Spring term was a very busy term for Class 1 with lots of exciting things that happened!
Exmoor Zoo Visit
It started with a visit from Exmoor Zoo. Steve brought in lots of different animals and talked about their habitats to us. We saw snakes, cockroaches, mice, woodlice, giant African land snails and he even brought Rascal the meerkat to see us!

In Design Technology, the children created bunting to help the children in FSU learn their numbers to 10. They conducted market research to help them understand what their client wanted, worked as a team to create their bunting, think about the design and how to represent the numbers on the bunting. Don’t they look fantastic!
