Year 1 were lucky to have some Y6 ambassadors join us for our computing lesson. They showed us how to use a keyboard to type. The children then had a go at writing some sentences.

Year 1 sport morning
This week year 1 started practising the different activities that they will complete during our sports morning. The children were really excited to try something new.
Y1 – Materials
As part of their materials topic Year 1 tested materials to find out which ones were waterproof. They came to the conclusion that plastic was waterproof. Mrs Carpenter then stood behind a big piece of plastic so we could really test it out. It’s a good job that they were right!
Interviewing Adults
As part of their topic some Year 1 children chose to interview Mr Cross and Mrs Suffield. They asked them about their current job and the jobs that they had had before.
Science in Year 1
Year one have been doing some great learning in science! Last week we investigated why giraffes have big hooves by trying to push different sized objects into the sand. We also explored designing a menu and creating pizzas for animals depending on whether they were, herbivores, omnivores or carnivores.
Today we identified and named different body parts through playing different games and drawing round someone in the class then labelling the drawing.
Y1 numbers to 20
Y1 Learning about African animals
We spent time in groups learning facts about different African animals. We learnt where they live, what they eat and some very interesting facts!
Penguin Visit
On Wednesday Year 1 came back from lunch to find a mess in their classrooms. There were footprints, ice, water and fish. The children acted as detectives to find out what had happened. On Thursday we were able to check the CCTV and found that it had been a penguin! Now we need to try and find the penguin so we can get some more information.
Reception Water Fun Day
Reception had an amazing water fun day today. The children enjoyed playing lots of different water related games and they ended with a big water fight!
Reception – Gressenhall
On Thursday we went on our school trip to Gressenhall.
We met Cinderella, Jack, Griselda, the Wicked Witch and the Curator. We enjoyed helping Griselda and Cinderella with their chores, searching for the magic bean with Jack, making potions with the Witch and even going on a tractor ride.
At the end we found all the objects and finally fixed the magical museum.
The children then wrote about their trip.
