Year 1 Blue

Term 1 in Year 1 Blue has been all about settling in and making new friends. Our days have been filled with hands on and creative activities, and opportunities to explore and discover.

A big focus in our classroom has been sparking curiosity and encouraging wonder. Each week, we’ve been researching big questions that some of the students have come up with, such as “What do spiders eat?” and “How does electricity go through metal?” These questions have really got us thinking and have led to fascinating discussions and research.

Alongside our learning, we have been focusing on kindness. Being helpful, using kind words, and being a good friend are some of the values that we’ve been looking out for in each other. It has been heartwarming to see students supporting each other, sharing, and celebrating each other’s successes.

We’ve also had some exciting milestones so far, with two birthdays to celebrate and two wobbly teeth falling out. We wonder how many teeth we will lose this year altogether!

We can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store for us!

Year 1 Gold

Year 1 Gold has started off the year with lots of group work and hands on learning activities. Students especially enjoyed making words out of playdough and building block towers when learning to count on. We have also been practicing re-telling The Gruffalo story, and along the way students have made their own clay Gruffalo characters and Gruffalo masks to help when retelling the story. In Science we have been investigation light and sound, and this week we discussed how shadows are made and students got to trace their partners shadows in chalk. However, Year 1 Gold’s favourite thing about Year 1 so far is having Year 6 Buddies to learn and play with on Friday afternoons!
