Group 1 Underwater Activities

Group 1 have had fun completing lots of underwater activities. They were enthusiastic using all the ICT enjoying underwater adventures using the interactive floor projector, osmo activities on the i pads and numeracy games on the smart board, some pupils completing times tables challenges! They also experienced underwater yoga and for literacy read the books Don’t Worry Little Crab and the Rainbow Fish. Making colourful puppets and acting out the story of Don’t Worry Little Crab the young people were good at identifying the character traits of the two crabs and comparing the story to personal experiences. During the Rainbow Fish we explored the character traits of a good friend and completed number mazes to reach the octopus. Finally we enjoyed a trip to Deep Sea World!

Group 1 Earth Day Activities

Group 1 celebrated Earth Day by taking part in lots of different activities. The Earth day theme this year was fighting plastic pollution. We got messy burying some plastic, an apple and some paper in soil, then writing down our predictions what we think will happen. We will find out in 4 weeks if our predictions came true! The book A Planet Full of Plastic was enjoyed by group 1, we read it and answered some questions before writing about what we felt the biggest problems with single use plastics were and thought of things we could do to help. We went on a litter pick in the local park and analysed the litter we collected before making and reading some graphs. We also looked at how plastic could enter the food chain. We explored the life cycle of plastic, made pictures from salt and glue and completed a scavenger hunt. We completed some recycling tasks and learned about plastic in our oceans.

Yellow Class Literacy Fortnight

Yellow Class have enjoyed lots of literacy themed activities to celebrate literacy fortnight. We walked to Blackburn library and looked for books that interested us. We learned that some books in the library are in alphabetical order by author and some use a numbering system. These helped us to find the books we wanted quicker!

Back in school we loved the World Book Day character hunt where we had to find the hidden characters all around the school.
