This week we have been identifying and researching different animal habitats. We worked hard to think of some amazing words to describe the habitats. We used words such as ‘dusty’, ‘gloomy’, ‘dark’, ‘hot’ and ‘icy’. We then visited the library to collect a selection non-fiction books to research the animals that are best suited to each habitat. We made posters to represent our findings. We have really enjoyed learning about habitats and are looking forward to writing our setting descriptions tomorrow.

Our Key Stage One children did two amazing performances of ‘A Miracle in Town’. They sang beautifully, spoke clearly and performed confidently to their audiences. We are very proud of each and every one of you!!

We were super excited this morning to take part in our very special assembly. Mr West visited our school again and this time he taught us about the Christmas celebrations. We enjoyed acting out the Christmas story, singing Christmas songs and discussing the meaning of Christmas. We loved learning about this special festival and we are looking forward to exploring it further in our RE lessons. Thank you Mr West for making this time of year even more magical for our school!

Thank you to everyone who came to our presentation of learning this afternoon. It was amazing to see the children talking so confidently about their expedition so far.

In Year One we have been thinking about the past and how things were different when our older relatives were children. We looked at toys and other everyday household objects and sorted them onto a Venn diagram. This caused lots of discussions and we used words such as ‘then’, ‘now’, ‘past’, ‘present’ and ‘a long time ago’.

Today the KS1 children and families were extremely kind as they donated many items to be given to the Askern CRY Foodbank. We were overwhelmed by the generosity of our families and look forward to seeing our foodbank experts very soon to give them our donations.
