In Science last half-term, we learnt about materials and their properties. This half-term, we are using all of this knowledge in our new topic ‘Building Things’. We talked about a class of children who went on a school trip to the rainforest who had to quickly use the things around Read more…
A big thank you to all of the parents and grandparents that attended our share lunch and learning. It was a big success and the children and adults had a great time. We started our new topic about Human Lifestyle and learnt all about the organs in our body. We Read more…
This afternoon, Juniper have been learning about what a physical change is in Science. We now know that a physical change is any change in state such as melting, boiling, condensing or freezing and that the change can be reversed. We have enjoyed seeing some of these physical changes take Read more…
Thank you to all the parents and grandparents that came to our shared lunch and learning. The children had so much fun (and I hope the adults did too). We started our first Science lesson about organs in our body. We completed a quiz about the heart, lungs, stomach, skin Read more…
This half term we are learning about keeping healthy. In Science we are learning about the different functions of the body and in Design & Technology we are learning about the healthy food plate. For our first lesson in D&T we have been looking at the different food groups: carbohydrates, Read more…
During our Science lesson, we looked at Non-Newton fluids. These are liquids that change the behaviour when a force is applied to them. We found that when we squeezed the Oobleck or tried to pull something through it, it becomes more solid. However, when it is not under pressure, it Read more…
We have been reading a story called the King who banned the dark this week. We then completed lots of activities about this story. We had to think about: The next day we used shadow puppets to retell the story. We then planned and made letters to the Read more…
This half term we have been investigating ‘Separating Mixtures’ for our science topic. This week we conducted an investigation into formulations and mixtures using orange juice and water. The children had fun measuring out the quantities they needed for their formulations. Some of us even enjoyed a taste test at Read more…
To celebrate recycling week, year 1 have been learning about what happens to our waste and why recycling is important. This linked in really well with our science topic ‘materials’ in which we have been identifying different materials by their properties. In our enquiry area, children have been using their Read more…
We used the bins to recycle all sorts of different objects today! The children discussed what each object was made out of and then put it in the correct bin.
