England Year 1

Welcome to the England Year 1 Class Page.  Here, you can find out about everything that we've been doing this term.

Friday 26th April

It has been a fantastic week here in England class full of lots of exciting learning about garden plants in Science, finding out all about William Shakespeare in History and we have continued with our exploring of printing in Art by creating our very own stencils.

 

This week, we have embarked on the exciting journey of storytelling and innovation! Inspired by the classic tale of the magic porridge pot, we have put our creative minds to work and have designed our  very own stories. On Wednesday, we have created our very own innovated story maps to go alongside our innovated stories. As a class, we changed our class story to be a magic sweet pot, found by a little boy called Coby who has to say the magic words ‘Abracadabra cook pot!’ to make it start cooking.  We can’t wait to see the magical tales they will write next week for the story. Hopefully some of these brilliant stories will feature on our writer of the month board.

 

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Friday 19th April

It has been such a busy first week back in England class this week. Our trainee class teacher, Miss Ferguson, is going to be teaching us in more lessons in the next coming weeks and will be sharing with you weekly on our class page what we have been up to.

 

In our bustling year 1 classroom this week, our young artists embarked on an exciting journey into the world of printing! The children dove into various printing techniques, exploring natural materials such as vegetables and plants. As a class we explored the technical elements of printing, but also discovered the joy of self-expression, and the unique patterns each object made when we printed them onto the page in different ways. The children enjoyed the printing process and embraced the lesson with enthusiasm and determination, showcasing their unique printing outcomes with pride.

 

In addition to this, our learners delved into the fascinating world of plants in Science. This week we started our lesson of by exploring all about wild plants. To support our knowledge of common and uncommon wild plants in their local area, the we went on a plant hunt. We explored the school grounds and used tally charts to record our findings.

 

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
