Welcome to Y1C!

Merry Christmas from Y1C!
Our Trip to Gibside
We had a wonderful festive time on our trip to Gibside. We embarked on a magical Christmas trail, with a different activity at each stop.
Firework Art
We celebrated Bonfire night by creating beautiful firework pictures using chalk.
Halloween Party
Today we dressed up in our spookiest costumes and enjoyed a fantastic Halloween party! We played party games and danced with our friends.
Buzz and Woody
Buzz and Woody are our Year 1 Guinea Pigs. We love to help to look after them and give them cuddles!
PE- Tennis
This half term we are very lucky because Jonathon the tennis coach is going to teach us how to play tennis.
Maths - Place Value
We have been exploring Place Palue using Base 10 equipment and Numicon.
Fun in the Sun
We made the most of a sunny October day by taking our PE lesson with Mrs B outside. Look at the fun we had!
Geography
We created simple ariel view maps of our classroom and our route to school.
PE - Hula Hooping
Only One You
The children have loved reading 'Only One You' by Linda Kranz together as a class. It is a beautiful book with a very important message- there is only one you in the world, try and make it a better place! The story also celebrates diversity and promotes self esteem. We made wonderful paper plate fish just like the ones in the book. Each fish was amazing and unique, just like us.
Self Portraits
We used mirrors to help us think about our facial features and carefully used pencil to create our self portraits.
Art
We looked at 'Sunflowers' By Van Gogh and created some of our own beautiful flowers using pastels.
Planting Sunflower Seeds- Science
Y1C spent a beautiful sunny afternoon planting our own sunflower seeds. We wrote instructions to help us thinking about all of the important steps. We have also been learning about what plants need to grow and survive and the life cycle of a plant.
