AUTUMN 2025
What a busy term is was! We have learnt so many new things and had lots of fun in the process.
In Maths :
We started off Year 1 learning how to sort and group objects according to their shapes, size, colours and types. We really have fun when we using concrete equipment to show and explain our new knowledge.
We have grouped our objects by types:
We have grouped our objects by colour:
In Literacy:
This term we focus on writing our sentences with capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. We learnt what nouns are and how to identify them in our sentences. We wrote our own story of the 'The Little Red Hen'. We are becoming more independent in our work as the term progressed.
In Science:
We started the term by learning all about our bodies and our senses. We did different types of investigations using our senses but our favourite investigation was the Tasting lesson. We wanted to find out what foods were salty, sour, sweet and bitter. Our favourite taste was sweet! We learnt how to take our own photos on the iPad independently.
Mrs Maurel's favourite photo of the day was:
In the second half of the term, we learnt about the importance of eating healthy. We did our first STEAM lesson of Year 1. We design a picture of a creative, fun healthy snack we can make. We decided to use fruit to create our master pieces. It was a fun, sweet and sticky lesson!
The process:
The creations:
In Art:
In one of our lessons, we had to draw a pig by following some simple instructions. We created some gorgeous pigs!
In another lesson, we used some vegetables to do some simple printing to create our own pictures. What a fun and messy lesson this was!
We also learnt how to make a moveable scarecrow by using split pins. We got to decorate and colour in our scarecrows beautifully then we used our cutting skills to carefully and independently cut out each piece. Mrs Maurel helped us to make the holes for the spilt pins. We loved moving our scarecrows to create some funny poses!
Class Assembly:
We had lots of fun practising for our class Harvest assembly. Mrs Maurel was so proud of all of us for emembering all our words, songs and being brave enough to stand and say lines in front of our parents.
Visitors to our class/school:
One of our favourite days at school was when we got to dress up like rockstars. We learnt some new songs about having a positive mind set and believing in ourselves.
The Year 6s had some fun activities for us to do in the Sports Hall for our Children in Need day. We all won some prizes!
PC Lou came to visit us in our classroom to speak about how the police help people. We had lots of fun dressing up in real policeman clothes. We also had an opportunity to ask PC Lou some questions about being a police woman.
Just before Christmas, we had a special visitor pop in to see us!!
