Y1 Technology Tom Visit

By

Year 1 have enjoyed a visit from Technology Tom this week, to support with our Science and Design Technology topics of ‘Materials’ and ‘Structures’. The children looked at the different properties of materials and how each one has its own unique benefits.

We were then shown just how strong paper can be when it is rolled into a cylinder. The children created some tall structures and two children were even brave enough to stand on one. Mr Henderson then has a try, unfortunately though he was too heavy.

In the afternoon the children worked in groups of three to create their own structure, using the information they had gained in the morning. They work brilliantly in their teams and created houses, castles, van, bridges and much more. Some structures even had working features. Here are a few photos from the day.

Marvellous Microscopes

By

Year 1 have been taking a closer look at some of the leaves, nuts and seeds they have been collecting as part of their autumn topic. They used a variety microscopes and magnifying glasses, which have been kindly loaned to the school by the Royal Microscopical Society. The children found it very interesting to see the different patterns and veins in the leaves. They even noticed a few holes where insects had been feasting.

Year 1 at Gibside

By

Year 1 enjoyed an autumnal day at Gibside, as part of their science topic, ‘Seasonal Change’. The children looked for signs that autumn was here and collected leaves, acorns and conkers to take back to class. They have also been learning about animals that hibernate, so decided to make some hedgehog homes. The children used materials around them to create a warm, waterproof shelter for them.

Although it rained most of the day, year 1 made the most of it and enjoyed a treat at the playpark for their amazing efforts.
