Year 1
We have had a sizzling hot week in Year 1 and with the temperature rising, the quality of work is continuing to rise as well. The children have been working hard in the beginning of their last term of the year and are looking to finish Year 1 with records highs.
Great Gardening Day! - Great job parents and children
Last week, we saw the blossoming community of children and parents put their green fingers to the test, pulled up the gardening gloves and grabbed their rakes and spades with the idea to turn around the school grounds. In year 1, the children looked to encourage the sunny weather by planting wildflowers and sunflowers. The children then worked on their room designing as we created 4 bug hotels with a range of differences which we have heard a huge buzz about. We have heard a group of crickets want to jump in as soon as possible. We want to thank everyone who took part in the day.
English - Giraffe's 'usually' can't dance.
For our final writing topic we have been looking at getting all our dance moves ready and dancing with the different animals of the savannah. Well, nearly all of them. Gerald the Giraffe is not feeling the music. To support this, we have been looking at the different ways that plants and other animals move with a focus on the 'ly' words (adverbs) to add more details to the movement that they are making. Now, the grass is waving slowly, the vines are hanging lazily and the birds are squawking loudly.
RE - One day I'm gonna be a really big star.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Leonel Messi, Taylor Swift, Josh Fiddon... Hang on. Wait a minute, Josh Fiddon isn't someone who is famous (yet). The teachers all dressed up as different celebrities and the children asked questions about why they are famous and looked at the reason they managed to become so well known. We also looked to see if there were any links between their journeys to fame. Maybe we can take some notes too.
