How are we in the penultimate week of Spring Term? Where has this term, and year, gone?

This week, the children in Year 1 have been incredible, they sparkled on our school trip to the Maritime Museum, demonstrating exemplary behaviour throughout. The staff and the museum went out of their way to commend their impeccable behaviour. Well done, Year 1.

The school trip was certainly the highlight of the week and we loved exploring the museum in great detail, learning first, about the history of Liverpool Docks, before learning about the role of not only the city, but the people, in the creation and building of the world famous, Titanic. Using the story, ‘Polar the Titanic Bear’ written by Daisy Corning Stone Spedden, a survivor, we were able to go back in time and imagine, with props, what it would be like to be on the Titanic before it sank, as well as learning interesting facts that even Miss Jones didn’t know! It was a truly wonderful experience, one we will all treasure forever.

In Maths, we continued with our topic on ‘measurement’ focusing on weight, mass and volume. Through a series of practical activities, we were able to understand the vocabulary ‘heavier’ and ‘lighter’. After, we measured items using non-standard unit of measurements and compared them using our previous learnt vocabulary. Next week, we will continue to explore this topic with a focus on measuring volume in more detail using practical activities to support us.

We continued with our Art topic, Animal Art, and focused on developing our own patterns inspired by other cultures and counties. We took time to carefully decorate elephants using Indian inspired patterns.

For Science, we investigated the 5 main animal categories, excluding insects, learning about their characteristics before grouping animals accordingly.
