Welcome to Class 1
Find out what we will be learning about this year by visiting the our curriculum section of our website.
In this section you will find details of our activities:
Week commencing 5th November 2018
This week class 1 have been using our senses. We went outside to see what we could hear around us, what we felt and saw. We also talked about Remembrance Day and wrote poems about what Peace feels like, looks like, tastes like etc. Here are a few of our poems.
In Art n’Klart this week we have been making Happy Divali cards.
Class 1 celebrated Halloween in style!! We had a classroom of witches and wizards for the afternoon and had some spooky treats.
Week commencing 29th October 2018
This week class 1 have been painting Halloween pictures for the school disco. Can you see any ghosts or bats in our paintings? We made stencils and used our fingers to create a dotty picture in fluorescent colours with, of course, glitter for extra sparkle at night!
All of our five senses definitely got working when we created some very strange Halloween potions in science!
Week commencing 15th October 2018
The children in class 1 have recently been doing some role play acting out their favourite stories such as ‘The Little Red Hen’ and ‘Whatever Next?’.
Week commencing 29th October 2018
Class 1 have been investigating the stages of growth from an apple seed to an apple tree. We looked inside a ripe apple and found the pips. We took some out and planted them to see if they will grow. We learnt the stages of growth from pip to tree and wrote our own booklets to explain how apple trees grow.
We have also being learning about the Autumn weather. Today was quite windy so we listened to a story about a kite, made our own kites from a plastic bag and then went outside to fly them in the wind. They flew really well!
Week commencing 15th October 2018
This week we talked about all the different things that trees give us. We tried drawing pictures with charcoal. We soon learnt that it smudges very easily! We also tried to make our own paper by recycling old paper. We ripped up the paper into tiny pieces and made it into a soup. Today we have pressed it out onto a frame and left it to dry.
In Art and Klart we made rockets in preparation for Bonfire Night! After painting the tubes and cutting a nose cone and feet to support it, we had great fun decorating it with fluorescent paint and space stickers!
Week commencing 1st October 2018
After reading the story “Whatever Next” about a bear who makes a rocket out of a cardboard box, Lance and Iona gave it a go themselves. They did a great job choosing pieces of junk to make wings, a steering wheel and even fire. After they’d finished building their rocket they wrote the numbers on the wings to count down from 10 and even wrote “Blast Off!” at the end. Well done Lance and Iona!
Week commencing 17th September 2018
Some pupils brought in seeds and leaves they had found at the weekend on Autumn walks. Mrs Stephens also brought in lots of different types of seeds from an Autumn walk and we looked closely at them and sorted them into seeds that would stick to animals fur (and us!) , seeds that could be carried by the wind and seeds that could be eaten by animals (not us!)
