Year 1 Sea Shanties

Year 1 have been enjoying their theme 'Batten Down the Hatches' this half-term. We had a smuggler drama workshop and learnt about what life as a smuggler was like in the 18th Century. Some of the children dressed up as 'Gobblers' who were the Customs Officers and they tried to catch the rest of us smugglers. After we had experienced life as a smuggler and found out about the famous smuggler Isaac Gulliver, we wrote a recount about our experiences.

Miss Collis in the garden

How can we persuade her not to do this Year 1?

Miss Collis had a problem for Year 1 this week with bees in the school garden. She sent the children a short film and decided to put up 'traps' to get rid of all the bees!

First the children researched bee facts to become bee experts and then decided if they agreed with Miss Collis or not. It was a resounding NO and the children thought about ways to convince Miss Collis. Then they wrote some persuasive writing, using features such as strong words and reasons to back up their argument.

We were very impressed with their persuasive posters and invited Miss Collis in to read them and hear the children's ideas. Their ideas were so persuasive that Miss Collis changed her mind and won't be putting up bee traps any time soon. In fact, next week the Year 1 children will be making wildflower seed bombs to encourage bees to visit.

We have been busy bees in Year 1 this week!

Here are some lovely examples of Year 1 field work. They had to use a basic grid reference of the school grounds, thinking about suitable places and potential hazardous environments to build a hedgehog home.

Year 1 Virtual Toy Museum Year 1 took us back in time to the Toy Museum where they explored toys thorough the ages and made some examples of their own. During the making of this video children worked in class bubbles and continue to keep themselves covid safe by following the rules and washing their hands after touching equipment and resources. We hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane.

In Year 1 it has been an exciting week! On Monday we received a letter from someone called Max and a map. We watched some security footage and saw this mysterious character in the school grounds over the weekend, getting up to all sorts of mischief.

We wrote our own police incident forms, remembering to use verbs in the past tense, for the antics Max had been up to.

Then we made our own maps, using symbols in a key.

We will keep you posted if we hear anymore from Max!
