Personal Development-Being Healthy with Year 1

In Personal Development, we have discussed what we think leading a healthy lifestyle looks like. Some examples included, brushing our teeth, washing our hands and getting lots of exercise. 

Today, we looked at pictures and categorised them into healthy and unhealthy practices before adding them to a mind map. 












Year One Maths

Today in maths, Year One have been counting in multiples of ten to help them work out multiplication number sentences.  












Beautiful Bulbs!

In Science, Year One are learning all about plants. We have been learning about the parts of plants and what each part does. Damson Tree have been waiting patiently to see their runner beans start to shoot and their daffodils to flower. We have been observing them closely. 








Chinese New Year in Reception

 Before our half term holiday we learnt about and celebrated Chinese New Year. We created lanterns, dragon puppets, write Chinese numbers and worked together to crate our own dragon dance.

Weighing it up in Reception

 In Reception we have been thinking about different types of measurement. At the moment we are focusing on weight and how we can measure it in different ways. We started by using balancing scales to see how many unifix cubes we needed to work out the weight of our classroom objects before using electronic scales to measure more accurately. 








Digital Leaders explore micro:bits

This week, our Digital Leaders became the first pupils to use our brand new set of micro:bits. These tiny, pocket-sized computers are a fantastic tool to allow children to get hands-on with Computing and technology. The children used the laptops to create name badges and then downloaded the coding to the micro:bits. They were also able to add music and sound effects to their badges. Amazing!

Find the Troll!

 Year One were  shocked to discover that a troll had been in their playground during the half term. The troll was very angry and broke a chair and covered the classroom doors in slime. 

We discussed how we needed to catch the troll so enjoyed making some wanted posters.
