Year 1 loved dressing up and sharing their favourite characters and stories on World Book Day. We had great fun having a fashion show showing off our outfits!

This week we have been learning all about physical and human features. We went exploring across Southwick and identified different features in our local area, and classifying them between things that are natural and things that have been built. Take a look at us in action.

We had so much fun on Friday, when a Judo teacher came into school and taught us some Judo moves. We loved practicing the different maneuvers safely. Take a lot at us in action!

To celebrate Halloween we have made our own pumpkins. We used clay to create the shape and detail on the pumpkin, then learn how to tint and tone colours to make them lighter and darker.
