Year 1

Y1 – RE / Computing

Today, we listened to the Christian story of ’The Good Samaritan’. We thought about Jesus’ message to love thy neighbour and who our neighbours are.

When thinking about taste, we found the elderflower tree and learned that we can use the flowers to make cordial. We found smooth, rough, cold, hard and soft things to feel; flowers and trees to smell […]
