In science this half term we are learning all about materials. We know that objects are made from materials and that some materials are strong and some can break, some are flexible and some are rigid.
We went on a hunt around our area looking for different materials, our challenge was to find objects made out of wood, plastic, metal and glass. We found lots!
​We looked closely at the objects and discussed why we thought they were made from that material, we thought about why other materials could not be used.
We all agreed wooden windows would not be useful!

Welcome to the new Class One! 
We are all brand new to year one but are settling in so well. We have done so much already during our first week. We have been exploring our new classroom and having fun accessing the areas. We have been sorting, counting, painting, writing and much more!
Watch us continue to grow through the year, we can't wait to fill our brains with new and exciting things as we move through Class One.

We had the best day today visiting Mapplewell Meadows to meet Deborah who we had written letters to earlier in the term! This is where the bog baby during early Spring and we went to see if it was settling in well there. We walked 1.9 miles each way with our little legs, enjoyed a well deserved ice-pop and then ventured down to the pond and planted bluebells for the Bog Baby to enjoy next year. We looked at the other creatures and wildlife sharing the habitat and even think that we saw a Bog Baby hidding in the water which was very exciting!
We can't wait to go back with our grown ups and sample the amazing cakes at the view cafe.
​Thank you for having us Deborah!

The children of class one proved how amazing sewers they are, they really are fabulous!
The children carefully designed a pouch and created it sewing around the edge using running stitch.
Take a look at some of our fantastic designs.

We were so excited to experience our first trip in class one, we travelled to Halifax by coach and visited Eureka.
As part of our science and PHSCE topic 'me and my body' we have been learning all about ourselves and got to experience this hands on at Eureka!
We took part in a 'gross lab' lead by a grosologist and learnt all about scabs, bood, snot and sick. It was alot of fun!
We learnt so much and had lots of fun in the process.
​Take a look at our blog posts we wrote all about it!
