This morning year one had a special visitor from the RNLI. The children learnt about staying safe in unfamiliar situations/environments, knowing the dangers in the water and the best ways to get help in an emergency.
In year one the children have been learning how to use a Venn diagram. They have sorted everyday materials into property categories, recognising if a material has more than one property. Great work 
Year 1 got to learn all about the importance of hand washing yesterday when they celebrated Global Handwashing Day. They took part in an experiment, read a story and even learnt a song too! Great job Year everyone!
Year 1 have loved starting their new Geography topic “Our Wonderful World” and are really getting to grips with new key concepts and vocabulary. Last Thursday (5.10.23) we learnt all about physical and human geographical features. Children loved sorting features using picture cards and some moved on to using a Venn diagram to compare a village and a city. The children were brilliant at spotting these features when we were out and about on our trip on Friday. Great stuff Y1!
Wow Year One had the best trip to Sunderland Winter Gardens on Friday. The children took part in a toys past and present workshop, where they investigated the similarities and differences between old and new toys. On the afternoon we explored the museum and visited the exhibition of Elmer and friends. We had such a good day we wanted to share all our photos! 
Year One get creative! This afternoon we have been creating a composition using colour mixing. We have been discussing primary and secondary colours and applying these to our work 
In Year 1, we are really enjoying our art topic, Mix It! We have been experimenting with primary colours, using different printing techniques, to see what happens when the colours mix. We now know which primary colours mix together to make the secondary colours. 
In Year One we have started a new topic in Maths. We have been looking at how a part-whole model is used to show how a whole number can be partitioned, or split, into different parts. They can be used to partition numbers or objects and visually represent how amounts can be combined to make a total. Great work Year One!
Unfortunately the sky was so grey and rainy as Reception were about to head out on their picnic today! We decided we didn’t want soggy sandwiches 
so we stayed in school and enjoyed our picnic together! We still had a great afternoon, having lots of fun and playing with our teddies! 
Reception loved participating in all the different races during sports day 
They were all winners! A big well done
