The children were very excited today to have a special visitor in our classes today. Teddy is our school dog and he will be based in the compass room during the day.

Here is the curriculum letter for this term. We hope you enjoy looking at all the fun things we have planned for the children!

Year 1 Curriculum Letter Spring

This week the children have been learning about the emergency services. We spoke about what an emergency is and different types of emergencies.

1HT had lots of fun pretending to be soldiers from the war and answering questions we had created as a class.

Here is our class timetables. We are looking forward to using our afternoons to explore and prepare some exciting art for our showcase week next week.

Here is our class timetables. We shall also be getting in the festive spirit and introducing our Christmas songs ready for our Christmas Carol Concert in a couple of weeks.

In P4C this week the children were thinking about and discussing the different types of weather and why they like one type of weather more than another. The children enjoyed sharing their ideas and voting by standing in different parts of the classroom.

Buddy Reading

We are very excited because our buddy reading begins next week and we have been paired with Year 5. This is an opportunity for the children to share the books they love by either reading to their year 5 buddy or having the story read to them. Please find our updated timetables below:

In Maths this week the children have been practically exploring different ways to make 10.  They have been using a variety of resources, including a part whole model to help them understand the patterns of making 10.

Here is a youtube video we have been using to remember the patterns:

Forest School this term is now 1B on a Friday. Please ensure your child has appropriate clothing in school for the changing weather. We are sure they are going to have lots of fun!

Wow what a fun term it has been!

Next term we will be moving onto exploring number bonds within place value in Maths and the children will be exploring the story of the Three Little Pigs in English through a non-chronological report and  creating their own “defeating the monster” story. We will also be introducing Religious Education into our afternoon sessions and Gymnastics into our indoor PE sessions.

Forest School will be on a Friday for 1B this term.

We are so looking forward to hearing all about what the children get up to over the half term break and what challenges they set themselves from our half term homework.

Please find below our class timetables for next term.
