🌍 Year 1 Geography - Our Place in the world! 🗺

Our Year 1 Geographers have made a fantastic start to our new geography topic, Our Place in the World!

Over our first few lessonsm we have been developing our geographical skills and learning more about the world immediately around us. 🔍 We began by learning what a geographical question is and practising how to ask simple questions about the world around us. We explored a selection of photographs showing different areas of our school grounds and came up with some brilliant questions about what we could see.

🗺 Next we explored simple maps, thinking about how they can represent places on a larger scale. We had a go at creating our own maps of the school grounds, before working together to plan a route around our school.

👀 Finally, we put our observational skills to the test! We explored different areas of our school grounds at various points throughout the day, carefully observing our surroundings and recording what we noticed.

We have loved seeing our geographers showing such wonderful curiosity, asking thoughtful questions and developing their understanding of the world around them. What a fantastic start to our new topic! 🌍💜 #dcpspandas #dcpspolarbears #dcpscore #dcpsgeography ... See MoreSee Less

The Whales have been loving their Geography unit learning all about human and physical geography before looking at coastal features and erosion. Their knowledge is impressive and we can’t wait to learn more! #dcpscore #dcpsgeography #dcpswhale ... See MoreSee Less

🤸‍♀️🕷️ Reception PE – Gymnastics! 🕷️🤸‍♂️

On Wednesday, we began our new gymnastics unit, also known as Spider-Man training! 🕸️

Our focus was on jumping and landing safely. The children explored different styles of jumping and had lots of fun practising each one.

I was so impressed with the fantastic skills they demonstrated, their enthusiasm and the way they took turns so sensibly, showing great patience and encouragement towards one another.

🌉 🐟 Friday PE with Connor consisted of the children pretending to be ‘Bridges and Fish’. The children had to demonstrate balancing in different positions and moving through the bridge in different ways. 🌉 🐟

🌳🔥 Reception's Forest School Adventure! 🔥🌳

Reception had another fantastic adventure at Forest School this week!

There was lots of excitement as Gav made a fire for us to watch. The children were fascinated as the flames changed into different colours as the fire burned. What a magical sight! 🌈🔥

We also enjoyed feeding the ducks 🦆 and playing a fun game of hide and seek with our friends.

🔢🌟 Reception have been exploring the number 5! 🌟🔢

This week, we have been developing our understanding of counting, ordinality and cardinality, with a special focus on the number 5.

We enjoyed singing the rhyme '5 Peas in a Pea Pod Pressed' 🌱 and used lots of practical resources in the classroom to explore the number 5 in different ways.

The children worked together and investigated how we can make 5, what it looks like and the different ways it can be represented. We practised counting carefully, recognising quantities and understanding that the last number we count tells us how many there are altogether.
