Year 1 went on an amazing trip to the seaside. We travelled to Llandudno, North Wales. The day was spent playing on the beach, eating ice-cream, walking on the pier and watching a traditional Punch and Judy show.

Would you like to be beside the sea?

In Year 1 we have been busy learning how to read, follow and write instructions. We made Lighthouse Sandwiches for Mrs Grinling last week and this week we are writing the instructions to match, pop in and see if you like.
Below are pictures taken from when we made bread for the Little Red Hen, do you think you could type some instructions to match?
By the way it tasted delicious so you if you fancy having a go and need any bread making advice, just ask Year 1!

1KJ had a great trip to the Post Office on Friday, we wrote our addresses on the envelopes as part of our home learning task, then wrote a letter home in the independent writing area. Take a look at our lovely photos!

We're not going anywhere!

Last week Year 1 all went to the playground in the Park to investigate Push and Pull.  We found out that some things you push, some things you pull and some things you do BOTH! If you want to see how much fun we had just look at this photo.(There are lots more photos in all of the classrooms)

We’ve been building up to Christmas in 1KJ, take a peek…

Playing with penguins and polar bears in the Small World area and decorating our salt dough Christmas tree decorations in the Malleable area.

Writing letters to Santa in the Writing area and wrapping up warm for outdoor play.

This half term in Year 1 we are answering the Big Question ‘Are you afraid of the dark?’ We have been looking at how people celebrate using light and dark.
We had a firework display in the park and look how we are turning this into a dance.

Look at Kai in the ‘light and dark’ investigation area.

This half-term we have been ‘under the sea’. As part of our learning we went to the Blue Planet aquarium to see for ourselves who lives in water.

We saw terrapins eating brocolli!!

We stroked some stingrays.

We learnt to communicate underwater.

We finally found Nemo!

We have been learning to recognise pushes and pulls this half-term, can you recognise which force is being used in these pictures?
