Wonderful Woodlands in 1C

Today’s expedition lesson was all about the woodland habitat. Year 1 were learning about the different layers of the woodland and what kinds of animals live there! They then created their own artwork using natural resources to demonstrate the learning. See if you can spot the picture of the fox made from sticks and leaves!

Somebody Swallowed Stanley!

This morning we introduced our new class text which is “Somebody Swallowed Stanley”. We revealed the front cover to the children and we made inferences about it. E.g. where do they think the story was set? They used their knowledge of animals to decipher that it must have been under the sea as he is surrounded by animals with gills! We also thought about what Stanley might be thinking and feeling. The children used the front cover to look for clues to prove their thinking. We then made jellyfish to decorate our classroom with a to represent the jellyfish in the story.

KS1 Deep Trip

As part of our Spring Term expedition, The Blue Planet: How will what I do today impact tomorrow?’, we would like to take the opportunity to take our KS1 children to complete fieldwork at The Deep in Hull. The visit will be a full day where the children can see the spectacular aquariums with over 3500 fish and other marine life.

We will also be participating in a Save Our Seas workshop, which will help us answer our guiding question – How will what I do today impact tomorrow?

To keep costs as low as possible the trip will be split across two days, 13th and 14th March.

1C, 2L and a group from 12K will visit on the 13th March 2024.

1M, 2P and a group from 12K will visit on the 14th March 2024.
