Goldilocks visits Class 1!

Class 1 had a surprise when they got back from assembly – the police had cordoned off part of our classroom! Class 1 quickly spotted that there were three bowls of porridge, three chairs, a curl of blonde hair, a rag doll in a baby bed and a yellow dress. They quickly realised that Goldilocks must have been in the class! They completed a crime report by writing a list of the evidence that they had found.

Portrait workshop at the Shrewsbury Museum

Class 1 went to Shrewsbury museum to complete a portrait workshop. This supported their learning about the three queens in History and their portrait unit in Art.

In the learning room, we learnt how to paint a self-portrait. The results were fantastic!

We also completed a tour of the museum to look at portraits. We found that portraits often have secret clues in them to tell us about the lives of the person in the portrait.

We also enjoyed exploring the museum before having a well earned play in the Quarry.

Year 1 Science – Exploring fruit and vegetables

In Science, we learnt that fruits and vegetables are plants that we eat. We learnt that when we eat vegetables, we are eating part of the plant – the leaves, the stem, the root and the flowers. We learnt that the fruit contains the seed.

We then learnt how to cut fruit for our D&T and enjoyed tasting it at the end!
