We have had a very exciting Spring half-term in Year 1; filled with visitors and learning.

We started off with a visit from History Off the Page. The New Hall was turned into 1666 London and the children got to experience life round the time of the Great Fire of London. There were lots of activities to do such as; bread making, weaving, sewing, candle making and much more! There was smoke, stories, chanting and lots of exploration of life in London. The children even got a chance to see a mask that Plague Doctors used to wear when they would do house calls.

We have also been learning about plants and have conducted many experiments in the classroom. We grew our own cress plants but treated them in different ways – some we gave sunlight and water, and some we gave just sunlight. We concluded that plants need sunlight and water to germinate and produce healthy plants.

In between this, we have also celebrated World Book Day and enjoyed producing work, based the books from Katie Morag.
