Week 3 in Year 1

 Hello Year One Families

We have had another busy week here in Y1.

Forest School was absolutely fantastic today. The children had a great time pond dipping with Mrs Surtees. You would not believe how many newts are in the pond! The children also made seed bombs with Ms Dainton too. 

In maths we are working really hard to recite numbers in 2s, 5s and 10s. Keep practicing at home!

The children are really enjoying learning about the history of the school. This week they made a timeline of events. We are looking forward to welcoming some special visitors in a couple of weeks time.

We are going to be entering a competition and we need your help! We’d like you to make your own Biome in a box and write a letter to go with your biome to explain why it needs to be protected. For example you might build a rainforest or an underwater scene.  What is a Biome? A biome is a geographical region containing various ecosystems. Crafting a biome in a box allows pupils to delve into the complex ecosystems found in forests, freshwater environments, marine settings, grasslands, tundras, or deserts. Building your biome box It's time to get creative with your Biome Box using various eco-friendly and easily accessible materials. Pupils should be encouraged to look for items around their house and at school that can be repurposed, such as cardboard, paper, and plastic bottles and incorporate natural elements such as twigs, leaves, stones, and soil.  Let the imagination run wild as you transform these simple materials into vibrant landscapes bursting with life. Whether you're crafting lush rainforests, arid deserts, or icy tundras, the possibilities are endless, mirroring the diversity of the natural world. Please submit pupil letters alongside entries to ZooLab's Climate Crusader team explaining why they have chosen their biome and why protecting it for the planet is essential. We have no maximum size requirement on the Biome Builders entry, however we do ask that it is at a minimum the size of a cereal box.  Please bring your Biome’s in a box to school by Friday 17th May
