What a brilliant end to a fabulous half term! On behalf of the whole Year 1 team, I would like to thank you all again for your continued support that you have given the children.
To round off our history topic, we took to the field once again to recreate another battle. We have been looking at the critical contest for the crown in 1066 between Harold Godwinson and William, Duke of Normandy. We thought about how the English soldiers would have felt having just marched all the way down to the south of England to take part in another battle, then having to travel up and down the steep slope several times while battling the Normans.
What a lovely Spring morning we had in the woods this week! We spotted hundreds of sycamore seeds trying to grow, daffodils blooming and our bluebells growing steadily. Some of our deciduous trees are starting to grow fresh green leaves as well! We revisited the story of Owl Babies and thought about the food chain that owls are part of. We tried to hunt for prey like the mother owl; it was very tricky to keep quiet while we were searching for food! We got creative with clay and made some wonderful owls of our own using sticks, leaves and feather and seeds.
During our outdoor learning session, we managed to plant our Red Nose That Grows! We have placed it in our window and will keep you updated with the progress it makes. Our nose is going to promote butterflies visiting our beautiful woodland.
We had an exciting design and technolody session today. We planned our structure of a motte and bailey castles in our groups. We thought about how we are going to make our freestanding structure and which additions we were going to add to the bailey. We are going to be creating these after Easter so keep your eyes peeled!
Have a fantastic weekend and holiday everyone, get lots of rest ready to start school again in 2 weeks!
