Year 1 have been very busy this Summer Term looking at how we can be healthy. We have enjoyed completing our daily mile everyday and exploring new ways to complete the challenge. 

Year 1 love to be outside and we have loved to complete our PE lessons outside in the sunshine. We really enjoy when Miss Croll is teaching PE and we explore new ways to be fit and healthy. 

Furthermore, we have explored what makes a healthy meal and what we should eat to stay fit and healthy. We even got to create our own healthy meal!

Year 1 have really enjoyed our faith weeks looking into the Islamic faith and the Hindu faith. We had the opportunity to listen to visitors talk about Hinduism and we got to wear traditional Hindu clothes. 

Year 1 have enjoyed our class worships together and have even joined with St Gladys to worships together. We have focused on our pupil profile virtues during our worships. 

Furthermore, Year 1 have enjoyed looking further into our Catholic Social Teaching. We have been looking at participation and how God would want us to participate. We explore the different services we have and how we can use them for God.

Year 1 have been busy during our Science lessons. Miss Croll has been teaching us all about worms and identifying what makes an adult worm. We have been looking at the habitats that worms live in. 

With Miss Coles we have been understanding what makes a living thing. Year 1 have been fantastic at identifying living things and non living things. Recently we have also looked at the life cycle of a sunflower and we cannot wait to look at the different life cycles of plants and animals. 

Year 1 have been very busy looking at our new topic called From Here to Home. 

We have enjoyed going on a bear hunt to see the local area. We have created maps in a group starting at our school and around the local area. 

Year 1 have been thinking about where is special within our local area and identifying why these places are special to us. Recently we have been understanding why our school is special to the children and understanding what makes the school special. 

Year 1 are excited to explore further into Cardiff Bay next week!

Our virtues this term are loving and compassionate. We have been learning about how Jesus was loving and compassionate during our class worships. Also, we have learnt about how we can be loving and compassionate to one another. 

Social teaching-

During our social teaching lessons we have been looking into who are our global neighbours and what makes us a global neighbour. The children have really enjoyed looking into our global neighbours and how we can help one another. As a class we wrote a prayer that we can say to help all our global neighbours and understand that we can be one big family.

We have been very busy in Dosbarth St Winifred's. We would like to share some of class highlights with you! 

We have been learning lots about the Great Fire of London. As a class we explored what questions we would like to find out about, we got creative, and we even decorated our own cakes as if we were working in a bakery.  

During RE we have been looking at Advent and we have focused on the first candle of hope. Year 1 were able to invite Reception into our classroom to have a class worship as a group, we looked at how we help others just like Jesus taught us to do.
