Year 1 Explore Fruits and Friendship

-

This week we have been exploring the story Handa’s Surprise. The children used describing words to talk about the different fruits in Handa’s basket and we had a lot of fun tasting some of them too. We explored their colours, textures and flavours - there were plenty of funny faces as we tried new things! The mango was definitely our most popular choice.

Afterwards, the children coloured in their own fruits and thought carefully about words to describe them.

We also talked about Handa and Akeyo’s friendship in the story. The children shared their own ideas about how we can be kind and caring friends, just like Handa and Akeyo.

'The mango is my favourite because it is juicy and sweet.' - Arthur

'The mango is soft and tasty.' - Caasie

'The avocado is squishy and smooth.' - Abiya

'The pineapple feels spiky.' - Denzel

It has been lovely to see Year 1 enjoying their learning this week, using exciting describing words and thinking carefully about friendship.

Bawdsey Day 2

Today has been another action-packed day here at Bawdsey, with the children up bright and early, full of energy and excitement for what lay ahead. After a hearty hot breakfast to fuel the morning, the first activities kicked off: canoeing and Survivor (a fantastic session of den building and outdoor skills). The children embraced the challenge, showing great teamwork and creativity as they constructed their shelters and took to the water with enthusiasm. Following a tasty lunch, the afternoon brought even more thrills with the giant swing — a definite favourite! There were plenty of cheers (and a few nervous giggles) as each child took their turn. We rounded off the day’s activities with a problem-solving session, where teamwork, communication, and thinking outside the box were the keys to success.
