Last week we started designing minibeasts! We chose which minibeast we would like to create and made a plan. We labelled the different materials we were going to use and how we were going to put it together. We then used different pieces of junk modelling to create our chosen minibeast!
As a bit of relief from the hot weather, class 1 had some fun with wet sponge balls this afternoon! The main aim was to get super soaked!
It has just started to hatch! What could it be....? Some excited faces as we try and guess what might be inside. A turtle, a dragon, a unicorn....?!

Today, we started building arrays to help us multiply! We took cones and some chalk outside, and began solving multiplication sentences. It was tricky at first, but by the end we all had 'double thumbs [...]
The Fire Brigade came to give a talk to Year 1 and 2 today. Your child should have a really good idea of what the service does and how to keep safe. Stop, drop and roll!

We saw the tiny barley crop with its roots and shoot coming from the seed. Walking across towards the farm we were rewarded with fantastic views towards Lundy overlooked [...]
We started our Science topic this afternoon - Plants! We started looking at 'wild plants' and tried to see how many we could name. We created a list of; dandelion, daisy, buttercup, clover, nettle, bramble, dog rose and ivy! We then got into pairs and searched the school grounds to see how many of our wild plants we could find! [...]

We were very impressed by the size of the [...]
