1S have had a jammed packed 6 weeks full of new learning and fun activities.

During National Simultaneous Reading Time, Year 1 and their buddies got together at 12:00PM to read this years book, ‘The Truck Cat’ by Deborah Frenkel. First we had to read the story then we summarised the important parts of the story and wrote the summary on a truck.

Last week we enjoyed visiting the Church and sharing our learning with our parents during Faith and Learning. When our family members came to visit we got to write and draw about the animal we were studying: the cute and clever meerkat!

In Science this week, we have been putting our learning into practice by planning and making a toy. The design brief required that it be pushed or pulled (or both) to play with, and the materials had to be chosen according to their properties. Here are some photos of our lessons.
