Autumn Term

We have now fully settled into Year One and have been doing lots of exciting things during the Autumn term.


In October we went outside and made dens as part of our materials topic for science. We used different materials, such as the fallen leaves and sticks, fabric, plastic and even tin foil! After building the dens we tested them to see which material was the strongest, safest and most waterproof . Which material do you think made the best den?


During Book Week we read the story 'Room on the Broom' and took part in lots of exciting activities, including a fantastic drama workshop. We had fun pretending to be the characters from the story.


This half term we have been looking at light and dark. Each class has a dark den where we can explore different light sources. . We even made reflective reindeer belts for Rudolph by choosing the shiniest materials.
