Year 1 Mrs Pearson/MrsMcCarrick

We had the best time reenacting the story of ‘The First Christmas’, taking part in craft activities and writing about something that has brought us joy this year at Chopwell Trinity Methodist Church.

We absolutely loved our ‘Nerf Wars’ party to celebrate how hard we have been working!! Well done year 1! You make us so proud!!

History - we borrowed a box of toys from the Discovery Museum and really enjoyed exploring each one. We talked about how we knew if it was from the ‘past’ or a ‘new’ toy. We learnt about different materials used to make toys and how they have changed over the years, as well as the electrics and mechanical parts of toys! A super topic, enjoyed by us all!

Science - in Science this half term we have been learning about the five different classifications of animals. We also learnt about what makes an animal a ‘herbivore’, a ‘carnivore’ or an ‘omnivore’. To help us consolidate our learning, we found different ‘poo’s’ in our classroom and as a team we had to decide if the animal that left the poo was a herbivore, carnivore or an omnivore by what we could see in the poo!! We found leaves, seeds, bones and insects!!!!

In English this week, we have used Bonfire Night as our Stimulus. We described everything we could see, hear, feel, smell and taste on Bonfire Night! The children particularly enjoyed the ‘taste’ day!!

Autumn 1 - Computing (using a mouse)

Our Senses Walk - In Science this half term we have been learning all about the human body and our five senses. We enjoyed drawing around our friends and labelling all the different body parts that we know. We also went on a walk around the playground and used our senses to make notes about what we could see, hear, feel and smell but decided not to use our taste sense this time!!

Local Walk - In Geography this half term, we have been learning all about where we live. We went on a walk around the village and then drew our own maps with a key.
