Year 1 have been working hard in PE to practise for our upcoming Multi Skills Festival! Keep it up superstars 
Today is World Science Day and year 1 have learnt about Charles Macintosh who invented waterproof fabric. It was amazing to hear all of year 1s fantastic subject knowledge linked to materials and why his invention is so significant for our lives. We created fact files to show our understanding of this very important scientist. 
Year 1 thoroughly enjoyed our visit from Lucy Turner a GB heptathlon athlete! We loved the exercises she gave us and cheering on our friends. We then learnt so much about Lucy Turner and her achievements! A massive thank you Lucy 💪🏻⭐
This morning year 1 had a visit from Deborah who works for Nexus. She told us all about how we can stay staff on the metro, around the metro and when we are near the metro. Miss Booth was super impressed with our prior knowledge of metro safety but we have learnt so much more so a massive thank Deborah. 
What a fantastic trip year 1 had to South Shields Museum on Thursday 3rd November. This trip really enhanced our understanding of the past and the children thoroughly enjoyed the learning. We loved making our boats in the afternoon and using plasticine to mould our own person.

This afternoon year 1 have started their computing learning all about technology around us, we found out that technology is anything that has been made to help us. We went on a technology hunt around the school and found so many examples of technology! 
What a super start year 1 have had to the half term, we have taken part in a debate morning. Firstly we found out what a debate was and debated big questions that are relevant to our little lives such as cats vs dogs, beach vs park and strawberry ice cream vs vanilla ice cream 🍨🐈🌊🐶. After playtime we used perplexed pictures to debate the big question Who was Jesus? Miss Booth is bursting with pride at how many fantastic and mature answers we have given today! Well done superstars ⭐
The rain did not stop us today. 💦🌧
Year one went on an exploration walk to spot and investigate shelters in the school grounds as part of their D&T work.
This week in art year 1 have been experimenting with print making! Year 1 loved mixing colours and creating simple patterns. We have then completed our final pieces and my goodness the colour mixing is brilliant, we have made so much progress! Well done superstars

This week year 1 we’re lucky enough to take part in a reading
festival. The children met the author and illustrator of the story The
Odd Fish, they heard the story read aloud, discussed plastic pollution and the affects on the sea and fish. We then got to work with the illustrator who showed us how to draw cartoon sea creatures! What a fun way to learn about such important issues! 🐠🐟🐡🗑
