WORLD BOOK DAY
For World Book Day, we focussed on a book called 'Dreamer' by Brian Moses and Bee Willey.
The book had a lot of really interesting and important themes that we discussed in class. As a class, we decided to focus on one theme - Whaling. We researched 'Whaling' and what it meant as well as looking into past and present events around this subject.
We discussed the features of a newspaper report and then wrote our own report about 'Whaling'. As well as the reports, we decided to create our own Moari Whale art which links to a English unit that we have just finished.

We celebrated World Book Day by coming to school in our pyjamas to fit in with the book 'Dreamer'.
The Dreamer is a written and illustrated picture book about a world where we all care for each other, for animals, plants and places.
This book inspired us to think about endangered animals.
We also enjoyed a Teams meeting with the children at home.

We read the book Dreamer by Brian Moses. We then thought about different ways that we could look after our planet. We decided that we shouldn’t throw litter, we shouldn’t waste water or electricity. We are going to try hard to remember to put our rubbish in the bin, to recycle, to turn off the tap when we are brushing our teeth and to turn off lights.
We then turned junk into other useful things. We made pencil pot holders from toilet roll tubes and used different plastic containers to make some plant pots. We also made some dreamcatchers.
Some of our friends at home looked at their favourite books, created new characters and made their own book.

Today was World Book Day and our focused book was 'Dreamer'. The children in school and at home read the book and then we looked at endangered animals around the world. We researched why they were endangered and how many were left in the world. All the children really enjoyed learning about this and were shocked at how many animals are at the risk of becoming extinct. We then created fact files of some of the animals and created our own Dreamer story. Here are some pictures of some of the work done in school. Some of the children at home are bringing in their work to display on Monday. We also had a lovely chat with some of the children at home and played 'Who am I?'.

In Year 1, we have celebrated World Book Day by coming to school in our PJ's - it has been a fun day!
We have shared the story of "Dreamer" and talked about our dreams for a better world - take a look at some of our dreams / thoughts.
Then, we have created bookmarks - using the scenes from the story as our inspiration.
We have also talked about how we can care for our world so that we put a smile on the face of the Earth - just like the little boy in our story.

Today, we celebrated World Book Day in lots of exciting ways. We enjoyed listening to our shared story 'DREAMER' and talked about our dreams for a better world, we made dream catchers and created new pages of our own for the book. We enjoyed playing a game of 'Who am I?' on TEAMS to find out more about some endangered animals. Finally, we ended our day by reading our favourite stories.

This half term Y1 have been looking after 'Baby Zorg' - who crashed into our school building a few weeks ago.
We have been learning all about our local area and the country we live in - so we could try and help 'Baby Zorg' send a message to his Mum and Dad.
This morning, he sent us a note to tell us 'I miss home' - so today we have made some posters and messages in the hope that his Mum and Dad can come and find him - as he is waiting by the office with Mrs Marshall.
Take a look at some of our messages and posters.

Tuesday 9th February was Safer Internet Day. This year's theme was ' An internet we trust: exploring reliability in the online world'. We took part in lots of different activities both in school and at home, such as watching the BBC live lesson; taking part in an assembly and creating posters and presentations about how to stay safe online.
The main messages are:
*Never share your personal details (address, date of birth, email address, passwords) online.
*Only use websites which you know - if you are unsure, speak to an adult.
*Don't click on pop-ups or adverts or enter competitions without checking with a trusted adult.
*If you receive a chain message - delete it and don't share it.
*Don't arrange to meet someone you don't know in real-life.
*If something worries you, upsets you or just doesn't seem right - ALWAYS tell a trusted adult at home or in school.

Kapa Haka
As part of our English topic, we have been looking at the story 'Whale Rider' which is a Maori tale. Because of this, we have been researching Maori culture and traditions.
One of the main traditions in Maori culture is the 'Haka', made famous by the 'All Blacks' rugby team. We have attempted to create our own version. Here it is!
