Harvest time!

30th September 2022
Today, we watched the NFU Harvest Live session. We looked at different food and decided whether they were a stem, leaf, root, fruit or seed and learnt all about what happens during a cereals harvest. We then created the world's biggest virtual combine harvester by replicating the actions of this machine.
After the session, our class went out to our school field and harvested the apples growing on our apple trees. We tasted these in the afternoon and they were delicious!
This week we went outside to think about how the seasons change and how daylight hours become shorter as we move into Autumn. In our story the 3 Little Pigs had a problem; they need to build strong shelters before it got too dark in the evenings. We thought about all the animals in the wild who start to build shelters at this time of year, all ready for the colder weather and darker evenings that are on the way.
Hope the weather warms up for you!

During our dance session we have been looking at different seasons. This week we looked at winter and thought how we could move our legs and arms, imagining we were wrapped up warm on some ice. We watched an ice skater and how she moved herself across the ice then tried to replicate this in our hall. We watched each other and gave 1 star and 1 wish for different performances. How fantastic we all were, gliding, jumping and turning across the 'ice'!
Tiger-tastic Week!

Wow!
I know I speak on behalf of the whole team in Year 1 when I say how incredibly proud we are of how well all the children have settled into the life of being a Year 1 child!
We have been doing lots of fun activities in maths, including groups objects within 10 in different ways.
In art, we learnt how to draw a self portrait using a mirror to look at our different features and compared these to our partners. We then walked around the room and admired the amazing work everyone had done!
We begun our phonic sessions and within these, we work together with a partner to read a book. Here we are looking through our speed sounds.
During PE, we started our dance topic where we will be creating dance routines linked with our science topic of the seasons. We pretended the hall was made of ice and 'skated' around jumping, spinning and creating different shapes like real ice skaters!
After such a busy week, we hope you all have a good rest ready for our first full week in Year 1!
