Science Week

Last week was our Science week!!

We explored and investigated various scientific areas!!

What conditions will an ice cube melt the quickest? Enjoying ice lollies!!

What material makes the best parachute?

What animals live in the Antarctic and Arctic?

We have been on a local walk looking at homes and the area.

Look at what we have seen.

 The church

 The library

The local shops

We followed a map and plotted what we saw.

We saw lots of lovely food.

There are so many things to see in Hainault!

Buildings survey in Hanault

On Wednesday we walked around the local streets to try and identify different buildings that people might live in.

We found different houses, detached, semi-detached and terraced.

There were flats where the stairs were inside and Maisonette's where the stairs were outside.
The children also saw bungalows.
Later we collected data about the homes we live in.

It's Party Time!

Our Christmas parties will be taking place on Tuesday 17th December.  For this we ask for children to bring donations of food for the party, such as;
* crisps
* biscuits
* fruit
* small cakes
* sausage rolls
* any other party type food

Please ensure that any food that is brought in does not contain nuts. 

Children are to come in to school wearing their school uniform but may bring a change of clothes for the party.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Making a difference Week

This week we have been learning about helping others and thinking about our special friends.

On Thursday both Y1 classes held a Sponsored Fancy Dress Walk to raise money for charity.

We had to negotiate lots of obstacles during the run bit it was great fun!!

Science in the Park

Last week the Y1 classes visited Hainault Park.

We looked at the way the seasons have changed and the impact on the environment.

Some trees loose their leaves and others don't.

They produce fruits and seeds which we collected.

This visit also inspired us to write some Autumn poems.

History Workshop in Y1 classes

Y1 classes are learning about the past and had a visit from Catherine from Epping Forest Museum.

She brought in lots of artefacts that were a hundred years old!!

The children and staff dressed up as Victorians to make it more exciting!!

We learnt a  lot about life in the past!!
