Y1 Forest Schools, by Mrs Bailey

Date: 18th Feb 2023 @ 2:27pm

Year 1 had great fun learning outside as part of Forest Schools. Mr Hadfield linked our outdoor learning to our science curriculum, with a particular focus on materials and their properties. We enjoyed building protection and shelters for the wildlife living on our school grounds, as well as some of the character toys he brought along.

We had the opportunity to tap into our senses, look up into the sky, relax and feel a sense of stillness, using strategies we have been learning in myHappymind, as we sat in Mr Hadfield's hammock.

To end the day we built an open fire and enjoyed toasting marshmallows. The end to a perfect day!

Toys in the past, by Mrs Bailey

Date: 8th Jan 2023 @ 9:22am

Year 1 have been learning more about toys that children played with in the past. So far we have done this by looking at books about toys from the past, by making toys from the past (today we made Jack-in-a-boxes) and by talking to adults about what they played with when they were younger.

A special thank you to Alistair's granna for sending us a fantastic recording of herself telling us all about her favourite teddy bear Harold. 

Thank you also to Pat, our school Crossing Patrol, for coming to talk to us today. We discovered that Pat played lots of different games with a tennis ball when she was younger. She also played with blocks and had a special teddy. She didn't have any electronic devices.

We have been busy preparing questions to ask some of our parents who are coming into school next Friday afternoon, to find out what they played with when they were younger.

Character strengths which we have explored:

Love and kindness. Being kind and caring to other people and ourself.

Bravery and honesty. Being brave and determined, even when things are tough. Always telling the truth.

Exploring and learning. Always wanting to learn and find out more about new things. Asking lots of questions.

Teamwork and friendship. Good at working in a team and involving others. Is a good friend.

Love of life and our world. Loves to be involved in lots of different activities.  Enjoys learning about the world we live in.

Year 1 Super Little Scientists, by Mrs Marshall

Year 1 had the best time with Lauren from Super Little Scientists yesterday?.  We were learning about seasonal changes and weather and we did some amazing science such as, making rain clouds, creating rainbows, making a tornado (vortex) in a bottle and even some cool autumn leaf bashing with mallets where the colours made a really pretty pattern.

We hope you enjoy our pictures.

Y1 Forest Schools, by Mrs Bailey

Date: 10th Sep 2022 @ 4:43pm

We had a great time with Mr Hadfield today at Forest Schools in our incredible school grounds. We learnt about homes and habitats, made a big nest and took on the role of parent and baby birds, built a home for our Gruffalo, went on a bug hunt, practised mindfulness in our quiet spots, used Dragon Sneeze fire steels and toasted marshmallows on an open fire pit to name but a few things! Team work, sharing and gratitude were key elements of our learning today.

Thank you for sending children in with a spare pair of footwear and long sleeved tops and trousers.

Year 1 visit to Year 2, by Miss Jones

Date: 8th Jul 2022 @ 3:36pm

Yesterday we had our transition morning for next year. As the children soon realised, nothing much is changing except our classroom! We had a lovely time exploring our new room and they all decided they loved the green walls!! We enjoyed being creative, turning a black dot into something amazing! It was so lovely to see their imaginations take them in different directions and the work they produced was magical! They were all at ease and seemed more than ready for their Year 2 journey.

We are looking forward to another wonderful year with them.

Liverpool World Museum, by Miss Jones

WOW! The children have been exceptional and it has been a wonderfully busy day! They have smiled all day long and it has been lovely to see their excitement as we explored the different themed rooms. It was hard to pick a favourite! We had a sunny picnic in the park which seemed to be to everyone’s delight. We are really proud of how the children behaved and respected other’s around them. Thank you to our helpers too for doing a fabulous job!
