Toys

In History we are learning all about toys. The children shared their homework with the class and brought in their toy to show and discuss. We sorted them into different categories and the children did a super job of thinking of how could sort them

IMPACT: the children can sort toys according to different criteria and use this information to form general judgements about toys from today.

We decided that many of todays toys are designed so they are safe for children to use. We also found that many are electronic, plastic, colourful and interactive. 

Maths this week!

In maths this week we have been learning all about position and movement. The children have been using positional language to describe where objects are and also to describe positions such as first, second and third. We have been programming Beebots  with directions including left, right, forwards, backwards and also clockwise and anti clockwise. The children had great fun. Also we have been learning all about turns including half turn, quarter turn, three quarter turn and full turn.

Fire Service Visit in Year 1

Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service 

Visit Stanley

The Fire Brigade came into school on Tuesday to talk to us about fire safety and what the emergency services use today. We compared the equipment that is used today with what was available in 1666 during the time of the Great Fire of London. 

In order for children to understand how quickly fire spreads and the important role of the Fire Service, we recreated part of Pudding Lane from the Great Fire of London on our playground. 

Take a look at our video below.
