This week Year 1 had a surprise visit; I wonder if you can guess who it was…
He has two floppy ears, a twitchy nose and a new blue jacket with beautiful brass buttons. That’s right, it was Peter Rabbit!
He was very mischievous and squeezed under the gate of our outdoor classroom but he didn’t come for carrots and radishes, instead, he left some clues which led us to the words he had hidden outside!
Being the enthusiastic Bobby Bee’s that they are, Year 1 used these words to write some super sentences. The were so focused and had so many fantastic ideas they just couldn’t stop writing! They were so proud of their work and can’t wait for grown ups to see it during our book visit next week.
What have we been learning this week?
In Maths we have been exploring measurements and had great fun measuring different objects around the classroom using both standard and non-standard units of measure. We wrote comparative sentences to compare the objects we had measured and noticed that the language we uses changed depending on if we were describing the height or the length.
In Science we have begun our new ‘plants’ topic and started with a hunt around our school to see what different plants we could find. Then we looked closely at different types of plants and thought about the similarities, differences and how we can describe them.
In RE we listened to the story of Jesus travelling to Jerusalem. We thought about what we would do if someone special came to our school and how we would make them feel welcome. We talked about the story together and discussed what Jesus’s followers did to make him feel welcome.
Hip-Hip-Hooray!
Certificates:
Enthusiastic Bobby Bee’s: Congratulations Year 1!
This week it was too difficult for Mrs Hartley and Miss Liddell to choose just two children to receive the certificates. We were blown away by how focused Year 1 were during their English lesson on Thursday, everyone produced a fantastic piece of writing; they were so focused and wrote with great enthusiasm and determination. Therefore, we decided that the whole class deserve the certificate this week and have displayed it proudly in our classroom!
Huge congratulations Year 1, we cannot wait to see what you achieve next!
Walk for Hunger
Year 1 continue to be so determined in their mission to support Walk for Hunger and have not let the rainy weather dampen their space walks! We have had some wonderful class discussions about how we can show our gratitude for the things that we have and what we can do to help others.
