Autumn 1

This half term our Topic is 'Super Me'. 

What we've been learning in Year 1!

In Science we have been looking at our amazing bodies and labelling the parts.

In PSHE we have started talking about the different everyday feelings we have and what that looks like on our faces and in our bodies.  

In Computing we have been exploring all the important buttons on the keypad before we hit the IT suite later this week and next!

What fun and lovely weather we've had for Forest School adventures...

In PE, we have been developing our throwing and catching skills. This activity involved us catching the bean bag 5 times and then running to the cone and back. This helped our hand eye coordination, our speed, our throwing and catching and our team work.

We then challenged ourselves to throwing and catching at different levels and at a further distance apart. 

We cooled down with a balancing activity.

We have been using the outdoor area to enhance our learning in Science and PE.

We played Twister, which helped us think about the different parts of the body and it helped us to use our 'left' and 'right'.

We built a desk for an optician, after looking at the sense of 'sight' and learnt that opticians care for our eyes. 

We also used our throwing skills, practised in PE lessons, to throw beanbags into hoops. We then used the crates, cones and bricks to improve balance and co-ordination. This was a fun obstacle course.
