Year 1 fully enjoyed their trip to the V&A museum of Childhood. They got to look at all different toys: some their parents played with and even toys their teachers played with.

Year 1 have been busy experimenting and looking at which material would be the best to make a raincoat for our teddy! We have been learning about different materials and their properties and this week we learnt what a prediction and experiment is and then looked at the results. We tried three different materials (paper, fabric and plastic) and we found out that the best material was indeed plastic because it is waterproof.  

This week we have been looking at the text “Lima’s red hot chilli pepper’. Lima is very hungry wants to eat a range of different food and by accident eats a red hot chilli! Her family then come to the rescue to cool down her mouth.

In year 1, we have been tasting the different foods that Lima had.  We loved tasting new foods and we discussed the texture and taste of them. Both classes tried coconut, lime, samosas, jelly and pink grapefruit!

Welcome to year 1! It’s great to be back and we have been learning lots already! In our first topic we are learning about our senses.

We have had a few activities linking around this. Our first one was all about touch. We had to make sure we weren’t peeking and try and guess the object in the box by touching it. Another task we had to do was smell different cups without peeking and guess the object as well.

We loved it!
