Class update from Friday 17^th April 2026:

Space travel is the new topic in Year 1 and the children have already begun their exciting journey learning about space exploration. As a starter, they were asked, “How did we know about space before space travel?” The children looked at images of telescopes and learned that Galileo was able to look at the night sky through a telescope. Without travelling in space, Galileo discovered that the moon was not a flat surface but covered with craters and mountains.

The focus book in English lessons is ‘Look Up’ by Nathan Byron which links nicely to our new space topic. This week, the children wrote a description of the main character, Rocket, using all the space clues in the illustration of her bedroom.

In preparation for the sports day, the focus in outdoor PE is athletics. On Wednesday, the children impressed Mrs Corlett with their first attempts at practising throwing a foam javelin.

The science topic this term is plants and growing. Lessons have started with the children learning about the structure of a plant and the function of the different parts of a plant. The children also looked closely at flowering plants and created collage diagrams of a flower which they labelled. The Year 1 trip this term is to Wisley Gardens on Wednesday 1^st July and provides an enriching experience for our science topic.
