Year One have had a truly wonderful day today taking part in our Fit 4 Fun Day. We started by playing Basketball then went onto a Obstacle course both were great fun.
After a much needed water break, we then had a game of football. Year One enjoyed our next station of Cheerleading and dancing, even Mrs Mc had a go!
Wow what an amazing trip year 1 have had at Donnison School having a Victorian Experience! We explored and handled Victorian artefacts, made observations on Victorian children, played with Victorian toys and took part in a Victorian role play experience! It was AMAZING!
This week Year One have been exploring STEM linked to music. First, we looked at lots of musical instruments and the different sounds they make. Next, we used our fantastic musical knowledge to chose an instrument and create a plan to design it. We chose maracas!
. At the end of the week, we evaluated our products, discussing what went well and what we could improve next time. Some of our parents came in and helped us record our maracas! We have had a fabulous week 
On Friday, Year One were using their research skills to learn lots of interesting facts about earthworms. We have learned about their body parts, what they eat, and whether they can tell the difference between light and darkness. We have had so much fun! 🪱
Year 1 thoroughly enjoyed our Summer Prayer Space activities in the nature garden. We reflected on our friendships, what we are grateful for and people who are in need e.g. homeless. We also took part in some forest listening which allowed us to sit quietly and connect with nature. Well done year 1

Today year 1 used all of their scientific knowledge of animals to generate questions about snails, we then worked with a partner to research the answers to our questions. Great job year 1 
Year 1 enjoyed their computing scavenger hunt!
What a brilliant morning year 1 had for aspirations day! We generated a list of questions and then went into the hall to meet a wide range of people from different jobs from a midwife, fire service to bomb disposal! When we returned to the classroom we reflected on the people we had met and what we learnt about their jobs. We then wrote about what job we want to do when we are older. What an interesting and inspiring morning! 
Reception and year 1 had a brilliant time on Friday afternoon linked to our topics! We had a visit from ‘Crazy Creatures’ and met lots of different exotic animals! We were able to hold and touch them, even put some around our neck and on our heads. This was so exciting and we were super brave, we loved it!
