year 1

Computing

16/5/2025

 
The children have started a module on digital writing. Using a 'docs' document on a chrome book. They have been exploring how to use space bar, return key and how to make capital letters. 
They were tasked to write about a lost teddy- they all continued their understanding of the docs document by exploring how to change size of the font and change colour of text. 

Science

16/5/2025

 
This term, as part of our plant topic, we planted our own runner bean plants. They have grown amazingly! The children have made sure they are warm, watered and cared for perfectly. 
We have also been investigating about deciduous trees, evergreen tree and wild flowers.
​

Our trip to Plymouth Aquarium

1/5/2025

 
I am so incredibly proud of year one. They were amazing ambassadors for South Tawton Primary school. They listened intently, were well-mannered and behaved impeccably. 
We spent our morning, exploring the aquarium with our guide Becky, learning all about the different habitats in the sea. In the afternoon, we put our learning to the test, making hats with different habitats and who lives in these habitats. Here we are exploring the aquarium.

Summer Term 2025

1/5/2025

 
Welcome back to the Summer term of Year One! 

Starting off this term, we are beginning to explore the concept of times tables. We are practising counting in 2s, 5s, and 10s. 
This weeks we have been looking at making equal groups. We have been challenging ourselves with a set amount of one object and looking at making equal groups with them. I challenged the class to collect 12 of one item and ask them to see if they could share these items into equal groups. The class rose to the challenge and here are some ways we made equal groups.

Measuring mass

25/3/2025

 
Year 1 are just starting to look at Mass and capacity. The children were asked to weigh animals. We started by weighing and looking at which animal is heavier and lighter. We then investigated which the weight of each animal using cubes to measure the mass of the animals. 
Finally, we compared the animals discussing which was heaviest and lightest and looking at the difference in weight.

Friendly alien....

25/3/2025

 
Mrs Goodwin sent us a video clip to tell us she had spotted something yellow on our CCTV camera from around the school. She told us it was a friendly alien called Beegu. 
Miss Barton shared a photo of Beegu and we wrote our own descriptions of him. 
​Here are a few of them.

Something in our field.......

24/3/2025

 
This morning, Miss Barton was called to work early as something had appeared in our school field!
​
We went out to investigate, we found foot prints, yellow pieces of material and a spaceship looking thing. The children had lots of question about: What was it? Why had it come to our school? Where is the creature from the spaceship?, What does it look like?, What texture is the creature? 


Hopefully, we'll have some answers later in the week.

World Book Day 2025

6/3/2025

 
Year 1 had a wonderful time celebrating World Book Day. 
We joined the Ocean Conservation Trust and listened to a wonderful story read by a mermaid! It was very exciting to have a sneak peak at the aquarium we will be visiting after Easter. 
Throughout the day we met with our Year 6 buddies to share our books and costumes and we made finger puppets to act out our stories.

New Design and Technology Project.

6/3/2025

 
This week Year 1 have started a new unit of learning in Design and Technology, Veggie Smoothies!
First we have to make sure we knew how to identify a fruit. We learnt that vegetable is the name for any edible part of a plant and that the fruit is part of a plants life cycle. We explored lots of vegetables to find the seeds and this helped us to say which were fruit. 

Maths Day!

6/3/2025

 
Year 1 enjoyed a fantastic day of Maths learning last Wednesday.
We used Numbers to write our very own class story all about number bonds. We found Maths very helpful when building a city scape out of lego. We found out that Maths was beautiful when painting symmetrical bugs and found our mathematical knowledge to be an excellent tool when solving problems!
