Light and Dark
For the next few weeks, our mini-topic is all about Light and Dark.
Here are some examples of what we’ll be learning in class:
- To be able to know that light is essential for seeing things.
- To be able to recognise that there are many sources of light and they vary in brightness.
- To know that shiny objects need a light source if they are to shine and that shiny objects are not light sources.
- To be able to suggest how to find out about where a reflective strip will shine brightly.
- To investigate shadows.

Swimming
There is no swimming next week or the first week back after the Easter holidays. Consequently, the next swimming session will be on Wednesday 27 April.
What is Learning?
This week Year 1 have been thinking about the word “learning.” They were asked to think about different questions:
- What is learning?
- How do we learn best?
- How do you go about learning something new?
- How do you know you have learned something new?
They are working really well together and came up with some great ideas about learning!
