In Science, Year 1 have been busy learning about the difference between what an object is and what material it is made from. They discovered that every object around us is made from different materials. They then enjoyed sorting the objects in their classroom! @stchris_trust— St. Sidwell's C of E (@stsidwellsce) Oct 15, 2025

In art, Year 1 delved into the colourful world of Wassily Kandinsky. Known as one of the pioneers of abstract art, Kandinsky believed that colours and shapes could express emotions—especially when paired with music. #findingthelight #flourishingcommunities @stchris_trust— St. Sidwell's C of E (@stsidwellsce) Oct 6, 2025
