Cuckoos - Y1

29th January 2026- A visit from a Scientist....

Cuckoo's had a show from our very own scientist today! Charlie showed us how static electricity can make ghosts and also made an electrical circuit with an apple- it was absolutely fantastic! Thank you to Charlie for sharing your science skills with us- the children absolutely loved it! If your child has done any science experiments at home that they would like to share, please do let me know.

 

Tricky Word Disco

This week we had a tricky word disco- the children got to have a dance and when the music stopped they had to write down a tricky word. Great practice and good to get those legs moving in the afternoon!

 

22nd January 2026 - English

We have just finished writing our first short narrative in English. Filth and Vacuum, two awful baddies, have landed in the school and the children finished their own story where a superhero comes and saves the day. They worked hard to ensure they didn't forget their capital letters, finger spaces and full stops, as well as including some amazing descriptive language and pictures,.

 

 

History

This week in History we learnt about transport in space, how Laika was the first dog to travel into Space and the first mission to the moon was called Apollo 11. The class was absolutely fascinated by this topic, asking lots of relevant questions and engaging in the content fantastically!
