This year Hadrian’s Wall is celebrating its 1900th anniversary. Years 1 to 6 took part in online workshops delivered by Tyne and Wear Museums as part of their ‘Virtual Hadrian’s Wall Day’.
We are working on a very exciting project in school. We have all been learning about Hadrian’s Wall and every child has made their own ‘fact brick’. We look forward to sharing the finished project with you soon!
Here are some pictures of our bricks. Can you guess what we are building?
We had a lovely morning in year 1 with a visit from Little Rescuers.
We learnt some life-saving skills of first aid, taught in a fun and engaging way, through games, music and teamwork.
We know how to call 999 if we need help and how to put someone in a recovery position. Check out our photos to see us in action!
Spring is on its way and to a keen observer, the earliest signs of the changing seasons are everywhere. Many of us love to watch nature waking after winter.
Spring is a busy time for trees, they are ready to burst into leaves when there’s enough sunlight.
As our season is changing from Winter to Spring, we have been learning about the signs of Spring.
This week we went for a walk around out school grounds to see if we could find any of the signs of Spring.
We saw buds on the trees, bees and butterflies, daffodils blooming and daisies growing.
We saw our first sign of a bumblebees and butterflies, Spring is definitely on its way!
The children from reception to year 6 love lunchtime club. Have a look at our photos and see what we have been up to this half term.
Wow ! I think you can tell that we love reading in year 1!
Can you spot who we all are?
This month we were very excited to be able to celebrate our Reader’s of the month on World Book Day! The children have been chosen because of their fantastic achievements in Reading at school and at home.
Well done everyone, we are so proud of you!

Good morning year 1,
Here is your home learning for today.
English
This week we have been looking at the Lighthouse Keepers lunch.
Today, we want you to listen to the story on the video again and share the story with someone in your house.
Your main job is to then add capital letters and full stops to the sentences below. On some paper, write the sentences out and then correct them.
Maths:
This week in maths we have been comparing numbers.
Watch the following video and then complete the worksheet. You can write the number sentences on some paper if you cannot print the sheet. As an extra challenge, see if you can write your own more than less than number sentences.
Phonics:
In year 1 we work really hard on our phonics and using sounds to help us to read and write. Sometimes there are just some ‘tricky’ words that you can’t use your sounds to help you.
Your job is to write the following words 3 times and then try and use them in a sentence.
Your 3 tricky words-
You
because
what
example sentence – you are amazing.
Science
In science, we have been looking at materials. We have looked closely at a range of objects and why a particular material has been chosen . Your task is to find an object in your house and draw a picture of it.
Under your drawing, tell me: What it is? What it is made from? Why is it made out of that material?
Please send any work into the the year 1 email – [email protected]
Thank you,
The Year 1 team x
This half term we have been learning about the toys Victorian children would play with, the materials they were made from. We compared these with our favourite toys and looked at the materials they are made from.
As part of our topic we visited the Discovery Museum in Newcastle, we were very excited!
Once we arrived we had a lesson with Amy. She had lots of old toys hidden and we guessed what we though they were… a train, a porcelain doll, tea set and a dog-bear (was it a dog or a bear, we weren’t sure either!)
Then we had time to explore the museum and lunch!
We had a fantastic time!
Meet our ‘Readers of the Month’ for January. The children have been chosen for their amazing efforts with reading in school. Reading is such an important part of our curriculum and we know the children love reading, sharing books and celebrating their achievements. We are so proud of you all!
