Craft club was very busy in skills academy last week. The children in key stage 1 had a fantastic time making their own rainbows! They were very proud of their work.

We took our Tudor houses outside and re-enacted the great fire of London from 1666. All of us had to stand back at a safe distance and there was plenty of water to put the fire out. We also spoke about fire safety and discussed how easily fire can spread.

Year 1 had a fantastic day at St John’s museum in Warwick. We learnt what it would have been like to be in a Victorian school. The teacher was very strict! Washing was also hard work in the Victorian times. We played with toys from the modern era and from the past.

We have been learning all about the Great Fire of London in year 1. We learnt that it happened in 1666 and that the Tudor houses were made of wood and they were close together which is one of the reasons why the fire spread so quickly. We designed and labelled a Tudor house and have started to make one

We were excited to welcome the Reverend Jonathan Taylor from St Bartholomew’s church to our school! He took an assembly and told us all about the Easter story and why it is a special celebration for himself, his church and the whole Christian community

We had fun dressing up for World Book Day!

We enjoyed junk modelling during skills academy.

We used the deans to work out our number bonds to 20.

We had fun designing and making our very own moon buggies. We brought a box into school, painted it and added an axel, a satellite and a chair. We’re hoping to add the wheels next week. We hope you like them!

In year 1 we have been learning about materials. We went on a hunt around school to find, touch, compare and name the materials that different objects are made from. We worked with our partner and wrote down our results. We found a metal drain, a wooden dolls house, a plastic chair and glass windows to name but a few.
