Quarter 1

Welcome to Year 1!

The children have been very busy for the past few weeks and have settled into Year 1 brilliantly!

Our topic this quarter is ‘All About Me’ and we have been learning to name and label parts of the body. As part of this, we drew around each other in the playground and then identified parts of the body using our chalk markings. We drew timelines of our own lives and looked at how we change as we grow too.

We were also lucky enough to have Rachel and her Science machine come to see us. She asked the children if they could help her to fix her science machine by giving it lots of scientific information. They also thought about their senses and used them in different ways. The children compared humans to other animals and described the structure of a variety of animals. At the end of the session the children were able to give the special machine lots of facts to make it work again!
