In year 1 we are currently working on place value within 10. This morning the children enjoyed a ‘one less game’ after completing their work, demonstrating what they have learnt so far.
Yesterday, in RE, Year 1 read the parable of The Lost Son. Children discussed the story and then worked in groups to role play the events in the parable. They tried hard to show the different emotions experienced by each character,through their facial expressions and gestures. Well done Year 1!
Year 1 have had a fabulous afternoon for their first Forest School session! We have spent our afternoon investigating shelters as part of our new Shade and Shelter topic.
We have found shelters in our school grounds and thought about their purpose, before having a try at making our own shelters, thinking about what materials would be best. Great work Year 1!
Year 1 have had a fabulous Healthy Minds session with Lucy this afternoon, thinking and talking about their worries. They discussed how the worries made them feel and drew pictures inside a body outline to show these feelings.
We bet there were some tired reception legs, last night! Reception have had an amazing final trip. We loved our ferry trip, park visit and ice lollies. What a gorgeous end to the year!
The rain didn’t stop us! Reception enjoyed their mini Sport’s Day with Miss Marley. We enjoyed running, balancing and racing. Thank you Miss Marley.
On Thursday afternoon, Reception put their design skills to the test and made their own lighthouses and beaches. We were blown away by the independence and creativity in the classroom!
Wow! Reception had an amazing, rich experience as they made their way along the gangplank onto the Spanish Galeon Andalucia pirate ship.
We toured the boat, learning about life onboard for the Spanish explorers and traders who made long journeys in such vessels throughout the 16th and 18th centuries.
Standing on the main deck, we could see cannons on each side and the masts and reams of ropes stretching over our heads. We negotiated the steep stairs to investigate the lower deck, where the sailors slept and stored food and drink!
The pirates are coming! Reception have had a fun filled morning with our friends from Bede Burn.
As part of their agents of change worship, reception made bird feeders. We threaded cheerios onto pipe cleaners. We shaped them and tied on some string. We then went into the nature garden and hung them on the branches. We discussed how we were making a positive impact to the environment and birds!
