peeling vegetables and mixing them together. It looked lovely and tasted great. We then wrote a what you need list and

then made autumn faces.
It has been another busy half term in Year 1. In English we have been reading Supertato books so that we could write our
own Superhero story. We created our own Super vegetables and fruits look at the fantastic results.

with a catapult. We learnt about different dragons from stories and practiced with swords.
In our design technology lessons we have been learning about moving pictures and vehicles. We made pictures linked to our
theme on castles including sliders and levers.
This half term we have also been out in the Forest school. We have been learning about different clothes for different
weather by making scarecrows and dressing them in appropriate clothing.
In science we have been learning about materials and their properties. We made collage faces using materials with same
