Year One made the most of National Storytelling Day exploring the story of Whiffy Wilson.

Year One had the most amazing visit to York. We looked at some of the famous landmarks and compared them to the landmarks we had been learning about in our topic ‘Bright Lights, Big City. We also visited the York Castle Museum to visit the Victorian street ready for our next topic.

In Year 1, we have been looking at axles, wheels and chassis’, as part of our DT topic, ‘Taxi!.  We tested boxes to see if we could move them and then added wheels on the bottom to see if it changed.

As part of our learning we have been combining our maths, art and topic knowledge to create London landmarks.

Year One have been applying their number knowledge to 10 to solve addition problems to 20.

Year One have been putting their programming skills to the test using floor robots and on screen Beebots. The trickiest bit was remembering to clear the memory!

Year One explored the principles of Buddhism focussing on being kind, honest and helpful during World Religions Day. We decorated kindness pebbles to give to our friends and family, made peace flowers and shared the story of ‘The Monkey King’ , a Buddhist story.

On Friday, Year One had a great day getting fully on board our Polar Express day, complete with hot chocolate and reindeer poop cakes.
