Year 1

Term 5 Summary:

We’ve had a great start to the summer term and have enjoyed going outside for some of our lessons.   

This term in science we have been learning about different trees and plants. We have been exploring the school grounds and we have identified different plants and trees. We found a sycamore tree at the front of the school and a cherry tree on our playground. We have identified the different parts of a plant and we even planted our own sunflower seeds.

In DT, we have been revisiting what healthy foods are and we designed and made our own healthy snack. We had brilliant cutting skills to make a fruit kebab and they were delicious!

As part of our writing lessons this term, we have been writing our own stories based on the story ‘The Queen’s hat’. Our writing was fantastic!

Each week in geography, we have been recording what the weather is like in the four countries of the UK to see if the weather is the same everywhere in the UK.

During this term, we also enjoyed a local history afternoon where we had to find out why our classes were named as they are. We looked at the Great Western Railway line and we could see places with our class names.
