Let’s Go Fly a Kite!
In History this term, we have been learning all about the Wright brothers and the very first plane. We linked this to our Design and Technology topic by exploring how the Wright brothers used kites to help with their designs. The children have been busy designing and building their own kites!
We’ve looked at the history of kites and their significance in different cultures, explored which materials work best, and thought carefully about colours and patterns. We also created beautiful carp kites inspired by Children’s Day in Japan.
Fantastic Forest School
This term, Year 1 have had an amazing time exploring at Forest School! We crowned ourselves forest kings and queens, learnt about hibernation, and built snug little homes to keep animals safe for the winter. We made tasty berry squash, created awesome dens, and had the best time splashing in puddles and getting gloriously muddy in the mud kitchen! Every session has been full of laughter, learning, and a whole lot of forest fun!
Reading and Writing Supports
Below are writing and reading prompts we use in class. We encourage the use of these at home.
Grow the code: We use these daily to help with reading and writing. They contain each sound the children have learnt in phonics.
Vipers: A great range of questions to develop comprehension skills.
CEW: A list of the Year 1 Common Exception Words. We use these to support with spelling
