Year 1

Published on 15th December

As part of our science learning year 1 have been exploring the changing seasons. We put on our boots and explored our school grounds for signs of the changing seasons. We picked up leaves, squelched in the mud, used fallen branches, sticks and leaves to make a large autumn tree and made autumn mobiles with some of the items that we found.

In this lesson the children were expanding their knowledge of the weather and how it can change in the different seasons of the year. They learned lots of new vocabulary - 'foggy' being a firm favourite, and they also started an investigation into whether or not a pine cone can predict the weather!

To celebrate the end of our Best of British topic, year 1 travelled back in time to the realm of lords, ladies and medieval knights. Dressed for the occasion, the children spent the morning preparing for a banquet. They made “trenchers” (medieval bread used as plates) ready to cook on the fire later, created pennants to carry to the feast, and practised their fighting and jousting skills.
