Year one are learning all about seasonal changes as part of our science and geography work. We have already learnt the different types of weather and are tracking the weather each day this week.

This helped us create a piece of art using finger painting.

Year 1: Mystery Objects , by Miss Jones

Year 1 had an unexpected surprise today. When the children returned from playtime, they discovered a mysterious cloth covering several different objects. There was a note that read:

The objects included: a suitcase, an umbrella, a torch, a penguin book and teddy, a lost poster and a boat!
The children used the objects to make predictions about our new book, which we later discovered is called Lost and Found. I was very impressed with the children’s excellent speaking and listening skills as well as super predictions.
We can’t wait to read more of our new book ...
