Year 1

Geography- Map Skills

We had a fabulous day learning more about compass directions and using maps.

Science- Making reptile skin

We learnt that reptile skin is scaly but dry and sometimes hard. It can be smooth but also can be rough.

Science- Making Birds Nests

For Science week, we made birds nests to see how they are constructed. We realised that birds must be very skilled as it was very tricky!

Reading with our Year 4 Buddies

We continue to read our buddies in year 4. We love sharing our stories with them.

Maths-Using a human tens frame to learn about subtraction

In Maths, we have been learning about subtraction using a human tens frame and passengers on a bus.

Science-Animals-Fish

In Science, we learnt about fish, in particular parts of a fish and how it differs to other animals. We made our own 3D fish.

As part of our learning about amphibians, we made webbed feet to learn about how important they are for swimming. We tested our webbed feet in water compared to no webbed feet and noticed how the water is forced back more with the webbed feet.

World Book Day 2026

Science- Learning about Animals-Birds

We learnt all about birds and how they use their beaks to build a nest. We made our our beaks and tested how easy or difficult it was to collect items. We then made our own nests.
