Y1: Gallery
Date: 12th Feb 2021 @ 2:30pm
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.

We have had a lovely afternoon in Y1, making fruit kebabs and salads using the designs we created last week. We used our cutting skills: bridge hold, fork hold and claw grip. The children who are working at home have also made some delicious looking kebabs too!
Our next job is to write our evaluations - what we liked and what we could improve...then we can send photos of our finished products to Tescos!!

Sensory investigation: fruit tasting!
Date: 29th Jan 2021 @ 11:04am
In Year 1, we carried out a sensory investigation - using adjectives to describe the appearance, texture and taste of different fruits to help us decide what we will include in our fruit salad/kebab next week.
Date: 11th Jan 2021 @ 11:01am
Year 1 have made a great start to their online / home learning.
They have been very busy working on lots of things - including listening to the story 'The Invisible String'. working on their number bonds, finding out about life in The Arctic, learning about The Seasons, making pictures and lists about things that make us happy and things that are beautiful in the world.
Here is just a small sample of some of the work we have been doing.

In our Science Lesson we have been learning all about Day and Night.
We know that we live on planet Earth and that the Earth spins around. When the sun shines on our part of planet Earth it is daytime. When the sun does not shine on our part of planet Earth it is nightime.
We also looked at different activities and sorted them into daytime, nightime or both.

In our PATHs Lesson today we have been learning that : Sharing is Caring.
Twiggle and Henrietta showed us how they share - then we played some games with our friends to show that we could share and play nicely with each other. It was fun

Why Is Jesus Special To Christmas?

Why Is Jesus Special To Christmas?
In our RE lessons we have been learning about why Jesus is special to Christmas. We have listened to The Nativity Story, then we have sequenced this in groups. We have also talked about why Jesus was a special baby and why he is special to Christmas.
Today, we have looked at lots of different types of Christmas cards - then we have sorted them in to groups - Religious / Not Religious. We were able to say why some cards had a religious picture and message and others did not.
Moving pictures: Aliens Love Underpants!
Date: 11th Dec 2020 @ 4:11pm
This half term we listened to the story 'Aliens Love Underpants', we looked carefully at how the illustrator had drawn each alien. Then we looked at some different books that contained levers and sliders. We learned how to make our own slider - by creating a slit - and levers - by using a split pin as a pivot. We designed our own moving alien picture - thinking carefully which materials we would use and writing them in a list. Using the skills we had been taught about sliders and levers, we made our designs thinking about how to make parts of our picture move. Finally we evaluated our finished products - saying what we liked about them and what we would improve; then we gave some feedback to a friend about theirs.

Today is Human Rights Day. Every class in the school have had an assembly to talk about celebrating this day as the day the declaration was agreed. In Year 1, we talked about the difference between wants and needs and decided which picture card to put in each group. Then we talked about the things we need being rights - we already know that children have rights and now we know that adults to do.

We have had a great time learning about writing computer programs for the BeeBots! We used directional language to describe where we wanted the BeeBot to move to: forwards, backwards, turn left and turn right. After that we had a go at predicting where it would move to following instructions we had been given. We know that a set of instructions for a computer is called an algorithm and that we must give each instruction clearly. If there is a problem with the instruction we must de-bug the program!
PATHs in Year 1 - Doing Turtle
Date: 25th Nov 2020 @ 5:12pm
In our last few PATHs lessons we have been learning all about 'doing turtle'. Twiggle and his friends have helped us to understand that 'doing turtle' helps you to calm - when you are feeling mad or angry. You have to:-
* Stop
* Count to 10
* Take a Deep Breath
* Say: The Problem Is ...
* Say: I am feeling ...
'Doing Turtle' can help you a lot.
In our provision area we have acted out when Twiggle was upset with Henrietta and some of us have completed a jigsaw all about 'Doing Turtle'.

In our Science lessons we have been learning all about the weather and the different seasons of the year. We know there are 4 seasons in the year - Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer. Today we have sang a song called: Seasons of the Year. Then we have worked together to put pictures into the different seasons.
Date: 19th Nov 2020 @ 5:00pm
In Year One, we have been learning lots through our PATHs lessons.
In our provision areas we have completed role-plays, made friendship flowers, completed feelings balloons and lots more - take a look at some of work.

Maths Fun – It’s All About The Sorting
In Year One we have been thinking about how we could sort objects / items and people into different groups. This morning we worked outside to sort ourselves into different groups:-
* Boys and Girls
* Cardigans or Jumpers
* Dresses or Trousers or Shorts or Pinafores or Skirts
* Tights or Socks
* Different Hair Colours
Then, we worked in smaller groups with our friends to sort lots of objects – into different colour groups and some of us even sorted our objects into different animal groups.
It was super fun 😊!
Date: 24th Mar 2020 @ 1:46pm
Our topic for this half term was : How do plants and animals help each other?
The children were asked to be creative for their home learning. Well done to Charlie for creating a lovely mini garden ... I hope it makes everyone smile!
Henry has been very busy too - he has created an Animal Fact File - have a read through of all the information. He has used to lots of skills to create his fact file - English (Reading and Writing), ICT and Science. Well Done Henry.
Gavin has also created his own miniature garden ... I think it is very colourful - what do you think? Well Done Gavin.
If any other children have completed their projects - please take photos and forward them to me in school and I will update our gallery.
Many thanks.

We have had another great session in Forest School today – even the rain didn’t put us off!
We have learnt how to use a Kelly Kettle and make a mini fire so we could have some hot chocolate – yummy! We also made badges from wood and built our own shelters – it was fun! Some of us got very muddy … the muddier the better!

The whole school had a brilliant time raising money for Sports Relief! Here are some action shots of our Year 1 children and their hula hooping skills!
Date: 11th Mar 2020 @ 4:04pm
We have had a great start to our Forest School sessions – although we didn’t escape some of the rain showers!
First of all we played a game to introduce ourselves – we had to use alliteration. Here are some of the names we used:-
Arthur Alligator
Ellie Elephant
Noah Newt
Henry Horse
Then, we played a game where we learnt all about predators and prey. We pretended to be sharks and fishes, deer and wolves and antelopes and cheetahs. After that we listened to a story all about wolves.
We have also made mini dens / shelters for a small animal.
Finally, we looked closely at some newly planted trees and we are going to observe how they grow over the next few months.
Take a look at some of our photos.

Year 1 - Our Trip to Chester Zoo
Date: 4th Mar 2020 @ 8:30pm
Year 1 had a wonderful day at Chester Zoo - as a start to our topic for this half term: How do plants and animals help each other?
When we arrived we took part in a workshop called "Curious Creatures". In the session we learnt all about nocturnal animals, big animals, fast animals, underwater animals and colourful animals. Year 1 even got to smell 'jaguar wee' and 'badger poo' - I think that we will remember that for a long time! Also, apparently elephants poo over 100kg every day - YUK!!!
After that we had a tour of the zoo and saw lots of animals - including the chimpanzees eating their lunch. We saw meerkats, giraffes, rhinos, monkeys, snakes, jaguars, cheetahs and many more ... but the highlight of the day was seeing the new baby elephant - it was being cared for by it's Mummy and Daddy.
It was a great day and all the children enjoyed it.
