Spring Term

1.1 had an amazing time visiting Hertfordshire Zoo. We attended a workshop and continued to learn about mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish. We loved getting to see all of these animal groups around the zoo.

1.1 had a great time celebrating World Book Day. We created our own monster and used adjectives to describe it, had a story swap with Year 4, wrote our own books and met the author Luke Temple in our workshop.

1.1 enjoyed creating their own hungry caterpillar using fruit and vegetables as part of our HCL workshop today.

1.1 enjoyed making cowboy caviar and tortilla cups as part of Food Festival Week. We continued to practice our cutting skills using the bridge method.

1.1 enjoyed playing a game to practice counting back from 20 in Maths.

1.1 have been learning about measures in Maths. They worked in groups to order objects from lightest to heaviest.

1.1 have enjoyed reading our whole school text 'And Tango Makes Three' in English. Earlier this week they worked together to sequence pictures from the story in the correct order.

Autumn Term

In DT 1.1 worked in groups and applied their knowledge of ways to join cardboard to build their own structure.

1.1 were exploring different ways of joining cardboard to see which was the most stable in DT.

In D&T, the class enjoyed working together to build towers with different shaped foundation blocks. They also took on the challenge of building the tallest tower using the fewest blocks.

1.1 enjoyed using actions, pathways and counts to create their own dance in PE.

1.1 used different textured papers to create a surface and they painted this with the primary colours.

1.1 were working hard to remember their Geography learning about the 7 continents and the 5 oceans. They worked as a group to complete the jigsaw and piece together the continents and oceans.

1.1 enjoyed using their D&T design to start making their moving pictures using a slot slider.

In our PSHE lesson we were talking about different feelings and the children drew a picture of something they are proud of.

1.1 were practicing weaving to create a pattern in D&T.

1.1 were working hard in Maths. They were making groups of objects and comparing them using our star words, more and fewer.
