In Geography this week for our Wow Lesson the children made and tested out their very own kites. This was also one of our Experiences in Year 1 and the children loved flying their own kites. 

In Science the children learnt about evergreen and deciduous trees. They drew examples of the different types of trees and wrote sentences describing them. 

Apricot class enjoyed taking part in lots of fun outdoor learning during their Forest School session this week. They also enjoyed marshmallows and hot chocolates around the fire pit. 

Well done Year 1 for an amazing week - keep up all your excellent work!

The children also had a brilliant time at the Easter Bonnet Parade and also enjoyed taking part in an Easter egg hunt. 

We hope you all have a lovely Easter Break and we look forward to seeing you all again for the Summer term. A big thank you to all the parents and carers for your continued support.

Year 1 Week 7 Learning

 

 

This week, we have been retelling the story of Beegu and mapping the key events in the book.

Next week, we will be learning to write a diary entry. The children will be writing in the role of Beegu. They will be writing about significant moments in Beegu’s stay on earth after her spaceship crash landed! Alternatively,  their diary entry could be about the joyous moment Beegu was reunited with her parents after her stay on earth. Oh what unadulterated joy she must have felt!
