Year 1 Weekly Blog 30.6.23

We have been working very hard this week. We are looking foward to a very exciting week next week!

Maths: We have been looking at subtraction and making up our own number stories using the Rekenreks.

English: We made our posters independently I was verry impressed! We have started our train topic we read the books: ‘How to Train a Train’ and ‘Thomas goes Crash’ we have found out lots of interesting facts out about trains.

Science: we discussed signs of Summer and took a picture with our class tree, then compared our tree in the different seasons. We talked about the changes that happened each season and remembered that we were surprised during Spring because there were still no leaves on our tree! This was because it was so cold in Spring, it took a lot longer for the leaves to grow back on our tree we are pleased to see they have grown back in Summer.

Mass: yesterday it was lovely to walk with our Year 5 buddies, and the rest of the school to attend our reflective mass for the feast day of St Peter and St Paul.

Upcoming Trips:

We have lots of exciting trips coming up.

Ridgeway Farm:

On Tuesday 4th July we will be visiting Ridgeway farm, as part of our Science, Geography and DT topic.

If you have said you are bringing a packed lunch please bring it in, everyone else I have ordered school lunches.

Please wear appropriate clothing for the farm (non-school uniform) and bring a waterproof coat as we will be out in all weathers, it is recommended that you wear wellington boots, or old outdoor shoes.

On Thursday 6th July in the morning we will be visiting St Annes Farmers Market, we will meet and chat to the different stall holders to find out more about where their produce has come from.

On Tuesday 11th July we are going to look at St Annes Railway station and walk to the front to ride the miniature train and have an ice-cream. This is linked to our English topic Trains.

The total cost for these trips will be £13.50, Mrs Hodges has put the trip on Parent Pay.

Let’s Celebrate:

Well done to our awardees, a Bobby Bee and Sadie Spider for great enthusiasm in lessons and for not giving up.

Henry is going home with this person for a brilliant week in school, you have really been focused and a great role model.

Reading Challenge: Well done to these children who received their certificates, there are so many that are very close, keep up the hard work :). We have our first Emerald award too!

Sports Day is on Thursday 6th July at 1:30, we have been practising and are excited for you to come and watch us.

Reminders:

  • Preparing for the weather: As the weather is improving children are allowed to bring in a sunhat, which can be worn at break times and any sun cream that is brought in must be applied by the child themselves, roll on sun creams are easier to apply. We also ask that no sunglasses are to be brought into the school. Thank you.

  •  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 can you double check that all items of clothing are labelled.

  •  Please bring in spare clothes for your child.

  • Please check the home learning section for the homework,


    Have a lovely weekend

Miss Drummond, Miss Johnson and Mrs Carragher
