Year 1 enjoying their first week back!

14th September 2023L Chisholm

Welcome to the first post showcasing the amazing work completed by year 1. The children have all settled back into school life with ease and are taking on their new challenges with excitement and creativity.  We have been looking at sorting objects in various ways in our maths lessons and ‘The Colour Monster’ has been our book of choice in English where we have been talking about our feelings.  Our PE sessions this term are with our sports coach and we are focussing on different ways to move and jump.  Our Learning Means the World lessons have been around safe playing with our friends and looking at habitats and life cycles of animals.  As you can see we have been really busy but have had so much fun and can’t wait to share more of our experiences with you throughout the year!

A very special delivery to Reception!

24th April 2023K Richardson

Last week we had a very special delivery of 10 eggs, so far 9 of them have hatched, 1 boy and 8 girls. The children have loved watching them hatch and are really enjoying learning about the life cycle. 🥚 🐣 🐤 on Friday we held them. The children were amazing, so gentle and kind. They were able to tell us how to carefully look after them, how we keep them safe and what they need to stay healthy. They also discussed why their feathers are so soft and fluffy. 🐥👏🏻⭐️🐥👏🏻⭐️

 

7 Blue held a puppet show!

21st April 2023N Fada

This week we have been reading a lovely book called ‘Once upon a dragon’s fire’ by Beatrice Blue which inspired us to create our own stories about a dragon.   The children made their own puppets and held a puppet show to share their story.    We had a wonderful time and one of the children had so much fun he has made his own puppet show frame from cardboard so he can create more puppet shows at home.

 

A visit to Reception from a local author!

20th April 2023K Richardson

Today we had a very special visit. One of our parents came into school to talk to the children about a storybook she has written. It is called ‘The Little Falcon’. It is a very special story that is based on her son. In the story the bird cannot fly and is supported by Jodi. Jodi is a fantastic lady who runs marathons etc for Toby and sends him the medals. Toby, the author’s son, has cerebral palsy and we talked about some of the equipment that he uses to support him so he can be included and involved in so many activities. It was a fabulous afternoon and the children were able to talk about similarities, differences and why it is so important to be a good friend and look out for each other. There is a photo of the  QR code if you would like to buy a copy of this fabulous book 😊

 

 

 

Easter Fun in Reception!

30th March 2023K Richardson

This week we have read the Easter story and then used story stones to sequence it. We have made transient art Easter bunnies and eggs, used eggs to create number bonds of 10, bunny baskets and Easter nests and cards. We also used paint outside to create Easter eggs and wrote some amazing Easter captions, what a busy week 🐇❤️🥚🐇❤️🥚

 

A tasty treat !

9th March 2023Miss L Robinson

After reading ‘The tiger who came to tea’ in English, we decided to invite a different type of animal for tea. We thought about who to invite and made a list of things that we could have for tea. One of the suggestions was a jam sandwich. The children read and followed a set of instructions to help them make their own jam sandwiches. We wrote our own set of  instructions for others to follow.  The children said it was the best English lesson ever!

2 Red’s There’s An Alien In Your Book!

5th March 2023L Phillips

2 Red had a fantastic day celebrating World Book Day!

Using ‘There’s An Alien In Your Book!’ by Tom Fletcher we completed very creative tasks such as…

  • moulding our own aliens to match the mystery description using modelling clay,
  • creating our very own game of rhyming snap using creatures from our world,
  • designing a home, family and friends for the alien
  • and finally inventing and making a space ship to help our alien to return home.

Our day ended with some out of this world science!
