Science in 1B ๐Ÿปโ˜‚๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ’ง

As part of our science topic this term, understanding materials, we tested different materials to see which would be the best to keep Barnaby Bear dry. We tested wood, fabric and plastic. We decided that plastic would be the best because it was waterproof!

Art in year 1.

As part of our portrait unit of work in art we have been looking at backgrounds and the art work of Paul Klee. We used watercolour to paint our backgrounds.

Blue Peter have launched a new Book Club which we are very excited to promote in school!

Each month Blue Peter will put together a list of 6 amazing books as recommended reads. We will provide copiesย of these books, which the children can sign out and borrow. These will be stored in the main entrance of the school and can be borrowed for a maximum of 1 week.

By sharing a book review after you have read the book, the children can earn the brand โ€“new Blue Peter Book Badge, designed by Sir Quentin Blake. To earn your badge, the children will need to fill in the Book Badge Application Form which will ask them questions the book they have read. The form can be accessed from the Blue Peter website. It can be uploaded online or sent by post.
