Spring 2025 - Once Upon a Time

Year 1 Wellbeing Week Activities

 Year One had a fantastic time when taking part in the different theme activities during Mental Health and Wellbeing week. They showed great enthusiasm when making their castles using a range of junk modelling resources. Throughout the activity the children showed great creative skills and were very proud of the finished castles.

During the afternoon we went outside to take part in a jousting session. Great fun was had by all the children as they took on the role of the knights. 

The children also took part in Forest School, Yoga as well as the 'Know Yourself, Grow Yourself' art activity.

English WOW words

 We have all been working very hard to find out about wow words (adjectives). The children chose objects and used wow words to describe them. In the hall the children were really keen to sort the objects into sets using different wow words. Following on from this activity, the children worked with a partner to describe the new character in our story using wow words in sentences. 

#SLIDESHOW_{2807}

What an exciting afternoon! The children showed great enthusiasm when learning how to use the mouthpieces to go with the PBuzz instruments. We all learnt how to make a 'buzz' sound like a bee and then learnt a song about a duck who went 'quack, quack, quack'! It was very exciting using the mouthpieces and made everyone smile! Next week we will be exploring the Pbuzz instruments. 

Happy New Year!

This term we will be finding out about life in the past and will research how castles came to England. The children will learn about Motte and Bailey castles, how to attack and defend castles as well as investigating how and why castles changed. In Art and DT the children will be looking at patterns and symbols and will design and make their own shields. We will be learning some medieval dances and will listen and respond to music and songs from the past. It will be a very busy and exciting term!
