What has been happening in Blwyddyn Un this week?

14.03.25

Blwyddyn 1 have had an incredible week! We kicked off British Science Week with a Farm Live Lesson from the NFU, learning all about the daily chores that take place on a farm. The highlight of our week was our fantastic school trip to St Dials Farm, where we had a wonderful day being farmers! We met and fed animals, explored the machinery and found out how they plant, grow and harvest crops. In maths, we revisited place value and in literacy we wrote a recount of our trip. We also explored our World Book Day text, ‘Dogs Don’t Do Ballet’ composing “what if” sentences. A visit from Louby Lou had us discovering fascinating mini beasts, and in RE we explored the Easter Story.

This week in Blwyddyn Un, we have been busy exploring data in Maths, extracting information from bar charts, inputting it into tables, and creating our own bar charts on J2E. We also answered questions comparing the data from Ben and Bertie’s farms. In Literacy, we continued our World Book Day diversity-themed text, using adjectives to describe Biff’s feelings and completing reading comprehension tasks. The children also wrote thoughtful and encouraging letters to Biff. We had a fantastic visit to Messy Church, where we discovered the story of Matthew through crafts and planting activities. In Science and Technology, we explored hedgerow habitats, learning about the wildlife that lives there. We have also had the best time this week getting creative, using our new make do construction kits!

This week in Blwyddyn Un, we have been busy exploring measuring in Maths, using centimetres to measure different items, ordering caterpillars from shortest to tallest, and working on fact families with “If I know… then I know…” statements. In Literacy, we began our new class text, The Beeman, learning about the role of a beekeeper, labelling their clothing, and creating our own Bee Pledges. In RE, we explored our school value of courage, reflecting on how we have shown courage and how Jesus demonstrated it in the Easter Story. In Science and Technology, we investigated the life cycle of a bee, and in Welsh, we learned farm animal names. We also developed our football skills in PE and got creative in Expressive Arts, crafting special gifts for Mother’s Day!
