Six weeks ago we planted sunflower seeds and we have been monitoring their growth. The stems are now over 30cm! We have been keeping a diary and noting the changes that have happened during the term. This week we are going to take them home and repot them so they can grow into a full…

In Year 1 we have been learning about the United Kingdom. We have been learning about the names of the countries and features of their capital cities. To help with our learning we have made messy maps to show landmarks in the different cities.  Super work Year 1!

This week 4B have created their own volcano using papier mache. Mrs Southward can't wait to see them all when they are painted next week.

Both Year 1 classes have enjoyed a trip to Blackpool Zoo this week. We loved observing the animals and discussing their similarities and differences.  We heard lots of animal noises too including chattering monkeys, baking sea lions and roaring lions.

This term we are thinking about our wonderful bodies.

This week is Science week!

We have looked at how to improve our school garden to support the wildlife and insects. We selected natural materials from around the garden to create bug hotels and we are hoping to come and visit every few weeks to see if any insects or animals have booked a…

This week in craft club we chose to make Forky from Toy Story.
