Year 1 History: World War 1 Commemorations.

Year one have really enjoyed learning about World War One. The children have been so eager to learn about this topic and have even continued finding out more at home, which has been wonderful to see.

We started our week by going back in time 100 years and found out what is was like to go to school in 1914! We had chalk boards to practise our handwriting on and lots of times tables to learn!

We also enjoyed finding out about the different types of clothes that were worn 100 years ago and the special jobs the children had during the war to help out.

Trench cake was sent out to the soldiers to remind them of home and we had a go at making and tasting our very own trench cake!

The children were also thinking about the soldiers in English whilst writing some fantastic acrostic poems! During our art lesson we created some wonderful poppy field scenes.

We ended the week by playing some playground games that children 100 years ago would have played. We played marbles, hopscotch, skipping rope games and sang "In and out the dusty blue bells". It was a lot of fun, well done year one for a super week!
