Week ending 12th March 2021
We've had a fantastic week back, full of hands-on discovery to ease the children back into the routines and systems of learning at school.
Our afternoons have been mainly focused on Mars, learning about the excitement of the successful landing of the Mars Rover, Perseverance. The children have been studying the surface of Mars and making replicas, they took on the challenge of making a rover out of pasta and finally they made a hinged mechanical arm to scoop up Martian soil.

Year 1 Curriculum Overview 2020 - 2021
Week ending 4th December:
We have started a new topic in Maths about 3-D and 2-D shapes. The children have been busy sorting and organising 3-D shapes into sets. They have also been spotting these shapes in everyday objects - perhaps they could have a look at home and see if they can identify some, eg. cylinders (Pringle tubes), cones (traffic cones), cubes (dice), cuboids (boxes) and spheres (footballs).
In Geography this week, we have been comparing the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and looking at the animal life found there. We have also been looking at animals in Science and the habitats they live in, particularly the Savannah and our local woodland area.
Our Forest School afternoon was very wet and muddy but there was some shelter and the children had lots of fun!
We have been busy with our nativity rehearsals too. Thank you for all your support with this. We are looking forward to seeing their costumes this week.
Well done to Hector for his Head's Hero award!
