Year 1 and 2 Dance Lessons

In our Key Stage 1 Dance PE lessons, children explore movement, rhythm, and expression through fun and engaging dance activities. Each lesson encourages creativity as pupils learn to move to music and to copy and create simple dance sequences.

Dance helps build coordination, balance, and confidence, while also supporting teamwork and listening skills. Whether they’re pretending to be animals, exploring space, or dancing to a seasonal theme, children enjoy being active in a joyful and imaginative way.

Connecting Together

This week at Forest School was all about connection – with nature, with each other and with ourselves. We explored, collaborated, cooked delicious apple crumble outdoors, and even mastered a bit of fire lighting.🔥 It’s amazing what happens when you slow down and let the woods do the teaching. 🌿

It’s a wrap for 1C’s Forest School

What a magical final session for our amazing Year 1s!

Today, we used palm drills to make holes in conkers, creating our very own Conker Comets and Conker Caterpillars. We lit fairy fires, gathered around for the enchanting tale of The Silver Acorn, and ended the day with a cosy game of Sleeping Hedgehogs 🦔💤.

A wonderful way to wrap up a fantastic few weeks of outdoor adventures!

Well done, Year 1! 💚

Year 1 and 2 Science Autumn Walk

This week, our Year 1 and Year 2 children went on a lovely autumn walk to explore the changing season. The children collected a variety of natural objects such as colourful leaves, conkers, acorns, and twigs. They used their senses to observe the sights, sounds, and smells of autumn and talked about what they discovered. It was a fantastic way to learn about nature, practise sorting and describing objects, and enjoy the fresh air together!

Getting ready for colder months

This week, the children explored how animals get ready for the colder months, how they spend time gathering food and shelter building. The children used natural materials and clay to create their own woodland creatures, and really got stuck in with lots of enthusiasm and creativity.

We shared the story of Jack and His Magical Leaves and played our favourite game — Sleeping Hedgehog — which had everyone laughing as they tried to stay still and quiet!

The children loved searching for insects, big and small, and were full of excitement with every new discovery.

To finish off the session, we enjoyed toasted pancakes with strawberries, blueberries and a drizzle of chocolate sauce — the perfect treat after a busy day outdoors.
