The children were very excited this morning to see that our class beanstalk has grown very tall over the weekend! #Science #Year1 #1B

Year 1 went on a wild plant hunt to Sunnyhurst Woods. On their travels, they found some wild garlic. Mrs Mitchelll was very kind and used it to make the children some wild garlic soup. Here are some pictures of the children tasting it... #Science #Year1

In Science, 1B looked at what a seed needs to grow. They planted their own broad beans that they are going to look after. Take a look at our little gardeners in action... #Science #Year1 #1B

The children have had a brilliant day doing all things Egyptian. Take a look at them in action... #History #Year1 #1B

1B have enjoyed their trip to Blackburn museum today. They got to look at different inventions and learn lots of facts about ancient Egypt. They absolutely loved seeing a mummy in real life and were also ecstatic to be on the top of a double decker bus for our journey there and back too! Take a look at snapshots of their fun day out... #Year1 #History #Culturalcapital #1B

Year 1 had a great time learning all about road safety with Andy from Blackburn with Darwen council. #PSHE #1B #Year1

MUDDY MADNESS! 1B embraced the weather conditions yesterday and had a fantastic time in the woods. They threw themselves (literally) into the activities and we had lots of fun in the mud. I was so proud of their teamwork, resilience and independence. It was amazing to see the huge smiles on their faces even when they were VERY muddy and wet. #1B #Year1 #Forestschools #Georgraphy #PSHE

1B have taken part in their first forest school session today. They have had a fantastic time and have really impressed us with their resilience and perseverance. The weather was cold, wet and windy but that did not stop them making some amazing shelters and clay creatures! TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK! #Geography #Forestschools #PSHE #1B #Year1 Take a look at them in action...

We have been making dreams and goals flowers in 1B to go with the theme 'Growing Together'. #PSHE #Mentalhealthweek #1B #Year1

1B had lots of fun planning and making their own healthy dips in their DT lessons. #1B #Year1 #1B

This afternoon, 1B have been learning about what a carnivore, herbivore and omnivore is. They sorted the different animals into groups and then made animal poo to match the foods that they eat. It is safe to say we had lots of fun and laughs whilst learning new things. #1B #Science #Year1

Take a look at some of the children in 1B performing balances and travelling along the benches in different ways. #1B #Year1 #PE

Take a look at the children that have won the 'Pineapple of Bravery' so far in 1B. #Oracy #English #Year1

In 1B, we have an elf called Tinker. He is a 'little tinker' to say the least and he gets up to all sorts of mischief. This week, we have been writing letters to him, to tell him all about our school values at Avondale. The children enjoyed reading their letters to him today and Tinker enjoyed listening to them. #English #Year1 #1B #English

Year 1 have been reading the book 'Have you filled a bucket today?'. They have been thinking about the importance of kind words and have made their very own buckets that them and their friends can fill each day by being kind. Take a look at the display the children have created. It is amazing! #Antibullyingweek #Year1 #1B #1R #Friendshipweek #PSHE #Celebratingdifferences

This week is Anti-Bullying/friendship week. We have come in odd socks to launch the week today and to celebrate our differences. #PSHE #1B #Year1 We are each each unique and different but together we are a masterpiece! "In a world where you can be anything, be kind."
