The children in Year 1 enjoyed a fantastic trip to the Brampton Museum where they enjoyed a themed day helping William to look for his toy soldiers who were lost. They designed and built new toys for him in the “kitchen” before looking at a selection of old toys in the parlour with William’s sister Amelia. The children looked for teddies in the old town and dressed up in old clothes before finding the missing soldiers in the cellar! There are more photos in the album. 

On a blustery Autumnal day, Year 1 headed off to the park to look at what had happened to the trees! Some of the leaves were missing! We found red leaves, orange leaves, yellow leaves and green leaves. Some were big and some were small. We had great fun trying to find the BIGGEST leaf. More photos are in the photo album

During Art week, the children learned to draw in the style of Lowry. We learnt to look at what is in the background and foreground; the different dark and light tones in the picture and how to hold a pencil to achieve different shades of colour. We took inspiration from St Mark’s church… have a look at some of our final pieces!

For DT Week, Year 1 made fruit Kebabs. During the week, they tasted different fruits to see which ones they liked; investigated the class favourite fruit, which was watermelon and discussed how to be safe when using knives. We tried cutting, grating and peeling pieces of fruit.

After designing their kebab, they had to cut each piece of fruit and slide it onto the kebab stick. This was sometimes tricky because the fruit was very slippery! Finally, they got to taste and evaluate their products - they were extremely tasty, and the children would love to make them again! There are more photos in the photo album.

These are pictures from our “WOW” where we played with old and new toys to start off our History topic “Why are our toys more fun to play with than Grandpas toys?”. We all had an enjoyable and fun afternoon looking at how the toys worked.
