Year 1's Land Ahoy Day!!

In year one the children came to school dressed up as pirates, sailors, fishermen and we even had our very own mermaid.

We had the most fabulous time taking part in a treasure hunt!

Looking at boats through history and how they were powered.

We also enjoyed making pirate hats!

The start of our treasure hunt!

Keeley and Libby working together to solve the clues.

Hooray!!!  We found the treasure

Now it's time to make our pirate hats.

We all had a great day.

Land Ahoy!

Our new topic in year one is based around boats and the sea.
We will be learning about simple mechanisms such as pulleys, levers and joints.
Looking at different forces (push, pull, floating and sinking).
Finding out about the properties of different materials and how to conduct a fair test.
We are also going to be learning about water transport through the ages and across the world.
We will be writing and re-telling narrative stories.
Year one will have the opportunity to dress up as a Pirate, Sailor, Lifeboat Man, Fisherman or anything nautical for our "Land Ahoy" day.
