Year 1 newsletter

In year 1 we have been continuing with our seaside topic by learning all about Victorian bathing costumes in our history lesson. We really enjoyed looking at pictures of Victorian bathing costumes and comparing them to modern day swimming costumes. We had a real debate about which they would prefer to wear now- most siding with modern day, however Kalvin made a good point that in a Victorian bathing costume they were protected from jellyfish stings and sunburn! Here are a few of the children's comments:

“I think modern because you won’t wear a big dressing swimming costume, modern won’t make you sink as much.”

“Modern because different sizes or things like it might come in shorts or shirts or all in one.”

This week Nightingale went on a local trip to the Bishop's Stortford Library! We were really excited to find out how to sign up to the library, how to use the kiosk and how many books you can take out at once- 30! We had a look at the fiction and non-fiction books and ended our visit with story time before we left. Seacole are really excited to go this week!
