Category: Year 1

Year One have had a great time today visiting Egremont library.  We shared a couple of books together then chose books we thought we may like to read ourselves to take home.

We have been looking at the story of the Last Supper this week. We heard the story from the Bible and then acted out the scene. 

Year 1 thoroughly enjoyed today learning about star constellations. We thought about how we would have to move if we walked on the moon and what we could see looking out into the stars.  We then made some tornados in a bottle as our topic is ‘Weather’. We have had a great time today and hopefully…

Year One had a great time dressing up today for World Book Day. We shared our favourite books with our friends and designed a new front cover for our book Man on the Moon.

Today we received our ashes as a sign of the start of Lent.  Here’s hoping we can all keep the lentern promises we have made.

We have been learning the meaning behind Shrove Tuesday and have discovered that we say sorry to God to be ‘shriven’.  We then enjoyed delicious pancakes in preparation for Lent. 

Year one sent some representatives to St Benedict’s today for a multiskills tournament.  They were very well behaved and had a great time joining in on all these games.

Year one have taken advantage of the glorious weather and taken our maths lesson outside.  We were drawing pictures that were taller or shorter and larger or smaller.  We labelled the pictures and even drew around our friends to measure.  We really enjoyed our outside lesson and hope this weather…

We have had a great time learning our story Billy’s Bucket. We have made changes to the maps and are now writing our own versions. 

We have had a great time trying our experiment into will it float? 

We got lots of items and predicted if it would float. We tested our theory and recorded the results in our books. 

We have thoroughly enjoyed making dancing dragons as part of our Chinese New Year celebration day.  We even had some time to make our dragons dance to some traditional Chinese music.

Year 1 have been hearing the story of St Bridget this week and we have tried to weave a cross.  It was quite difficult but with a little help we managed to make some stunning crosses.
