Year 1 have been really busy this month learning all about 'The Great Outdoors'!
Our favourite part has to be our 'Year 1 Campsite' where we planned a super afternoon on the school field with our grown ups! We had tents, games and even a campfire where we toasted marshmallows and made delicious smores. After experiencing the camping afternoon, we became expert campers and in English we were able to write brilliant information leaflets all about camping!
Year 1 enjoy taking lots of their learning outside - we have been learning all about plants in Science, Explorers in History and improving our throwing and catching skills during PE with Tom from Blackpool Community Trust!
Penelope, Isla-Grace, Margot and Poppy all took part in Baines' Got Talent this month. All of the girls performed in front of a huge audience at Millfield High School and were all so confident with their acts! The girls represented Year 1 so well and we were all really proud of them!
