Year 1 History off the page
Year 1 learnt all about old toys during our exciting History off the Page workshop. We got to play with a range of old toys, such as toys made from tin, wood and even homemade toys. We then became archaeologists and discovered long lost toys and sorted them. Finally, we learnt how to make our own toys to take home.

Maths week
As part of Maths week, Year 1 had the opportunity to put their reasoning skills and shape knowledge to the test and create different pictures using a wide range of 2-D shapes. This required excellent teamwork and Year 1 had lots of fun trying to make the different shapes.
December
Year 1 explored the world under the sea and wrote fantastic poems, letters and descriptions based on the book, Flotsam.
October
As part of our Geography topic, Year 1 went on a trip to the local park to learn about maps. We had a map of the park, but some of the symbols were missing. We walked around the park to see which symbols we needed to add to our maps, and drew the symbols on.
Year 1 learnt a traditional story and about different foods that can be found in other parts of the world, such as coconuts from the Caribbean.

Year 1 making fruit salads!
As part of our Design Technology topic, 1A and 1F created different fruit salads. The children had previously talked about what makes a good fruit salad and had draw their own designs. The children selected their fruit and carefully cut it and placed it in their cups. Afterwards the children got to try them and say what was good about them and how they would improve them next time.

Museum Docklands
Year 1 went on a fantastic trip to the Museum of Docklands. To get there, we went on the cable cars across the River Thames which was so much fun! At the museum, we learnt all about the docklands area and where things come from in the world – such as tea, spices, chocolate and coffee. We also found out that the museum used to be a warehouse and what the area was like in the past. What a great day!
