Thank you to our parents and carers who managed to come to our parent workshop. Children enjoyed playing a variety of boardgames with their family and friends.
Which game was your favourite?
In Science, we have been learning how plants grow. Children have really enjoyed learning about the process of germination and the different growth stages of a plant, from seed to adult plant. We have introduced the basic structure of a plant and how they work together. We have also discussed the importance of providing the right conditions for plants to grow, such as water, sunlight and nutrients they need.
Children have enjoyed planting their own seeds in class, understanding the importance of looking after them by nurturing and watering them when the soil is dry. They have particularly enjoyed observing, watching their growth over time. We have also seen what happens when we don't look after seedlings and if the conditions aren't right, producing mouldy seeds and no growth at all. Fingers crossed we do some success and are able to plant them out in our school garden.
We have created a Year 1 garden (this is located in the train containers in the playground), from plants Mrs Barrow has grown in her own garden. Children have enjoyed planting them all out and are very fond of checking on them daily during their playtime, making sure they have plenty of water.
A big thank you to Miss James for our end-of-term treat! Children enjoyed their ice-lolly in the cool shade under the trees.
In art this term, we are learning about Andy Goldsworthy who is a British sculptor, photographer, and environmentalist celebrated for site-specific land art created from natural materials such as leaves, ice, stone, and wood. Known for ephemeral works documented through photography, his art explores impermanence, seasonal change, and humanity’s relationship with nature. Permanent works include Storm King Wall, Roof, and Garden of Stones. He was appointed OBE in 2000 and lives in Scotland.
We have enjoyed creating our own sculptors using different materials we have found around school!
Welcome to Summer Term in Year 1 with Miss Phillips and Mrs Barrow. Lots of our learning is fun and interactive!
In writing, we have been writing a non-chronological report about marine animals. Children have learnt some new facts and used them in their writing.
Maths has been fun, we have been practising counting in 2's, 5's and 10's. We have also been recognising equal groups, how to add equal groups and how to share equal groups.

Today we were visited by Rupam Lal, from OpenView Education, to work with us on keeping ourselves safe online. We had such good fun and learnt lots of information about how to keep ourselves safe and what is ok to share. We are now Internet Safety Wizards!
Here are a few things you can do at home with your family:
