Blog for Friday 28^th March 2025

Easter has been the theme in Year 1 R.E. lessons this half term. The children have learnt the key events in the Easter story and recorded their knowledge in variety of ways including creating pictorial eggs for the Easter tree. The children’s knowledge of the Easter story is impressive and they have made thoughtful contributions to class discussions.

In computing lessons, the children have continued to practise early programming skills to move a Beebot to a particular square on a grid. At first, they thought it looked straight forward but they found it was easy to make an error where the Beebot missed the target square. However, this provided an opportunity to agree within their group how to correct the mistake.

Last week, the children completed a weather watch and recorded the spring sunshine and the warmer temperatures. They also a had close look at daffodils and created wonderful watercolour paintings.

During science, the children took part in in practical science investigation to demonstrate their enquiry skills. They were challenged to make paper flowers and test the absorbency of the paper by putting the flowers in a tray of water.  There were interesting variables for them to explore, including different types of paper and the size and shape of the flowers.
