Year 1 Learning in Action

Week beginning 05.10.26

We had a great start to our week when we visited the Boyatt wood shops. The children were amazing geographers and asked lots of thoughtful questions about our local area. This week in drawing club we have enjoyed looking at the book "Home" by Carson Ellis. The children have loved thinking about different places that people live. We have also been learning something very exciting to prepare for our project outcome. We cannot wait to show you! 

 Week beginning 28.09.26 

This week we have enjoyed celebrating National Poetry Day. The children worked together to practise and perform the poem "Woodlice" by Simon Moss. It was wonderful to see the oracy skills of our poets put to good use in some wonderful performances. Our poets especially  enjoyed learning the signs for the poem withMrs Jones.  

Week beginning 21.09.26

We have had an amazing week. The children very much enjoyed learning about our learning value of collaboration and creating a beautiful piece of collaborative art. We are so proud of how the children have settled into routines in Year 1. In drawing club this week we have looked at the book "In every house, on every street" and the children have really shown their skills at writers. We also had an amazingly exciting visitor, Ms Bennett who used to teach at our school. She told us all about what the school used to be like and the children were fascinated! 

Week beginning 14.09.26

This week we have begun our Eastleigh Explorers project. Mr Day showed the children some old tools and a photo of our school from a long time ago. Mr Day asked us to find out more about our school's history and what Boyatt Wood was like in the past. We looked at a variety of maps and thought about their features. We also enjoyed looking at the fiction text "Martha maps it out" 

Week beginning 07.09.26

Our first full week back has been lovely. The children are settled and keen to learn. We have enjoyed drawing club, maths, science and creating self portraits in the style of Kehinde Wiley. 

We have completed our All about me project, concluding with a fantastic gallery of our self portraits. We are so excited to begin our new project next week.
