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’.
We have celebrated our crew champions in our Community Meeting today! It was lovely to hear crew leaders and children talk about each others howls and character traits.
Well done to all this week’s recipients.
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.
We had a visit before our march from Mr West and Mr McLaughlin – from Askern CRY Food Bank and St. Peter’s Church to give us more information about the foodbank we are supporting and the difference we are going to make to our community.
We have had a great week exploring Pop Art. We have looked at pieces of Pop Art by famous artists and said we we notice and praise about them. We then used pencils, paints and felt tip pens to start to create our own versions of Pop Art. We can’t wait to finish our posters, they will look amazing.
We were really lucky this week that National Poetry Day was on the same day as our community meeting! In crew we have been sharing, writing and performing poetry in preparation for today. Instead of our usual ‘news from the crews’ we had our very own poetry jam. It was brilliant to hear the children performing the poetry they have been enjoying this week to all of the other crews.
Thank you for an awesome community meeting 😀

Today we went for a walk around our beautiful grounds. We looked at the changes that are happening around us now it is Autumn. What a great way to start the day.
Today we were very lucky to receive a visit from Mr West, our local Baptist Minister. He came to speak to us about harvest time and also to speak about the local heroes who work at the food bank in Askern. It made us think about all of the things that we are grateful and thankful for.
We had a great morning and thank Mr West for spending time with us.
In Year One we have been working really hard in maths. We have been counting sets of objects and representing one more in different ways. We have also been solving problems and working through reasoning activities…..we have been amazing.
