Class 1 Blog

We started our day by listening to a story from our school virtual library. It is called ‘The Beautiful Blue Planet’ and is a lovely book to share with your child to generate discussion about looking after our Earth.

Then Mrs Holland came to talk about the email the office staff had sent Class 1. They set us the challenge of finding different ways to recycle/re-use the shredded paper generated in school. We had lots of fantastic ideas and made them into a book on Purple Mash (Look in your child’s work folder – Class – Year 1 -.Waste Day). We presented our book to Mrs Holland during our end of day assembly.

We also had just enough time to make some pictures using pencil shavings.

If you have any other ideas to help us to recycle/re-use our shredded paper please let us know.

We had a fantastic trip to London!

We did some sightseeing….

The Queen’s knickers and the Queen’s hat!!

We read these stories then created a new hat or a new pair of knickers for the Queen!

We made the Queen’s guards!

Our trip to the Theatre!

We enjoyed watching Aladdin the musical and had popcorn and juice in the interval!

We had a relaxing yoga session on the field!

Class one have continued to work incredibly hard over this last half term. We are very proud of all their achievements and their hard working attitudes!
We hope you have a wonderful break and we look forward to seeing you back for more fun and fantastic learning.

Our computer skills are really developing. Today we had a go at inserting images and practised our typing on the keyboard to write instructions for planting a seed.

We wanted to share some of the fantastic science work the children have been doing. Last week we worked as a key stage to find and then identify a range of common plants located on the school grounds. The children looked really closely at the different shapes and patterns on the leaves and started to make comparisons between the different plants.

The children are really enjoying taking part in the different activities each week. So far we have done construction, paper plate craft and nature collages. Here are some of the fantastic collages that were made.
