Welcome to the Year 1 Class Page

Mr Morrison, Miss Fenton and Miss Welford welcome you all to Year 1!

English - The Great Paper Caper

Our current class book is 'The Great Paper Caper' by Oliver Jeffers. It is a story about a bear who cuts down trees to make paper airplanes but ends up having to replant all of the nature he destroyed. Our aim with this book is to write our own instructions for creating paper airplanes so the first step was to make our own! This is our attempt at creating and designing paper airplanes like the bear in the story. We tested them too, even having our own competition to see who's could fly the farthest!

DT - Freestanding Structures

In DT we have been planning and designing some structures for insects and small creatures. We considered our materials and discussed how to make strong shapes. The children were restricted to just straws and masking tape and they had to make their builds freestanding! They worked in teams of 2-3 and after drawing their creations, they put their heads together and built these amazing critter houses!

Science - Senses

In Science, we have started looking at our senses. We first looked at our bodies and tried to match up some of those parts with the 5 senses. We realised that whilst lots of people have the same organs and body parts, that doesn't make all of our bodies the same. We drew around each other to show that even though we are all mammals, our bodies can be different.

Whale Facts - Adjectives

Throughout Autumn 1, we have been looking at adjectives and how we can use them in our writing. For a homework, Year 1 had to write some facts about whales that linked to our 'Storm Whale' book. Have a look at some of our amazing writing!
