We have been working hard in our phonics sessions, practising the formation of our letters and reading sentences. Super stars 🌟
We have strategised in our counting collections library, using 100 squares and number tracks to help us count how many objects we have altogether…
We have been making marks in the ice, discussing and noticing the changes that we see…
We have put up our class Christmas tree 🎄 It was a team effort! 🥰😊 I think you will all agree it looks dazzling 👍
We have been practising counting objects accurately using our counting collections library. We choose a collection, strategise and plan how we will count, count the collection and then finally record our findings. The children have really impressed me, not only with their mathematical skills but also how well they support one another and work as a team 😀
You are all stars! 🌟
The children enjoyed bringing in their favourite books from home. They talked about their favourite part of the story. It was so nice hearing the children sharing their love of books…
This week we have been learning about Diwali. The children have listened to the story of Rama and Sita, made clay candle holders and took part in a Rangoli colouring competition. All the children took part in tasting some festival food such as naan bread, poppadoms and mango chutney. The poppadoms went down a treat with the children!
Happy Diwali! 😊🎆
Class 1 have enjoyed their weekly visit to our school library.
The children had great fun hunting for pumpkins this morning. We managed to find them all and each received a sweet treat 😊
We would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Jackson for organising this 👏
Today is World Mental Health Day, so in our crew sessions we discussed why it is important to talk about how we are feeling and what we can do to help ourselves feel good.
We decided to take our crew session outside as the sunshine and fresh air can help to us to feel happy. We listened to one another share how we were feeling this morning and then took part in some fun activities together. The children enjoyed collecting leaves and creating their own leaf rubbings using paper and wax crayons or using hole punches to cut out different shapes. What a lovely start to the day!
Today we have made bird feeders to put around our school grounds. We have been discussing the importance of taking care of the birds, especially at this time of year. Well done Class 1 👏 It was great exercise for our finger muscles too! 😊
We have had fun in maths today. We have been counting the hidden woodland creatures around the classroom. Great counting skills 😁🔢
Our new key text is ‘The Gruffalo’, so it was perfect having a visit to Squirrel Wood. We went on a Gruffalo treasure hunt…
We used our team building skills to build habitats for the animals in the Gruffalo…
We used clay to make some Gruffalo art…
We had fun around the fire pit. We ate popcorn and drank warm apple juice. We were amazing at following the fire pit rules…
The children behaved impeccably and we are very proud of them! A fun time was had by all! 😁🐿 xx
