Design Technology is a favourite lesson for lots of the class. We used our skills of joining and strengthening to make a chair for a teddy.

We had to work in a small group, so we had to talk and listen to each other to make a plan. 

We have another make coming up in the next few…

What a great time we had in the library! We all chose a book that looked interesting and used our phonic knowledge to read. Next, we enjoyed a story called Billy’s Bucket!
 

We have been busy looking at and handling a variety of materials to work out what they are. We also looked at a variety of objects to decide what they are made of. Science in year 1 is very “hands on” and we all love exploring!

Year 1 have been really busy in English lessons over the last two weeks. We have learnt and performed, to nursery, the rhyme, "Hickory Dickory Dock."

Next, we changed the rhyme to include our favourite animal and then had a go, on our own, at writing our new version.

Year 1 Sacrament went to find our class tree! We will be watching how our tree (a common lime) changes over the year! The children had great ideas of what may happen!

Lovely listening during PE today. We have been improving our skills of hopping, jumping and skipping and learning how to do an under arm throw.

We investigated a variety of materials as a start to our new science topic. We had an interesting discussion about what things are made of!

We have been learning about types of families and today we went for a walk around school to meet members of our school family. We have settled into Year 1 and we are starting to learn our new routines.

1 Blessed have settled into Year 1 wonderfully and have been hard at work all week. Today we went for a walk around school to look at the local area around The Blessed Sacrament school. This is for our current Geography topic of ‘Our local area’.

And just like that year 1 are ready to leave! They are ready for year 2. We have had a fantastic year making memories! 
 

Year 1 enjoyed their PE lesson on the MUGA this week. One of our exercises was learning to do, and perfect our skills at, a standing long jump. They all tried their very best. 
 

Year 1 have thoroughly enjoyed their turn with a Roving Robot Workshop run by BAE. It was all about team work and together groups programmed the speed of a robot to get the fastest time around the course.
