Autumn Term Highlights from Year 1

Science

This term, we have been learning about the human body. We have learnt about the body parts and the five senses. We have been on a sound walk to think about what sounds we can hear around the school. We have learnt about the different tastes. We learnt that our eyes need light to see. We also learnt that our body is covered in skin and skin helps us feel different things.

History

We have been learning about the local area this term. We learnt what past and present mean. We spoke about how much has changed in the local area since back then.

Design and Technology

We have been looking at making smoothies this term. We looked at the different types of fruits and vegetables we could have in our smoothies. We learnt about the importance of eating a variety of fruit and vegetables to stay healthy. We also tasted smoothies and had a think about what ingredients we could taste in them. We then voted for our favourite fruits in class and created a class recipe to use. To make our smoothies, we cut up apples and bananas. We added also blueberries, yogurt, milk, oats and honey to our smoothies. We then watched Mrs Tahir use the blender to make the smoothie. It was very noisy. We had mixed opinions on the smoothie. Some of us liked it and some of us didn’t.

Message from Mrs Bahar

Overall, I am so impressed with how well Year 1 have settled into their new class and it has been so lovely to see their progress over the last few months. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a restful break. I look forward to seeing what Spring term brings!
