Thank you to all the parents/carers who attended the Y1 Maths Workshop. I hope it gave you an insight into how we teach maths here at STOC.

In science we have been learning about objects and materials. First we looked at objects made from just one material, before exploring objects made out of more than one material.

During Spring 1, Y1C are learning about Knights and Castles in their History lessons. First we learnt about the best place to build a castle, before exploring the different features of Motte and Bailey and Stone Keep castles.

We can name the four seasons of the year. We looked at the changes during each season and described how they look and feel! We looked at what happens to the trees during each season and created a seasons calendar ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿƒ

Year 1 created a moving Christmas card in DT. We investigated mechanisms that are currently out there today. We practised creating a lever and slider mechanism of our own, designed and made a moving Christmas card and then evaluated our finished product. We hope you LOVE your Christmas card as much as we do!โ˜ƒ๏ธโญ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ผ๐Ÿผ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿผ

Year 1C, created a โ€˜random acts of kindnessโ€™ advent calendar. We shared our ideas of ways we can help others this December. Random acts of kindness are small, selfless gestures that can have a big impact on others. This December, we are going to think of others and carry out different acts each day. During December, we are rewarded with โ€˜advent tokensโ€™ for showing random acts of kindness too! We canโ€™t wait for the start of Advent...

Year 1 had a wonderful morning, observing and handling reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals, to enhance their learning in science. They loved their visit from the animal workshop!

We have been learning about the five animal groups in science

We had a visit from Little Angel Theatre who treated us to a fun workshop about the book Charlie Cook and His Favourite Book!
