We had fun during our family learning session this afternoon when our grown ups joined us in class to find out the title of our new expedition ‘Ready, Steady, Grow! How will I be the healthiest version on me?’ We planted cress heads and peas and can’t wait to watch them grow.
After reading our new core text ‘Oliver’s Vegetables’ we have been finding out all about spinach. In our tasting session everyone was willing to have a try and some of us were even surprised that we liked it! We identified the features of fact files in preparation for writing some of our own. Finally, we ended the afternoon with a lovely art lesson and gallery walk to look at everyone’s first drafts. We can’t wait to have a go at a second draft.
Class 3 have been working with their talk partners to prepare for our Student Led Conferences next week. We are really looking forward to welcoming our grownups into school and sharing our learning so far in Year 1.
Our next musician of the week is … Bob Marley!

As part of our expedition, one of our ongoing strands is going to be Music. To help us ensure the children are exposed to a wide range of musicians and genres, both past and present, we are going to be having a musician of the week.Â
We will be listening to music from the artist/s each morning as the children enter the classroom and we will be learning more about the artist as the week goes on.
Each week we will add a playlist to our website and ClassDojo pages, this will enable you to share in the Musician of the Week and listen along at home too!
We had a great time this morning dancing around the classroom to our first musician/s – Abba!
Enjoy,
Mrs Parsons xx
It has been a truly magical morning for the children and their parents celebrating Christmas festival with us. The children were absolutely amazing acting out with confidence and spreading their joy and happiness around. Well done everybody!
We have had a lovely week in our crew reading books with our partners and looking at our beautiful work. We enjoyed our story time and a warm cup of hot chocolate during our outdoor crew session.
Crew Goodyer have enjoyed the outdoors this week creating some beautiful Autumn leaf collages with Mrs Jackson.
We had an amazing day at Conisbrough Castle and learnt so much about it’s history from our expert guide Janet.
We explored inside the stone keep and saw Lord Hamlin and Lady Isabelle’s private rooms and chapel.
We even climbed to the top to see how far the guards could see when they were defending the castle.
After lunch we listened to a story about castle life and heard about the people who would have lived and worked there, we all enjoyed dressing up and getting into character.
We’ve learnt so much to help us along in our expedition ‘From Rags to Riches: What Lies Within the Castle Walls?’
Class 3 have been astounding me with their sorting and counting skills this week. They have been finding different ways to sort objects and described their groups to their partners.
They they showed me how wonderfully they can count by organising their collections and recording in different ways.
Well done everyone, you demonstrated great team work and proved that you really are magic mathematicians!
