	<link>https://www.hawthornprimaryschool.co.uk/blog/?pid=72&amp;nid=4&amp;storyid=606</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p>As part of Black History Month, Year 1 explored the importance of celebrating our differences. We looked at the work of a Black author, Hannah Lee, who wrote My Hair and discussed the different types, colours and textures of hair that people have. The children then created wonderful pictures of themselves, carefully thinking about their own unique hair. We enjoyed talking about how everyone is different and special, and how these differences should be celebrated.&nbsp;</p>

	<link>https://www.hawthornprimaryschool.co.uk/blog/?pid=72&amp;nid=4&amp;storyid=532</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p>In Science, we have been learning how plants grow. Children have really enjoyed learning about&nbsp;the process of germination and the different growth stages of a plant, from seed to adult plant. We have introduced&nbsp;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.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Children have enjoyed&nbsp;planting their own seeds in class, understanding the importance of looking after them by nurturing and&nbsp;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&#39;t look after seedlings and if the conditions aren&#39;t right, producing mouldy seeds and no growth at all. Fingers crossed we do some success&nbsp;and are able to plant them out in our school garden.&nbsp;</p>

<p>We have created a Year 1 garden&nbsp;(this is located in the train containers in the playground), from plants Mrs Barrow has grown in her own garden. Children have enjoyed&nbsp;planting them all out and are very fond of checking on them daily during their playtime, making sure they have plenty of water.</p>

	<link>https://www.hawthornprimaryschool.co.uk/blog/?pid=72&amp;nid=4&amp;storyid=530</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p>In art this term, we are learning about&nbsp;Andy Goldsworthy who is a&nbsp;British sculptor, photographer, and environmentalist&nbsp;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&rsquo;s relationship with nature. Permanent works include&nbsp;Storm King Wall,&nbsp;Roof, and&nbsp;Garden of Stones. He was appointed OBE in 2000 and lives in Scotland.</p>

<p>We have enjoyed creating our own sculptors using different materials we have found around school!</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Maths has been fun, we have been practising counting in 2&#39;s,&nbsp;5&#39;s and 10&#39;s. We have also been recognising equal groups, how to add equal groups and how to share equal groups.&nbsp;</p>
