Summer Term message from Mrs Eaves:
Welcome back to school following our Easter holiday!
This half term there will be a big focus on phonics ready for the Phonics Screener Check in June. If you have any questions regarding these, please do not hesitate and come and see me.
This half term in our DT lesson the children will be learning about where our food comes from - either a plant or an animal. They will also learn how to prepare food - by either slicing, chopping or grating.
We will also be learning about mass and using balance scales, and learn about capacity and volume.
Please have a look at the fridge words linked below. These words are based on the vocabulary we are exploring within our topic and science lessons. How many of these can you learn?
Please take a look at the documents below so you know exactly what we will be learning this term.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask - I am happy to help!

DT - making our fruit salad
year1 teacher (K.Eaves) on: Year 1 Blog
In our DT lesson we selected the fruit we wanted to put into our fruit salad. Then we chopped it into small chunks, and the best bit, we got to eat it all!
Visit to the beach
year1 teacher (K.Eaves) on: Year 1 Blog
Year One visit to the beach on a chilly April day. We had lots of fun making sand castles and writing messages in the sand, just like Stanley in the story book Stanley’s Stick!
Together Tuesday
year1 teacher (K.Eaves) on: Year 1 Blog
Our parents joined us on Tuesday afternoon and we planted summer flowering bulbs and seeds. We also learnt that plants can grow from bulbs or seeds and we are very excited to watch our plants grow.
DT - Awesome vehicles
year1 teacher (K.Eaves) on: Year 1 Blog
In our DT lessons we have designed and made a moving vehicle. It had to have 4 fixed wheels, a chassis and a moving axle.
Wonderful Wednesday
year1 teacher (K.Eaves) on: Year 1 Blog
What a WONDERFUL afternoon in Year One. Our parents and carers joined us for an afternoon of Science. We used hand lenses and then microscopes to look at different things in close up detail. WOW!
