What a great day at Austerfield for Year One….

2nd May 2023Emma Powell

Today we have been explorers on our fieldwork! We started the day by learning about some famous explorers. We then went on a journey around the nature reserve and found lots of interesting pieces of nature. We used binoculars, magnifying glasses and information sheets to learn about trees, plants and wildlife all around the reserve. After lunch we went on an orienteering adventure and we used maps and a compass to find different markers around the nature reserve. It was a really enjoyable day.

Year 1 had an amazing time visiting Austerfield Study Centre. We were very excited to join orienteering and woodland explore sessions. The children were brilliant listening and following instructions well, showing their interest and enthusiasm making Norton School super proud. Well done everybody.

This week the children have really impressed me with their maths skills. We have been finding pairs of numbers that make 10. We have used numicon and multilink to help us find all our number bonds to 10. This is us working hard in Maths this week…

This week we have been historians researching the time line of King Charles III and exploring his family tree.

We have also been design technologists researching coins in preparation for designing our own coronation commemorative coins.

We are storytellers.

Nursery have been immersed in the story of Little Red Riding Hood this week. We have been identifying the main characters, thinking and talking about what they are like and comparing the Wolf and Red Riding Hood. We have been retelling the story in a host of ways including sequencing using story stones…

We have experimented with role play and acted out the roles of our key characters in small groups using story language and we were fabulous!! Look out for our videos on Dojo!

Once upon a time…

This week we have been reading ‘Little Red Riding Hood’.

We thought about how Red Riding Hood travelled to her Granny’s house and made maps of her journey…

We enjoyed acting out the story in our story circle using props 😁 We had some great performances 👏
