Blog for Friday 7^th February 2025

In celebration of Number Day, it was wonderful to see the Year 1 children in their number or patterned themed clothes. During the day, they took part in a range of activities: these included using their subitising skills to build a robot, taking part in a number hunt and a ‘How Many Jelly Beans?' challenge.

Wednesday P.E. lessons are about practising basic rugby skills including how to tag another player. Mrs Corlett is impressed with the children cooperating with each other and listening to instructions, so they can focus on the learning intentions. The Year 1 transport theme has moved on to the history of flight.

After learning about the Montgolfier brothers, who were the first people to fly using a hot air balloon, the children watched a short film showing early attempts at flight. They compared these flying machines with the invention of the first airplane by the Wright brothers.

In science and DT lesson, the children were challenged to use their new knowledge of the properties of materials to help the design and imaginary playground. They also had to label the playgrounds with the materials they had chosen. Many of their playgrounds included strong materials like wood and metal. Rocks and water (also a material) were popular for stepping stones and swimming pools!
