  China Day

  Ni-Hao! Year 1 enjoyed our China day to celebrate our travels around the world in Geography.  We took part in traditional Chinese Dances using props. We loved taking part in a fan, dragon and parasol dance with Chinese music in the background.

  Thank you to PrimaryWorkshopsforSchools for an amazing workshop!

  In the afternoon we used our taste buds to try Chinese snacks and sauces! We tried seaweed, plant crackers (prawn crackers), rice crackers, spring rolls and fortune cookies. We dipped these in Soy, Plum, Sweet chilli and Hoisin sauce. The plant crackers were a big hit in class!

  Science Investigation! How animals use camouflage

  As part of our Polar Adventures, we are investigating how animals live in the Artic and Antarctica.  We discovered many animals use camouflage, including predators and prey to blend in with their surroundings.

  Walk around our local area

  In Geography, the children have been learning about our local area, navigating using maps and recognising markers on a map. We went for a walk around our school, spotting recognisable landmarks from our travels to school.

  Navigating

  In year 1 we are learning about our local area. I challenged year 1 to follow a map with markers on, and find the different place markers around the school. We found the hall, pirate ship, tyres and welcome shelter using the map.

  Last Day Of Year 1

  Another year of year 1 completed. It has been a pleasure to get to know our children and watch them grow. A class full of laughter, dance and music! They’ve all worked hard in their learning and I know they will continue to be their amazing, lovely selves in year 2. We will miss your smiles, jokes and musical tastes! (BTS, Queen, George Michael, DJ Raphi)

  Wishing you a lovely summer and new start in year 2! Miss Kelly and Mrs Jefferis
