Year One had a fantastic morning working with our ‘Little Makers’ visitors from the Black Country Living Museum. We thought about all of the structures and buildings we saw at the museum and then worked together to build our very own structures. We learned all about strong materials and how to make secure fixings. We used some bellows to test whether our houses were strong or not.

Year One were very lucky to meet some of the firefighters from Fallings Park. They showed us around their fire engine, and we even had the chance to sit in the firefighters’ seats! They also demonstrated some of the tools they use when fighting fires and rescuing people. In class, we learned about the important role firefighters play within our community and the special protective clothing they wear to keep themselves safe.

Year One had a fantastic day visiting ‘The Black Country Living Museum!’ We learned all about the materials used to build different types of houses and shops and were excited  to watch bricks and chains being made. We even had a chance to build our own walls and houses using lots of construction materials!

Year One enjoyed a walk around the local area of Moathouse Estate. Using a map to follow their route, the children identified a range of human and physical features along the way. They explored different signs, street names, and landmarks, developing their understanding of how maps connect to real places. It was a great opportunity for the children to practise their geographical skills and learn more about their community.

Year One have enjoyed learning all about how to cross the road safely. Ros, the ‘School Crossing Patrol’ lady, taught use how to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN and how to find a safe place to cross. We learned through fun role play and she even taught us a song to help us to remember exactly how to stay safe when we are crossing the street! What a fun morning full of learning!

Year 1 visited Kingswood Trust Centre for the day to develop their geographical skills as part of their current Dimensions theme ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat’. We enjoyed lots of opportunities for map reading and comparing different localities. We completed a ‘peg orienteering’ challenge around the grounds and followed a map through the forest to find our way along an ‘Owl Trail’. We collected natural materials as we walked through the woods and explored the fantastic outdoor mu

All children across school took part in anti-bullying week and we kicked-started the week with everyone wearing Odd Socks to show how we are all individual and unique!
