In our woodland learning sessions and class lessons, we are learning to use mindfulness techniques. They help us to calm down, refocus and they help us with our mental health. In 1D we have used 3 animals to help us - a sloth, a puffer fish and a crab.
The children are so good at it I'm sure they would love to show you!

We are creating our own school newsletter this half term using the 'Pages' app on the iPads. Last week, we chose the name we wanted to call our school and decided on how the main title of the newsletter would look, thinking about colour, font, font sizing and background colour. This week, we added a photo and some information about what's happening in our school.

1C Science Materials in different forms with different properties
Date: 1st May 2024 @ 8:43pm
In this science lesson we investigated materials in different forms with different properties and discovered their different uses. We discovered that one material can take many different forms and that they can be both flexible AND rigid depending on this. We examined wood in paper form, cardboard form and as a table and we examined plastic as a spoon, a milk carton and as a raincoat. We felt them, squashed them and tested out their properties. From this, we then placed pictures of them into a Carrol diagram.

Our new RE topic is all about Creation, our favourite things that God has created.
In Lesson 1, we discussed the things that we are thankful for such as; our friends, our families, our homes, our food, our land, our animals etc. We discussed how some Christians believe that God created our world and are very thankful to him.
We then had a discussion about what WE are thankful for an what our favourite things in this world are.
In Lesson 2, we learned all about how Christians and people of the Jewish faith both believe that our world was created in the same way by God. We listened to an extract from the Old Testament and created some art to represent the creation story.
1C DT Free-standing structures
Date: 1st May 2024 @ 7:56pm
In DT this term, we are going to be looking at free-standing structures. We are going to be evaluating, planning and making our own chair for Baby Bear from Goldilocks and the Three Bears story.
Lesson 1 - we studied a variety of chairs and talked about what the name of the chair structures are; Stool, chair, high chair, directors chair, bar stool, the materials they were made from and why, their purpose and who would use them and why. We then looked at how they had been made stable;
Chair legs to give stability. The base (bottom) of the structure is usually wider than the top to help it be more stable and they aren’t normally too heavy at the top to stop them toppling over.
Lesson 2 - We explored how we could create our own free-standing structure using a variety of resources such as Lego, Kinex, paper and card, paper straws and cardboard tubes. We had to work out how we could make our structure strong and stable. We learned all about how a wide base and a butress can help support a free-standing structure, especially when it is a taller structure.
Lesson 3 - We had to make a table out of paper. We needed to use different folds and bases to enable it be free-standing, strong enough to hold a pair of scissors and stiff enough not to bend under the weight of the scissors.
