As this academic year is nearly over we have been thinking about what we have enjoyed doing in Year 1. We have been discussing what our favourite parts have been and what we would like to do as we move on to Year 2.
In Autumn term we went to Sutton Park. We fed the ducks and went hunting for sticks. It was so much fun but really hard work!
We observed changes in the seasons and as it became winter we started to explore cold places in our world. We made a penguin display and wrote poems about penguins.
In Spring our topic changed again and we learnt all about different animals. We went on a trip to Twycross Zoo. We touched lots of different animals including a hissing cockroach and a turtle. We saw some bigger animals too, including lots of different kinds of monkeys, giraffes, elephants and even a leopard.
We made sandwiches for a tea party with the Queen. The tea party was so much fun, it was a shame the Queen was too busy to come!
Our parents came in to help us discover all about volume and capacity.
We have really enjoyed doing art in Year 1. Especially, Gruffalo puppets, paper fish and carnival masks.
We were also lucky enough to be part of the Bookshare project. We received 10 free books throughout the year and we went to a special celebration at Heartlands Academy.
Mrs Webster and Mrs Ali hope you all have a lovely summer holidays and can’t wait to hear all about it in September.
