Autumn 1
We have been exploring how to melt ice! We discussed how water freezes to make ice and then we found ways in which we could melt the ice to make water. We tried using warm water and salt - warm water works better to melt ice!
We have been exploring number bonds within 10 this week. We made up our own number stories using first, then and now. We represented our stories using counting objects and ten frames.
Music
We have been using the chime bars.
We have enjoyed an Autumn walk this afternoon. We went on a Scavenger hunt around the school grounds to spot signs of Autumn. We saw leaves that had fallen off the trees and they had changed colour too.
We have been inspired by the artist, Kandinsky this week. We discussed abstract art and thought about how we could portray our feelings through warm and cool colours.
We’ve been busy recreating London landmarks out of Lego! We know that London is the capital city of England and have loved looking at famous landmarks in the capital city.
We have been busy writing post cards to our pen pals in different parts of the United Kingdom - Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We have written sentence about what we love about living in Morecambe. We can’t wait for the replies!
What an amazing Judo session! We enjoyed wearing the Judo kit. All children in Class 1N showed amazing listening. We learnt that hajime means go or begin and mate means stop. We all practised Judo moves. In pairs, we tried to stay on our backs for 20 seconds whilst our partner tried to turn us over.
We have an amazing first Computing session today. The children logged themselves on with our class username and password. They then controlled their mouse to drag and click - well done, Year One!
Weather reports
We have been focussing on the 4 seasons of the year and how the weather may be different in different seasons. We took on the role of a weather reporter, take a listen to our weather reports!

We met Jigsaw Jack today! We talked about what makes us special and feel safe.
We have had a fabulous first PE lesson. All of the children practised their hopping skills and under arm throwing skills. We used a “magic string” to pull our arm and leg back which really helped. A super effort everyone, well done!
We have had a fabulous first week in Year One! We’ve loved exploring our new classroom and our learning areas.
We are artist! We have been exploring how to mix colours using paint. Once we had got the colours we needed, we carefully used out paintbrush to paint something of our choice. All of the children used different brush strokes and had control whilst using their paintbrush. What fabulous paintings, 1N!
We have been enjoying our book of the week - The Colour Monster! We have been writing sentences about different colour monsters.
