Natural History Museum

On Monday we're going to the Natural History Museum. Where we're going to become scientific explorers doing lots of activities in the museum that encourage scientific enquiry and observation.

We will use our imagination and sense of adventure to explore the museum and learn lots about animals that live beneath our feet.

What are you most looking forward to seeing and learning about?

Superworm saves the day

We have been creating our own super hero worms in English this week. Superworm has come to the rescue and saved the other worms from the terrifying Badger.  

We designed our own Superworms and then made them into puppets. We used our puppets to act out our own superhero story. Stay tuned to see our stories on our Superworm comic strips next week.

What would your Superworm do?

Learning from the past

Today Year 1 thought about the past and the present day. We discussed how the London Underground has changed since 1863. 

Have a look at past pictures of the London Underground...

Compare these pictures with the underground today. 

What is the same, what is different?

School Dinners

Movement Mark Making

On Thursday afternoons in Year 1 we have started to do fine art with Ms Reid. This week we did movement mark making.

Using our observation skills to mark make

What do you think the inspiration behind our mark making was?

Self Assessment

We love reflecting on our learning in year 1. As part of our whole school assessment project we have been thinking a lot about how we learn.  We often self assess our learning. Here is one child's self assessment on what they enjoyed doing in their problem solving maths lesson today.

Can you think of a time when you didn't give up? 

What problem did you solve?

London Underground Map

Did you know the current London underground tube map was first designed by Henry Beck in 1931? 

The current London tube map

We looked at the current tube map when we
visited Brixton underground station.

It shows the relative positions of all the underground stations

In Year 1 this week we had a go at designing our own London Underground Maps. 

After we had designed our own maps we thought of questions that
we still had about the London underground. 

What do you think of this child's map design?

Brixton Station

Yesterday as part of our topic on what is beneath our feet we visited Brixton tube station. We learnt all about the London tube system that runs beneath our feet. It was great to interview Dave who works at the station and asked him all about the London underground.

 What question did you ask?

What was the answer?
