Year 1 enjoyed Carers Day last week. They participated with a Money Sense lesson and identified where money comes from.

They were lucky enough to have a workshop with West Mercia Search and Rescue. They children were told about how the search and rescue team work hard to find and rescue people across all different terrains including on water and in woodlands. They showed the children their uniform and different equipment that they use.

The children were taught  (SAFE):

Stay

Away
From the
Edge

The children also had a visit from a local farmer from PDM. They learnt about the different job types involved with farming and were able to learn about cultivation and groundwork. The children used their knowledge from their science unit, Plants, to help identify what lettuce would need in order to grow. They then tried different types of lettuce and went outside to look at a tractor. They had a great time!

Year 1 has a fantastic morning on their nature walk. We discussed the changes in the season and compared the leaves on the trees to Autumn. We identified that the leaves had fully regrown onto the trees and that they were bright green.

We also used our scientific knowledge of plants to identify flowers on our nature walk. We were able to confidently label the parts of a plant. We enjoyed exploring and being in nature.
