Summer 2 Learning

As we head into the home straight in what has been an incredibly fun year of learning, we will spend this final term looking at different topics; including; Science, History, Religious Studies and Geography. 

We will be looking as the different seasons (Winter, Summer, Spring, Autumn). 

Also the children will be learning about Briefield and all t's different features and how the area has changed. 

Science

Key Questions:

Are all seasons the same?

How do properties of materials affect their use? 

The children went out into the yard to discover what materials they could find.  This included metal, wood, plastic and more.  Ask them which materials they can find around the house. 

Using different materials, we had to investigate how we could protect an egg from cracking if it was dropped.

The children had lots of great ideas and we were even able to test some of them.  We were ble to test tin foil, bubblewrap, cardboard, fabric and tissue.  Check out the pictures below to see how we got on. 

Watch the videos at the bottom of the page to see more of the experiment. 

History

Key Question:

How has Brierfield changed over time?

Geography

Religious Studies

In RE we have been learning about the many different, incredible religions; in particular Islam, Christianity and Hinduism.

Spelling Bee

Year 1 was buzzing with excitement with the arrival of the hugely competitive Spelling Bee Competition.  The children were given words to learn and were tested until we were down to the final six children from the Aye-Aye and Sloth classes.

The final six were given new words and were tested in front of a packed audience of their fellow classmates.  Every finalist was a amazing and it was an extremely close results.  But there was only one winner...
