Reducing Food Waste

Jess came to talk to us today about food waste. First we found out about where different fruit and vegetables grow. Then we played a game closing our eyes and tasting some different fruits and vegetables. We described them using words such as crispy, juicy, soft, sweet and sour. We liked some, they were yummy, but not others.

Kirkley Hall Zoological Gardens

We had such a lovely visit to Kirkley Hall today, perfect weather, lots of animals and such well behaved children!

We went for a walk in the woods and spotted some bat boxes.

We had so much fun building bug hotels. We used sticks, logs, stones, pine cones and leaves. We were so excited when we spotted some minibeasts that had moved in straight away!

Here are our finished bug hotels!

Making woodland music!

Lots of animals, ask your child to tell you about them!

Coastguard Visit

We were super excited today when the coastguards came to visit Year 1. We learnt about staying safe at the beach. It was great fun trying on some of the coastguards' hats and coats. We pretended to rescue someone from the water and practised 'Float for your Life' so we would know what to do in case we got into difficulties in the sea.

Fractions Fun!

This week we have been learning about halves and quarters. Today we folded paper shapes into quarters, coloured quarters of shapes, buttered some bread and cut it into quarters and best of all got to eat it!

Here are some of our paintings to represent the story of Grace Darling.
