This week we have been reading the story of ‘Hansel and Gretel’.
We described the villainous witch and thought about what potions she could be concocting in her cottage. We thought of our own recipe for a potion and then wrote these recipes as a set of instructions. Here are our ideas:
“A potion to turn you into a rat’s tail” (Ella)
“A potion to turn you into a cobweb” (Sofia)
“A potion to turn you into sticky slime” (Bella)
“A potion to turn you into an invisible frog” (Matilda)
“A potion to turn you into slimy ear” (Kallum)
“A potion to turn you into a spider” (Benedict)
“A potion to turn you into a princess” (Isabella)
“A potion to turn you into a lion” (Lucas)
“A potion to make you small” (Megan)
“A potion to turn you into a mouse” (Miti)
“A potion to turn you into a rat” (Nelson)
“A potion to turn you into a snake” (Leon)
“A potion to turn you into a wheel” (Finn)
“A potion to turn you invisible” (Lily D)
“A potion to turn you into a slimy, eerie, mysterious monster” (Cruz)
“A potion to turn you into an apple” (Shinjiro)
“A potion to turn you into a frog” (Lily V)
“A potion to turn you into concrete” (Edward)
“A potion to turn you into a frog” (Aaron)
“A potion to make you fade away” (Harry)

This week we have completed our D.T project to design and make a fairy tale puppet. The children all designed their puppet and wrote a list of what materials and equipment they would need to complete their project. Here are our amazing products!
In maths we have been reviewing the key skills taught this term by consolidating our reasoning and problem skills.
This week the children designed and made a beautiful plant pot from recycled yogurt pots. They then sold their product to help raise money for the Lunchbowl Network. Thank you to our school councillors Ella and Harrison who managed our plant stall.
After half term, we will be sending out information regarding our trip to Fishpond’s Wood.
We wish you all a lovely break,
The Year 1 Team
