St. Therese Class 1
To complete our topic on the history of Flight Class 1 have been investigating hot air balloons. We talked about what happens to the air inside the hot air balloon when the burner starts and how it rises.We then tried to recreate this using the parachute and each of the children ran underneath the balloon to see what it would feel like. We then made our own hot air balloons using helium and tested them by throwing them up into the air. We had to weigh them down with the baskets though otherwise they would have flown away. We then drew our own hot air balloons and labelled them.

Class 1 Assembly! Class 1 shone bright at their first assembly of the year! They shared their knowledge of flight and retold the story of Supertato with all of the actions. Each child made a pair of wings for their parents and said why they thought they were their Superhero.
Lets go fly a kite! Class 1 have been learning about flight and how we can make things fly. We talked about air resistance and gravity. We then created our own kites and tested these outside, experimenting with different routes of running to test the wind direction.
Macmillan Coffee morning - Class 1 decided that they would like to bake their own cakes in class to sell at the Macmillan Coffee afternoon which took place in school. We created our own chef hats and then followed a set of instructions to create delicious chocolate and syrup crispy cakes. All of the children were allowed to try the cakes first to ensure they were safe to eat!
Forest School - Class 1 ventured into the forest school in search of the Gruffalo! We looked in underground and treetop houses but we couldn't find him anywhere. We decided to create our own natural Gruffalo to leave in the forest as a friend. We searched for different objects that we could use for the Gruffalos body and then painted a picture of him using sticks and mud. We even used blackberries for the purple prickles all over his back!
Jam sandwich recipe instructions - Class 1 have been learning about how to write and follow a set of instructions. We used bossy verbs such as mix, spread and add to say what we needed to do and then followed them to make our own jam sandwich. Yum!
