Our Year 1 children have been busy exploring a wide range of exciting learning opportunities this term!

In Design and Technology, the children have been learning about the importance of a healthy diet, focusing on eating five portions of fruit and vegetables each day. They applied this knowledge by designing and making their own fruit salads for a chosen user within their class. The children demonstrated great care and creativity, thinking about preferences, presentation and healthy choices.

We also had lots of fun celebrating World Book Day, with children coming to school dressed up. The children learnt about two inspirational people: Ada Lovelace and Mother Teresa. They explored how these individuals made a difference to the world and discussed the qualities that made them so special, helping the children to reflect on how they too can have a positive impact.

In Computing, the children have been developing their computing skills through Bee-Bots, learning to create clear instructions and understand simple programming commands. They explored sequencing by directing Bee-Bots to move and turn, before applying their knowledge to program them through their own mazes.

We are incredibly proud of the enthusiasm and effort shown by the children in their learning!
