This week we have been exploring fruit and vegetables! Once we had worked on food hygiene we moved on to design and create our own fruit artwork! Chopping apples, grapes and salad leaves we made our creations 🍎

We then went on to the best bit… making our very own fruit salads. The children and I agreed that the evaluation was our favourite part of the lesson… EATING! 🍌 🍇 🍓

This blackbird went home and immediately put her new skills to good use! We love fruit in Year 1 😊

We had the most wonderful first afternoon back yesterday exploring Gillian Hibbs story ‘Errol’s Garden’ through our No Outsiders lesson. We role played ways to ask for help from neighbours, then explored what different neighbours may look like! 🤩 @moffat_andrew High Meadow Community School

Not everyday show and tell involves a musical performance! How lucky we are to have such talented and brave Year 1’s like this Blackbird! 🥰🤩🎻🎼
