On Friday 18th June, in DT, Year 1 have been learning about fruit and vegetables, they looked at the different food categories to understand what they needed to include in a healthy diet. They tasted different salads today and evaluated which ones they liked or didn't like. They tasted a potato salad, beetroot and carrot salad, coleslaw salad and lettuce.
Friday 7th May:
Year 1 went back into the woodland area to find out more about some woodland friends. They were looking for puzzle pieces, which had different facts on different animals. We discovered many different facts about frogs, foxes, hedgehogs and rabbits. |

Friday 30th April:
Year 1 have enjoyed learning about Piet Mondrian. They had a great afternoon using blocks of colours to create their own piece of art. They were inspired by the artist and enjoyed expressing their own interpretation. |

Invitation to participate in research
As well as being the Year 1 teacher, I am currently undertaking a part time Master’s in Teaching Studies at the University of Birmingham. For my research project I am looking at whether outdoor learning engages children in Year 1 and whether this encourages better
writing outcomes. Therefore, I am contacting you to ask if you would agree for your child in Year 1 to become a participant in my study and allow me to collect data on them.
When using the school garden, it is clear that the children are engaged and always have a wonderful time. I want to find out if using the outdoors could help ease the transition from reception and also stimulate writing by creating first-hand experiences which are memorable to the children. I will be looking at the children’s engagement in the activities planned and the difference in the classroom and outdoors. I hope this will then contribute to my teaching and ensure the children in Year 1 have a positive learning experience.
I will be planning interventions and activities outdoors for all children. I would like to ask your child to fill out a child friendly questionnaire at the end of the session. I will select a small number of children for a focus group They will also have a journal to record any writing or drawing that inspired them whilst outdoors. Observations of focus group children will be made throughout and I will interview this group asking questions to understand their experiences and the impact of the project. The focus group children interviewed will be video recorded and photographs will be taken when outdoors.
Your child’s participation in this research is entirely voluntary and I will also be asking the children if they wish to participate. If you choose not to give your consent, there will be no questions asked, and there will of course, be no consequence to your child. All children will have the opportunity to take part in the outdoor activities, whether or not you choose to give your consent for the questionnaire and the focus group.
The information I collect from my research project will be kept privately and stored safely on a password protected device. All information collected will be kept anonymously using pseudonyms and no photograph of your child will be included. After I write up the results, all information collected will be destroyed and you will receive information of the results. If you would like your child to take part in my research project, please fill in the consent form below.
Many thanks,
Miss Michelet
