2 weeks ago Posted on 30th Apr 2026 by Kelly Longmore Y1 DT Parent Workshop In Year 1 we have been learning all about dinosaurs and we have written the story ‘We are going on a Dinosaur hunt.’ As part of our DT unit we made moving dinosaur pictures to go into our book corner for our stories. We made sure our pictures had a mechanism to make it move. We used levers to make the tail and jaw move and sliders to move dinosaurs along the ground. We invited our parents and carers in to help us and we couldn’t have done it without them!

3 months ago Posted on 10th Feb 2026 by Kelly Longmore Year 1 Safer Internet Day On Safer Internet Day we learnt all about what AI (Artificial Intelligence) is and how to use it safely. We talked about AI that we have in our home like Alexa. At home we use Alexa to ask about the weather or play music that we like and we discussed how this was a safe way to use AI. We learnt that it would be unsafe to tell AI personal information about ourselves or our friends. We also joined in a webinar with lots of other schools to learn about AI and how computers learn information from humans.
