Spring Term

Y1 Parents' Meeting Spring 2024

Continuous Provision - Learning Through Play

We know that choosing is learning! We share, collaborate, explore and extend our ideas through play. 

English

We have been reading the book 'Beegu' by Alex Deacon.

P.e. - Gymnastics with Amber

We have been using our gymnastic skills to take on acrobatic challenges in our gymnastics lessons!

P.e. - Dance with Caroline

We are learning to move our bodies to music. We are collaborating to choreograph, practise, and remember dance routines.

Science - Materials

We have been investigating the properties of different materials. We used our knowledge to sort materials by their properties. We also thought about the best materials for different purposes.

Design Technology - Houses for the 3 little pigs

We used our scientific knowledge to respond to a design brief. The 3 Little Pigs needed our help designing houses to protect them from the big bad wolf! 

Which materials are waterproof?      Which materials are rigid?      Which materials are strong?

We made and tested our houses against the wind and rain!

Music with Mr Davies

We are creating musical conversations. We listen to our partners and take turns to play instruments. 

History - Toys from the Past

We have been exploring the differences between toys from the past and our modern toys. We compared toys to see how they have changed over time. 

Reading Cafe

Thank you for coming to our Reading Cafe. We love reading with you!

Science - Plants

We loved planting bulbs outside our classroom. We are looking forward to watching them grow!

Art - Henri Matisse

We have been exploring the work and techniques of influential artist Henri Matisse. 

We used collage to create our own spring time collages.
