It has been such a fun filled and busy week in Year 1!

 

On Wednesday the children took part in a Science workshop ahead of Science Week next week. They carried out a range of activities which they thoroughly enjoyed. The finale was the opportunity to observe what happens when Mentos sweets are put in a fizzy drink. The ladies carrying out the workshop commented on how well behaved Year 1 were and their wonderful manners. Well done Year 1!

Today, Year 1 celebrated Little Heath’s World Book Day! The children all looked amazing in their World Book Day costumes. The day began with an assembly and then a workshop with the author Camilla Chester. The children then created ‘Wanted’ posters for the character they had dressed up as. In the afternoon, we completed a ‘Guess the Book Character’ riddle activity which the children really enjoyed. The children had to work out the what book character each of the 10 riddles were describing. We were able to find and answer 9 of the riddles however we struggled to find the last one. Luckily, we saw Mr Chanter walking past who had the last riddle attached to his costume. We ended the day by reading our favourite books with the children from Year 5. It was so lovely to see the Year 1’s and 5’s celebrating and enjoying books together!
