Year 1 blog
Wow, we've done so much since the last newsletter and it has been a busy half term filled with hard work. The children have continued to show their tremendous knowledge and it has been fantastic.

Winding, sliding and spinning around and around...no, the children have not been dancing! They have been creating their own working mechanisms in Design Technology. The children have been using recycled materials to create their own toy, which functions using a mechanism. This could be a pop-up book, a rotating toy or a toy which you pull and push. The children have learnt all about these different mechanisms and have practised creating them before designing their final piece of work. These toys will be the next biggest must have item so make sure you grab yours quickly as these awesome new toys will be flying off the shelf in no time!

Are you a penguin professor? Do you know everything about our feathered friends? Are you a wizard for the waddling wonders? Well, the Year 1 children are! We have been collecting all our knowledge on penguins in our writing and we have all designed a fact file to pass our knowledge onto you! Our team of child experts have been researching over the whole of the last half term, so you can trust our facts have been checked and are 100% accurate. P-p-p-perfect.
The learning has been phenomenal from last term and we can't wait to tell you more about what we will be looking at in the future when we will be following in the tiny footsteps a mouse in the deep, dark woods. To find out about what the children will be learning over the next three weeks, please use these links to the curriculum pages on our website:
