Year 1 Weekly Blog 21.4.23

This week we discovered a time machine in the classroom with some footprints, we discussed what had happened! We thought it could be the evil pea again or maybe a dinosaur. We decided to use the iPad to record to see if we could capture our guest. We found out we had a dinosaur in our classroom! We pretented to be the dinosaur and imagined coming out of the time machine and how we would move around the classroom. Then wrote sentences about what had happened and how we could get the dinosaur back in the time machine so he could go back home.

Maths: We have been focusing on shapes, we had different challenges to complete at the end of the week to give us the opportunity to discuss these shapes and even make their own in a range of ways.

Computing: we have been looking at grouping and sorting shapes and making our own pictograms. Please can you continue to practise logging on and off Purple Mash, the children’s log in cards are in the reading books or if can’t find yours please let me know and I can give you a new card.

Today Steve from CORAM life education came to speak to us about how we can keep our bodies healthy, We met Harold and helped him pack a healthy lunch. We have been set a challenge to bring in healthy food for our snacks. Your child has also brought a leaflet home with more information.

Let’s Celebrate:

Yesterday we were very lucky that Diane from RWI could come in and give us extra training, she worked with these children and they were super stars. They had a RWI session with lots of adults watching! They have all been awarded Cooper Crab certificates for being focused during the full session they were brilliant listeners and learners and Tommy Turtles for being brave and not being distracted by all the adults in the room, well done :).

Henry is going home with this person for a super week well done :)

Reading Challenge:

Well done to these children, they were announced in our assembly today, keep it up it would be wonderful if everyone could get their bronze certificate.

Reminders:

  • Please can you try and bring in healthy snacks for your children to eat at break times, we always have fruit in school that the children can have.

  •  Please bring in spare clothes for your child.

  • Please check the home learning section for the homework,

  • Please make sure you don’t bring any nuts in for snack or in packed lunches, thank you.

  • Please can you ensure that your children do not bring any valuables into school as they can easily go missing.



    Have a weekend
