Year 1

Welcome to Year 1!

Mrs Bush, Mrs Johnson, Mrs Monk, Miss Marshall and Miss Southam are our Year 1 teachers.

Our Spring Inquiry Project is Expedition Adventure!  We have challenged the children to plan a new expedition to go somewhere where no one else has gone before. Where will they go? How will they get there? What will they need to prepare? Why are they going? What can they learn from explorers from the past?

During the project, the children will develop their historical knowledge of past explorations and learn about the people who led pioneering expeditions. They will consider why humans look to explore the unknown and what we have learnt/benefited from their journeys. They will develop their scientific understanding of different materials and use this to understand why certain materials are used for particular objects/jobs based on their properties.

We are looking forward to a trip to Aerospace Bristol on 6th March where children will be able to discover science in action through the amazing exhibits and fun activities. During the visit children will also be part of an interactive workshop in which they will discover the rich history of the aerospace industry and some of the key people in history that were aero heroes in their time

As part of our project, we will also be undertaking a Diversity Case Study on Preet Chandi, a British/Asian physiotherapist and army officer who, on the 3rd January 2022, successfully completed a solo skiing expedition to the South Pole, thereby becoming the first woman of colour to complete a solo-expedition across Antarctica.
