Year One’s Sunny Science and Seasonal Art

This term, our Year One students have been exploring the wonders of the natural world through an exciting Science unit all about the sun and the seasons.

They began by learning how the sun appears to move across the sky during the day. Through class discussions and hands-on activities, students discovered how the sun rises in the morning, travels across the sky, and sets in the evening. To show what they had learned, they created colourful pictures of the sun’s journey from morning to night. Their artwork was full of bright colours and thoughtful details.

As part of the same unit, students also explored the changing seasons, focusing on autumn and spring. They talked about how the weather, plants, and trees change throughout the year, and how these changes affect our daily lives. This learning was brought to life through beautiful artworks inspired by autumn leaves and spring flowers. Using paint, collage, and other materials, students created pieces that captured the colours and feeling of each season.

It’s been wonderful to see how this unit has helped students connect science with creativity. They’ve been curious, engaged, and proud of their work.

Well done, Year One!
