Thank you to everyone who joined us on Tuesday for our Celebration of Learning. I hope you are as proud as we are of how well the children spoke about their learning and the wonderful work they have produced this term.

Yorkshire Air Museum
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.

Beautiful Work✨
A big WELL DONE to Henry, Amelia, Ariana, Rishaa, Georgia and Vinnie! They worked so hard to create beautifully presented letters to send around the world as part of our final product.
Viking Longship Sculpture Work
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!
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!
Volcano experiment
In 3B, we have been learning all about the parts of a volcano and how they have been formed. The class were very excited to have a go at creating their own mini volcanoes using sourdough to erupt. We then used dyed sourdough to place over the erupted “lava” replicate the building of layers of solidified lava (igneous rock) over time after each eruption.

Creating Timelines
As part of our learning last week, we have been learning all about Amelia Earhart and the world of aviation. We looked at how flying came to be. Beginning with Leonardo Di Vinci’s “Flying Machine”. We explored how fast technological developments have been made. We made our own timeline for our display which shows when we were born up to the present day. We will keep adding to this as we go along!

International Jet Setters!
When we arrived into school a mysterious suitcase had been left in our classroom. It had different items inside to show us where this person was going. But then we found a letter and a book inside; from Emma-Jane! Who our story is about! We then read her story and she visited some of the big landmarks around the globe.
We then designed our own post cards to show the place we most wanted to visit!
