Science
In Science this half-term, 1S have been exploring the season Spring. Through this they have been looking at new life, weather patterns and identifying different plants, flowers and animals.
1S went out onto the KS2 field and had to draw and note down all the signs of Spring that they could find, for example, daisies and birds nests. 1S worked as part of a team and really enjoyed the freedom to explore in a new, bigger outdoor area!

Science Visit - 12.1.26
Year 1 was visited by Ian Bond, to revisit some learning that they had done within Science in Autumn 1.
With the children Ian recapped learning we had done about carnivores, herbivores and omnivores.
Ian used a bat detector so that the children could hear what bats sound like and the different noises that they can make. The children loved this part and could not stop talking about their new fun facts about bats!
The children told Ian what their favourite animals were and also some facts that they had learnt. 1S also amazed Ian with their knowledge on classification and could tell him whether an animal was an omnivore, carnivore or a herbivore.
It was an incredible morning and 1S had a fabulous time! Thank you very much Ian.
The pictures below show some of the work the children have been doing in Science and also their Science visit from Ian Bond.
Welcome back everyone!
I hope we have had an enjoyable Christmas and New Year.
Please see attached the Curriculum Overview for Spring term, which will show you everything that the children will be learning between now and Easter. Please also see attached the Homework for Spring 1 below.
I am looking forward to the New Year ahead.

Hello everyone!
What an amazing term we have had in 1S, the progress and watching the children grow has been incredible to see!
Below are some pictures of the children in Mathematics. This term we have been focusing on Place Value within 10: Addition and subtraction within 10, number bonds to 10, less than, more than and equal to, worded problems and one more and one less than. We have also learnt about 2D and 3D shapes, their properties, how we can sort them into groups and what objects and resources around the classroom look like these shapes, for example a water bottle is a cylinder.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !!!

Hello everyone.
This week in PSHE, we have been celebrating Black History Month. To celebrate the children made their own self portraits using oil pastels, inspired by the artist Jean Michel Basquiat. The children learnt about why we recognise Black History Month and learnt about Basquiat's style of mark making.
Excellent work 1S, well done!!
Miss Zetterstrom-Smith.
