Year 1 Elder enjoyed their first session of Forest School this week.

Below are some moments of our time in Kings Cross. It is such a beautiful, tranquil place that is worth visiting and spending more time there. The highlight of the trip was children seeing a ginger cat on a boat, sitting in front of the canal and drawing a picture of the view. In addition, the children began to notice colourful monsters that is part of the Kings Cross Halloween trail.

For History, Year 1 Elder learnt about Rayners Lane in the past from Mrs Chaksfield.

Year 1 Elder did some Geography fieldwork by going around the school to see if they were far or near from their classroom. Also they used maps to find out where they were by working together as a team. Along the way, Elder class even spoke to Mr Martinez. By the end of the lesson, all the children knew which classroom they were near to or further away from.

Year 1 Elder have been learning to count backwards from any given number. Also in History, we have been talk about what schools were like in the past.

Year 1 Elder has settled into Year 1 very well. They are fully aware of the school rules and expectations. The picture below shows the children doing talk tennis partners about what they did for the Summer holiday.
