At the seaside!

This half term our topic is 'At the seaside' and year one are so excited! We even decided to have our own seaside day to find out what it is like at the seaside.

We were able to have a lovely paddle in our paddling pool and rest our feet.

Some of us decided to become fantastic sculptures and make some fantastic sandcastles using shells they had found on the beach!

 We also had fun making our own ice creams to sale at the seaside.

Ahoy Matey!

Can you tell me what you like to do at the seaside?

Terrific Transport

We love our 'On the move' topic!




In our science lessons, we have been investigating which material is best for making model planes. We made a hypothesis (prediction) and then made our planes out of the different materials.

We chose to test paper, fabric, foil, tissue, cardboard and newspaper.We measured how far each plane travelled and made sure we started from the same place every time so that it was fair.

We got lots of different answers but most groups found out that paper or card were the best materials for making a plane!







We also LOVE playing in our fantastic garage roleplay area.
We practice cleaning the cars and have lots of tools to fix them.

 

  We were interested in finding out what is under the bonnet of a real car so we went to explore Mrs McDonald's car!

1W's Garage

1W have really been enjoying their new garage. We have even made our own tools and cars.

Our dark cave!

1M have turned their role play area into a cave!

 

We love our cave. There are minibeasts, glow in the dark stars, torches to see in the dark AND we can make cave pictures on the walls with chalk!

 

 

Do you like the 1M cave?

 

What else could we put in there? Share your ideas below...
