Year 1

Gardening – September 2020
The Year 1 pupils have been exploring and learning about the different types of herbs, parts of plants and care that different plants need. The children used their art skills to draw an object next to key words such as: sun, seeds, soil, stem, flower.

Planting
Our year 1 pupils have been thoroughly enjoying their outdoor learning in the beautiful sunshine while planting on the school roof playground.

Science: Plants
Year 1 went on a science learning walk to Ashburton woods during our topic about Plants. Children had the opportunity to have a close look at different types of leaves and raise questions about them. Also we explored other plant parts in our lessons.

Work Week: Emergency Services
During Work Week in our PSHE lessons we were learning about the Emergency Services. We visited the local fire station to discover more about the job of Firefighters. Also we had a visit from the local police officer and he shared information about what the job involves and what they do.

For our Geography topic, learning about our local area, Year 1 went on a local walk using a map and directional language to explore.
