Year One went off to Cragside for their Summer Trip. They found out lots of information about Lord Armstrong and enjoyed exploring the beautiful grounds. Luckliy the weather held off, and we even got some sunshine.
Year One Easter Activity Day
The children in Year had a great morning in our school grounds with their parents. There were lots of fun activities to do including, easter egg rolling, decorate eggs, egg and spoon race and hot cross buns as refreshments.The rain held off and we managed to complete the morning outside in the spring sunshine, All the children and their parents hed a fantastic day!
Year One Art Project
The children in Year One have been involved in an exciting art project. Every child has created their own personal design on a piece of square fabric using paint, which was inspired by the Spanish Artist Antoni Gaudi. The children have attached all of their squares of fabric together (similar to a patchwork effect) and this will be displayed in school when it is finished.

Antoni Gaudi
Year 1 had great fun learning about the Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi. We looked at some of his most famous buildings such as La Sagrada Familia and La Pedrera and talked about their shape and why Gaudi designed them to look the way they do.We also looked at Gaudi’s beautiful mosaic work in Parc Guell.
Then we put our knowledge into action when we went outside and gathered up natural objects to make our own Gaudi design. We used leaves, twigs, fruit which had fallen from the trees in our grounds as well as some lovely pieces of bark which we found on the ground.
We then set to work and designed two fabulous sculptures of an apple tree and a mosaic Elmer the Elephant. You can see the results for yourself if you click on the link below.
