On Thursday it was World Book Day. We took part in a variety of different activities including describing our favourite book characters and reading our favourite books with our buddies on the school field, in the sunshine! Thank you to everyone who made some yummy treats, they all looked delicious and we loved spending time with our buddies.
This week we have taken part in a boccia compertition. The children showed some fantastic skills and had lots of fun while taking part. Thank you to Abi at Pennine Sports Partnership for orginising this!
I hope the sun returns this weekend for you!

In maths, we have started looking at mass. We have been using the balance scales to see which items are heavier and lighter than each other. We also measured the mass of different objects using non-standard units of measure. We discovered how many cubes have the same mass as everyday objects.
We had an assembly on Wednesday, from Abi from Pennine Sports Partnership, and she talked to us about our health and wellbeing. We discussed the impotance of a balanced diet, what food groups are included in our balanced diet and why we should make sure we drink enough water. We also discussed how important of being active for 60 each day to help both our physical health and mental wellbeing. Thank you Abi!
In science, we started looking at our new topic of seasonal changes, with a focus on Spring and Summer. We looked at different types of weather and how these can help us identify the season. We then learnt about weather forecasts and the different features shown when telling people what the weather is going to be like. We created our our weather forecast and presented them to the class!
Have a lovely weekend and I hope the sun keeps on shining!

What a fantastic half term we have had in class, on behalf of the whole Year 1 team, I would like to thank you all for your continued support that you have given the children. It has allowed them to progress and mature greatly!
In geography this week, we started looking at mountains, including what the highest and tallest mountains in the world are! We then looked closer to home and thought about what we would need to go and climb up mountain, considering the climate and other conditions you would encounter. We looked at different items that Mr Hobson takes when he climbs mountains and Chester even tried them on! Doesn't he look the part!
Have a fantastic half term break, get lots of rest and have lots of fun!

We have been looking at moving robots in computing and this week we had to follow instructions to move the Bee-Bots forwards and backwards. We had to place Bee-Bot on a specific object before following the commands. We always started with the clear command before programming Bee-Bot to move in different directions.
Have a lovely weekend, only 1 week to go!

Jump, shape, create!

We have been looking at the shape element of our jump, shape, create topic in PE. We thought of the shapes different animals made when they moved and recreated these, thinking about their positions. We then made different shapes when we jumped safely from one side of the room to the other. We finishd by holding different points of balance for 5 seconds.
Last week, we all enjoyed getting back into the forest! The snow and ice may have all gone but we remembered it when we read Jack Frost during our outdoor snack time. We noticed the effects of the melted snow and ice as our buckets are now full of water and the ground is nice and soft for digging. We are keeping a close eye on the bulbs that we planted which are now growing tall and strong.
Have a fabulous weekend, only 2 weeks to go!
