Year One have had a fabulous afternoon tasting and evaluating existing dips and dippers for our food and nutrition week. We are looking forward to creating our own dips next week!
Wow what a day year 1 had at The Discovery Museum, we walked and took the metro as part of active schools challenge. In the morning we took part in a very exciting workshop with Amy, she taught us all about The Stephenson Brothers and the locomotive competition. We role played how a locomotive works and felt cotton and coal. We were then challenged to work in teams to build our own locomotive, we were given an item list, money and materials and were set to build. Next was the most exciting part, we held our own competition and tested which locomotive was the best! After lunch we explored the museum and had lots of fun! We had such a great day, we were all very tired by the end even our teachers! Well done year 1 
Year 1 have finally set our Tudor Houses on fire! This was so exciting! We discussed how quickly the fire spread and the reasons for this, it was great to link our topic and science learning! A massive thank you to Mr Scrafton for leading this activity for us! 
In year 1 this morning we have been learning about special Jewish objects. Miss Booth showed us some of these objects that we have on loan from The North East Religious Learning Resource Centre, once we finished our task we were allowed to explore these further.
Year one have designed, created and are going to evaluate our Great Fire of London Tudor houses. We are so excited to burn these with Mr Scrafton soon!!
Yesterday year 1 learnt all about the Islamic festival Ramadan and Eid
al-Fitr as part of RE World Faith Festivals. We then created our own
crescent moon craft which we could use as a decoration for Eid
al-Fitr. We think they’re super, we hope you do too!

What a fantastic day year 1 have had for our trip to the Winter
Gardens! We completed a range of activities such as an animal
scavenger hunt, shapes and patterns hunt, canopy walks and exploring
the rainforest, hunting for the dinosaurs and using our senses to
describe the rainforest environment. The children were amazing
throughout the day, we are very proud! 
On Friday, year 1s forest school we have used our senses for a
scavenger hunt! The children loved exploring the nature garden and
applying our knowledge of our senses to find certain things!
Year 1 battled the elements this morning and completed our prayer
space activities! We thoroughly enjoyed reflecting on who we are
thankful for, who we love, times when we have felt supported, lonely
and humiliated or embarrassed. As we went around the stations we
reflected on Jesus’ journey to the cross. Super work year 1 🙏👏❄️🌨
Year 1 are coming to the end of their amazing learning of The Great Fire of London. To finish this we looked at fire safety and what we should do if there is a fire. We learnt 7 rules of fire safety and had a practice of some if these such as Stop, Drop and Roll. We practiced waving our arms to catch attention and shouting Help! Fire! We even practiced staying low and crawling to the nearest exit! Year 1 have loved this topic! ✋🚒🔥🧯
