Today, as part of World Diabetes Day Year 1 had a visit from Diabetic Nurses. The children thought of questions they would like to ask and we leant all about what diabetes is.
Following on from Mrs Smith and Mrs Sharrock’s oracy assembly we focused on word association. The children used this to test their sticky knowledge from, what they had learnt.
This afternoon Year 1 started their new unit in PE, dance. This half term Y1 will be learning cheerleading with Mrs Urwin. This afternoon we talked about what dancing is and copied some dance moves. We then had a tinker with the pom poms and started counting in 8s and practising some steps.
Yesterday, Year 1 had the BEST day at The Centre for Life. As part of our Geography topic ‘Our Wonderful World’ we participated in a workshop that focused on the continents of the world, animal habitats and landmarks.
We then explored the play zone, the space centre and the creativity zone. We’re so proud of the children. Their knowledge blew away staff and their behaviour was impeccable as always.
Year 1 visited Jarrow Library this morning to change their books and choose some new.
Whilst we visited the children focused on their Oracy skills following on from Mrs Smith and Mrs Sharrock’s assembly.
We learnt that to show good listening and speaking we need knees and eyes together. The children demonstrated this by talking with their friend about the book they had chosen, and asked each other questions.
As part of our worship challenge this week, Year 1 looked at how different emotions might fit into the four zones of regulation. Children discussed times when they might have felt these emotions and how this might have impacted on their learning.
Our lovely Year 1 children were so mature today. They came into the Reception class to support our reading session. We paired up with a friend to share our favourite story.
