Windsor Castle
Year 1 started the term with an amazing trip to Windsor Castle. The whole class represented the school so well and the trip could not have ran smoother.
They enjoyed exploring the castle and chapel as well as having a session called "Meet the Monarch" to consolidate their previous learning on King Charles III.
Week 1
During our first week back in Autumn 2 we introduced our new book in Literacy - Send for a Superhero.
We have therefore being exploring lots of Superhero themed activities including Superhero small world, threading superheroes and writing the super tricky words.
We have also started our new RE unit - Prayer and have been learning more about types of prayers, what we say in prayers and when we say special prayers.
In ICT we looked at the keyboard and finding the letters in our names.
Week 2
This week Year 1 have been exploring Bonfire night and all the firework themed provision in our class. A particular favourite has been creating loose parts firework skies.
We have new outdoor tables in our provision so we have been using these too and can't wait to improve our Keystage one garden area further.
In D&T we have started to design a very special gift for our adults at Christmas... watch this space...
We also learnt to log in to the Chromebooks for the first time.
Week 3
This week has been a busy week for Year 1. It is our other faiths week where we look at Hinduism and it is also our assessment week.
We have lots of Diwali based provision in class including designing a Mendhi pattern, making Rangoli patterns and a Diwali table. In our class sessions we looked at how we are all unique and diversity to start the week and then moved onto the Hindu celebration of Diwali.
