Year 1 had the most amazing morning at their Christmas multi-skills trip. Every activity was based around Christmas, including pin the parts on the snowman and a game of “Santa Says”. The children really enjoyed themselves and were tired out by lunch time! 
Today in maths Year 1 have been consolidating their number bonds to ten using a variety of methods. Some of them are even able to make the links to work out number bonds to 20. Mrs Wells and Miss Randle are super proud!
Year 1 are loving their Picture News on a Wednesday morning. This week we looked at a story about how some people have been evacuated from their homes in Iceland due to volcanic activity. We thought about how we would feel if we had to be evacuated and what things we would miss from our homes. Great work Year 1!
What a lovely start to December, a snowy morning and a beautiful Christingle service in St Oswald’s Church. Thank you to our parents and carers for joining us and year one for being super star singers!
Wow year 1, you have all blown us away with your fantastic phonics knowledge this week! The children are very settled in their routine and are coping so well with all the alternative GPCs which they have been taught so far. Keep it up everyone!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in year one! How amazing does our Christmas tree look? We’re all super excited to begin Christmas celebrations in school, we have so much planned to look forward too!
Ahead of our Christingle Church service, year one have been making their own Christingles, we learnt what each part of the Christingle represents. The children demonstrated excellent sticky knowledge and were very keen to share this with Mrs Smith.
This morning Y1 took part in a super Agents of Change prayer space. We completed activities linked to issues we are passionate about changing in our community and the wider world. We explored issues such as homelessness, racism, animal welfare, bullying, recycling and cancer. Children loved the hands-on nature of the activities and were all so engaged. Well done Y1!
Y1 enjoyed a fantastic road safety workshop today! We learnt how to cross the road safely using the green man at traffic lights or the school crossing patrol. We practised looking left and right, listening for cars and holding a grown up’s hand. Children received a road safety leaflet and a reflective tag to go on their coat zipper to help keep them safe.
Year 1 children are loving their PE unit which is dance! We have been looking at music and dance from different decades. Last Friday (17.11.23), we looked at music from the 1980s and practised moonwalking and the running man. We finished off doing the Locomotion by Kylie Minogue.
This unit links well to our topic work on Childhood and it has reinforced key vocabulary such as the word decades.
