On our way to the library, Year 1 focused on Geography fieldwork. The children looked at the local area identifying what type of settlement they live in. They spotted human and physical features, and decided that Jarrow is a town.
This year, Ralph was very fortunate to have spent Christmas in Disneyland! With his sister Emmeline and baby brother Milo ☺️
They all had a lovely time meeting Woody, Jessie and Santa! We finished the week in London, at the Warner Bros studio tour.
We hope you all had a lovely Christmas ☺️
Year 1 enjoyed a lovely Christmas lunch yesterday. Lots of them enjoyed their roasties and turkey but were not so sure about the sprouts!
Yesterday Year 1 finished their digital art unit. First of all they learnt how to use shapes to create a collage in the style of Matisse. Then they completed their gold task by using all of their new skills to create a Christmas scene!
Year 1 and 2 have been busy this week performing our Nativity twice called ‘A Miracle in Town’! We have LOVED performing this to you all and were superstar singers!
Year One had a fabulous afternoon at their Christmas party. They danced, played games and ate lots of party food! Mrs Wells and Mrs Hope were so impressed with their behaviour and attitudes towards each other. They were definitely in the Christmas spirit!
Year 1 had the most magical time in our Winter Wonderland this morning. Thank you to all our parents & carers for joining us on The Polar Express and getting into the festive spirit 
A BIG thank you to Mrs Whittle, Mrs O’Doherty and Conductor Richardson for giving our children a time to remember at St Oz!
Year One have had a fantastic morning, combining their Geography and Maths learning. They started off the session thinking about the directional and positional language that they knew and then they used it to direct Mrs Wells to different objects around the classroom. They then worked together to direct each other using the vocabulary that they had learnt.
On Friday, Year 1 started their digital art unit for Computing.
Firstly, they discussed what the different paint tools might be for, as part of their cool task. Then, they explored artwork by Mondrian, before learning how to create their own artwork in his style by using the line and fill tools. Children used paintz.app for their digital painting. This program is available for free by simply typing “paintz.app” into Google on any device.
Well done Year 1!
Year 1 had a fantastic time with Mrs O’Doherty in the nature garden for forest school on Thursday.
First of all, children discussed all of the different features of a woodland, then they went out and looked for these in our nature garden. They were excited to spot features such as bird nests and fungi.
Finally they took part in woodland management by helping Mrs O’Doherty to wood-chip the paths in the nature garden to help preserve vegetation.
