Expert Visitor

3rd July 2025Abigale Crawford

This week KS1 had a very special guest come to visit us. Captain Adrian Bagnall is a retired Pilot with more than 3 decades of experience flying all over the world with British Airways. He talked about his journey to becoming a pilot and some of his experiences. He showed us lots of photographs and videos from his time of being a pilot. The children asked some fantastic questions which really showcased how much they have learned and enjoyed our current expedition.

Yorkshire Air Museum

3rd July 2025Abigale Crawford

Today we visited the Yorkshire Air Museum in Elvington! We had learned a lot about the early advances of flight and we impressed our guides with our previous knowledge! We learned about some local Yorkshire heroes in the aviation industry such as Amy Johnson (our very own Amelia Earhart) and Sir George Cayley. We have seen and sat on some very cool planes.

BLAST OFF!

25th June 2025Abigale Crawford

Last week Year 1 were challenged by NASA to design and create a rocket protype that could be blasted off into space. Of course, we had to test out our rockets. We filled them with fuel and pumped them with air to see how high they would go! We had lots of fun!

Viking Longship Sculpture Work

12th June 2025Kathleen Cunningham

In Year 1 this week, as part of our case study of The Vikings, we learnt that a sculpture is a 3D piece of artwork, that could be made of anything! We took this knowledge and had a go at making our own Viking longships… out of pasta and marshmallows! As tempting as it was to eat the yummy marshmallows, we resisted and used them as glue for our spaghetti structures. Once we figured out the shape, we had the difficult challenge of working out how to make them 3D. We were resilient and used our problem solving skills to recognise that more spaghetti in one place made it stronger, and we got very creative with our dragon heads for the front of the ships!

1CU are Viking Warriors!

12th June 2025Kathleen Cunningham

During our English Hook lesson this week, Year 1 got to experience what it would be like to be a viking warrior. In our writing, we are exploring a character description of a young Viking boy named Erik, who dreams of one day being a Viking explorer and warrior.

To get into Erik’s shoes, we had a go at archery to see how the fierce Vikings fought! We had the best time and all really tried hard, even when we found it tricky. We can’t wait to have another go!

KS1 Pride of Plover

8th June 2025Mr Pickering

Well done to our host of Pride of Plover winners this week. There was a clear theme of growing independence and determination to improve. It was brilliant to hear how you all showed different examples of the Plover Pledge to make sure that your work was always the best it could be. Well done!
