Welcome to Year 1
Autumn 1
Enchanted Woodland
Walk to the woods
We had a wonderful time on our walk around Ash village and into the woods today. We were noticing lots of features of Ash such as shops, parks and houses.
At the woods we did a scavenger hunt, used chalk and crayon to make rubbing patterns and collected things ready to use for printing in our art lessons.
We used these back at school to make our own trees.
Science Day 2025
Today we enjoyed Science Day. We got to complete 4 different experiments.
We make a ball float (using a hairdryer!), we put a pin in a balloon (and it didn't pop!), we made a rainbow from skittles and finally made colours travel.
We have learnt so much about predicting and measuring and we have been inspired by science!
We have really enjoyed our first day in Year 1.
As well as seeing our friends again here are some of the things we enjoyed:
finding fairies in our school meadow,
making Gruffalo crumble,
adding the Gruffalo's purple prickles in maths
using playdough to make the snake and the fox
and even making some beautiful leaf rubbing pictures in art!
We are reading The Gruffalo in English and today we made our own Gruffalo crumble!
We added: a poisonous wart, orange eyes, purple prickles, knobbly knees and of course some crumble topping!
