Autumn Term

Christmas in Year 1

We have enjoyed lots of Christmas activities such as Winter Wonderland, Christmas parties, Christmas lunch and creating Christmas craft items such as decorations and cards.

Design Technology

We have been learning about mechanisms in Design Technology. We looked at levers, sliders, made our own axles and chassis and then even made our own slider Christmas cards.

Remembrance Day

We observed 2 minutes silence at 11am on the 11th November for Remembrance Day. We have also been learning about Remembrance Day and creating some lovely items.

P.E.

This term we have enjoyed learning how to attack, defend and shoot, send and return different objects and have recently started gymnastics. We are also looking forward to our dance unit.

Forest school

This term we have enjoyed taking part in Forest Schools. We have learned how to tie knots in ropes, make delicious food in the mud kitchen and take risks.

Science

This term, we have been learning about materials in Science. We have conducted a few investigations, which we really enjoyed.

We received a letter from Miss Honey Potts asking us to find the best material to make a waterproof coat for teddy bears and also helped the Ice Trolls to stay frozen when they visited us.
