Special Toy Day
At the start of our toy topic, we brought toys that were special to us. We looked at their materials and everyone told us why they were special to them.
Building a Sukkah
Today we learned about how Jewish people celebrate harvest. They build Sukkahs - temporary huts in which Jews may eat, sleep or spend time in during their week long festival of Sukkot. We tried building our own and made sure that there was a way that the stars and sky could be seen.
Y1 Taste Testing RE

Y1 Taste Testing

Y1-Tony Peek Visit
We enjoyed a visit from the poet and author, Tony Peek today at school. He shared some of his poems and songs with us. We did some amazing fish dancing and laughed a lot.
Senses-smelling experiment
The children enjoyed predicting what they could smell. It was interesting that some children thought it was chips when it was tomato sauce!
Autumn Walk
We explored the school grounds to find out what happens in autumn. We went to the horse chestnut tree and spotted all the colours that the leaves are turning. We also picked up something that we could draw back in class.
Senses-touch
Today we explored the sense of touch by guessing which object was in my bag. The children did very well describing the materials so our friends could guess.
Young Leaders Y6 and Y1
We enjoyed having the Year 6 using their leadership skills this morning. They were showing us some of the playtime games that we could play at break time.
Y1 Self Portraits
We used our sense of sight to look closely at our faces. We chose the correct colours and discussed the features of our faces.
