We also must mention the exceptional behaviour of all children whilst on the trip, the staff tea
m were so proud of them. Also, a really big thank you to our wonderful parent helpers, we couldn't do our trips without you! Thank you for giving up your time.

In D and T this half term we have been looking at freestanding structures. As a class we decided to make equipment for a playground. Here are the steps we followed:

- Select new and reclaimed materials and construction kits to build their structures.

We have also sown a variety of seeds, including carrots, beetroot, onion, spring onion, radish, cauliflower and kale.

We can’t wait to see how our garden develops and enjoy the fruits of our labour!

Year 1 - Science Week, by Miss Gough-Hughes
Date: 18th Mar 2022 @ 4:04pm
Science Week - Year One
The children have absolutely loved celebrating British Science Week this week. They have taken part in lots of exciting activities to celebrate this, linking to the theme of growth.
Throughout the week, they have enjoyed a virtual visit to Yew Tree Farm whereby they got to see lots of different animals in their habitat and ask questions to find out more.
Also this week, the children enjoyed completing a growth themed activity where they used string to measure their height. They then used the string to compare the size of them to other objects around school.
During a lunchtime club, some children took part in a curly wurly challenge, which was a bit messy but great fun. The champion managed to stretch their curly wurly to an amazing 76 cm.
The children have had a fantastic week and have thoroughly enjoyed participating in British Science Week. We have set an optional home learning science task on Seesaw for the children this weekend, if they would like to take a look.
Well done Year One!
