We have been learning about Buddhism in year 1C. Wesak is the Buddha’s birthday. It is celebrated on the full moon in May and is the most important Buddhist festival. It is celebrated in lots of different ways. They hang Wesak lanterns along streets and in front of homes. They signify the light of the Buddha. We made our own Wesak lanterns...

Year 1 celebrated their achievements in assembly this morning 🏆 Well Done 🏆

What an amazing year we’ve had!

Year 1 have designed, made and evaluated a fruit salad. We looked at where a range of fruit and vegetables comes from and how to prepare an ‘eat well plate’ as part of a balanced diet. We practised lots of skills as we made our yummy fruit salads. We tried cutting, slicing, squeezing, grating and peeling. Ask us about the bridge method and claw method when slicing! We enjoyed eating our delicious fruit salads 🍓🍇🍎🍋🍊🍌🍏🥝

We did it AGAIN! Year 1C achieved the highest attendance in EY/KS1 for the second week running 🏆 97.3% 🍫

Year 1 have enjoyed learning about the difference between deciduous and evergreen leaves. We now know that many evergreen leaves are long, thin, can be shiny/waxy and some are spiky like a holly leaf. Can you remember the names of any evergreen and deciduous trees?

We did it again! Year 1C achieved 96.7% attendance last week- the highest in EYFS and KS1 🏆🍫

Both classes joined together for PE today, to practice our sports day races!🎾🏸🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

On Thursday 20th June, we had a ‘Fun Day’ for all children, to continue the celebration of our ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted result earlier in the year. We had lots of surprise activities throughout the day! These included Dinos Teach Rex, Dino Puppets, Magic Bubbles, Bouncy Castles & Slides and lots of other creative activities in class!

Trees, trees and more trees! Y1C enjoyed exploring the school grounds today, looking at the deciduous and evergreen trees. Can you remember the names of the different parts of a tree?

We recognise trees all around us! Ask us about the trees outside our classroom...

Happy Father’s Day! ♥️

Well done to those children that received their golden pencil in today’s assembly! ✏️

Year 1C created portraits in the style of Picasso’s ‘Golden Muse’

Year 1C did it again! 99.7% attendance for last week. The best in EY and KS1 🏆

Year 1 have been looking closely at different flowering plants, naming the different parts. Can you tell your grown-up about the importance of the roots and stem? The children loved planting their own sunflower seeds to take care of at home.

Y1 enjoyed planting their sunflower seeds!

We created a block graph for Year 1C’s favourite crisps. Our block graph has a title, two axes, labels, and a scale. We took it in turns to add our crisp flavour to the graph.

Year 1C enjoy reading for pleasure! 📚📚
