Year 1 received some beautiful hand made flowers from our Year 5 pupils who had written kind, positive, messages to us as part of their work in PSHE. It really brightened our day reading some of the inspirational things they had written for us. Thank you so much Year 5 😊
Year 1 went on a trip to the Open Zone to take part in some computing activities.
We used animations with Scratch Jr and robotics with Wedo.
We learnt how to follow visual instructions to build a model, predict functions of the programming blocks, sequence a series of commands and so much more! It was such a fun day!
Year 1 love phonics! We have been playing lots of fun phonics games to help us learn! ⭐️
Year 1 have been using directional language this week to find their way from one London Landmark to another.
They have been using their maps skills and language skills to help plan their topic writing.
They had lots of fun on the yard, imagining they were in London giving each other instructions and describing the landmarks as they passed.
Year 1 read the story ‘The Birthday Bike Surprise’ as part of their new PE unit. During the warm up they explored how many different ways they could move whilst ‘riding their bike’.
Their skill this week was coordination and footwork, where they worked on side-stepping in both directions, side steps with pivots, hopscotch and moving in zig zag patterns.
They showed great fluency and control.
Well done everyone! 
Year 1 have been reading Katie in London as part of their Bright Lights, Big City topic.
Next week they will be writing their own adventure story about a trip to London. In preparation, they have spent time discussing the features of a story and finding out about popular London Landmarks.
Our lovely Jack in Y1 decided to use his own time to make sure our local environment was clean and tidy by litter-picking close to our school.
Thanks Jack for looking after our environment!
Year one have been busy this week!
As part of our science topic ‘Seasonal Changes’ and our Art topic ‘Rays and Sunrays’ we have created some brilliant seasonal paintings, rain gauges, wind socks and even had a go at being weather reporters!
