Class of 2021

We created aerial view plans of our classroom using a range of materials found within the classroom. Each group decided upon and devised a key when making their maps so they were clear and easy to follow! 
 

Year 1 enjoyed a spring walk around the school grounds today. We looked for signs of the season and learned about why some trees lost their leaves over winter whilst others didn’t! We learned the new terms ‘deciduous’ and ‘evergreen’ and spotted these trees in our nature area. We heard birds…

We were very lucky to have Julia Donaldson read a traditional tale as part of our literacy topic this week. We also had an illustration masterclass from the famous illustrator, Axel Scheffler.

We explored mixing the primary colours to make secondary colours. We also discussed how we could make them lighter and darker.

Thank you to Mrs Kornas who came to talk to us today about how she helps people in her job. We had just excellent questions to ask her! 

We have been reading the story of Little Red Hen in our English. We discussed where the ingredients come from and we had a go at making our own bread. We looked at the skills of sifting, mixing and kneading.
