World Book Day
Walking into Class 1 today was like entering a magical world of book characters. Everyone enjoyed showing off their costumes and sharing their chosen book characters and story books with their class friends.
In Science Year 1's learned about the different parts of a plant. They planted seeds and over the next few weeks will be watching for growth and identifying the different parts in a seed diary.

Class one had a special delivery of penguins from Antarctica! We made sure our classroom was suitable for them by adding ice, snow, fish to eat and because penguins like to slide on their tummies we made them slides out of Duplo.
Science
We enjoyed making windsocks and testing them to see the direction of the wind.
Class 1 had great fun making masks.
