Bug Hunting in Year 1

Last week at Forest School we went bug hunting.  We even looked in the pond!  The children had great fun and Elliot found a fab hiding space while we were playing hide and seek! 

Peepo in Year 1

In our reading lessons we have been exploring the book Peepo.  We noticed that they have lots of objects in their house that we don’t have (including an outside toilet).  The book is set in World War 2.  We looked at the gas mask bag on daddy’s bed and Eric very proudly brought in his […]

Goodrich Castle in Year 1

In Year 1 we have been learning all about castles and today we went on a very exciting trip to a real-life castle Goodrich Castle. We absolutely loved exploring the castle – from climbing up the very steep stairs to the highest point, the keep, and going down into the deep, dark dungeon! The smiling faces […]

Castles in Year 1

Imaginary Lands in Year 1

In English we have been exploring settings.  The children made up their own places and described them.  Which place would you like to go to ? ‘The trees are tall and bushy.  The clouds are fluffy like a cat.  The forest is very warm and welcoming.  There is a path that leads to the sea.’ […]

We found out that when the water was added, the food colouring dissolved and the colours made a beautiful rainbow. After this, we were full of questions… “What would happen if we used different sweets?” “Would […]

Frank and Bert in Year 1

On our curious quests this week we have been reading a book about great friends called Frank and Bert.  We have been learning how to use exclamation marks.  We drew the characters and wrote exclaiming sentences!
