Well it has truly been a crazy, busy week in Year One! It started off by finding a map in the classroom on Monday! We weren’t sure where the map had come from or what we would find but it was certainly exciting! We generated some ideas of what we could find, then got out the shovels and spades, followed the map to the X and started digging! We couldn’t believe it, we found buried in the mud a very very old toy. It had a note from the little boy who buried it and information about the toy buried. In English next week we are going to create our own information page about a toy just like the little boy did.

On Tuesday we had the phonics workshop. Thank you to all parents who attended. We hope everyone who wasn’t able to attend received the powerpoint slides. You will also find in your childs bag phase 5 red flash cards and a list of potential games and activities you can use to do.

Also on Tuesday we had 6 children from our year group who took part in a racket skills tournament. Out of all of the other schools who attended… St Peters won!!! We are very proud of the team we sent to represent us. Well done Year One!

And last but not least, we have ended the week with a very special visitor. We have been very lucky to have Beryl, who used to own her very own toy museum bring in her collection of toys! It was such a surprise to the children who came back from assembly to find the classroom had turned into an old toy museum. Some of the toys that Beryl brought in were around 150 years old. She even let the children hold and play with these precious old toys! We are so grateful for her bringing them in and sharing them with us. Most people will never hold and play with such old and precious toys so we are very lucky.
