What did the ladybird hear? Year 1 have been finding out all about it! We have loved reading the wonderful Julia Donaldson book ‘What the ladybird heard’. We have made posters and written our own version of the story.
We enjoyed programming BeeBots around a map using half and quarter turns in our directions.
We have also been amazed as we continue to watch our plants grow.

We have begun our new topic ‘The Great Outdoors’ and have thoroughly embrace the outside. We have been planting pea, cornflowers, cress, spinach and bean seeds and the Year 1 area is looking like a greenhouse!
We have been slowly taking over the Mary Garden and the children have been taking their learning out into the sunshine.

The Amazing Outdoors HL pyramid

It was great to see so many refreshed faces yesterday and the children had lots of stories to tell about their Easter holidays.

This half term we will be learning about habitats. The home learning pyramid is attached and will also be sent home in your child’s home learning adventure book.

I have also attached the RE home learning, also in your child’s home learning adventure.

We look forward to updating you all about our time in school soon.

Mrs. Luter

We have had a super week in school with all the children working incredibly hard especially with remembering capital letters! All the staff in Year One are delighted with the commitment and motivation the children have for their learning!

This week we have been ordering the months of the year and the days of the week.

Next week we will be writing instructions and learning how to represent bigger numbers into tens and units.

We hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

The Year One Team

We hope that you have all enjoyed this weeks learning. We loved seeing all your favourite toys and were delighted with the writing your toys inspired. We also made sandwiches to share with our toys.  In Numeracy we have been weighing and measuring and our toys even helped with that!

At the moment we are practising spelling the days of the week correctly.

Next week, we will carry on with our Toys topic and are turning all our focus to Lego!

We will also be developing our ability to tell the time and draw clock faces correctly.

We hope you have a fantastic weekend and we look forward to seeing you all next week.

The Year One team

Hello Lovely Year 1,
On Tuesday 23rd February, we would love you to bring in your favourite character toy. We will be using them to help our learning. Here are some ideas about what you could bring in:
*a doll
* a superhero character
*a character from your favourite book
* a vehicle
* a soft toy

Please do not bring in anything with a screen such as a tablet or anything like Lego which has small parts which could easily get lost. We all look forward to meeting your favourite toys!

Thankyou,
Year 1 team.

We have had such a fantastic start to 2016 and we have all thoroughly enjoyed our ‘tale to tell’ topic about traditional stories.

Next half term we have a new topic ‘Toys’ There have already been some toy shops start to appear in our role play areas! Keep checking the blog for information to do with this topic as we may well need you to bring in your favourite toy from home! We will also upload the Home Learning pyramid to give you some ideas for over the half term break.

This week we say goodbye to the student teacher who has been with us this half term , Miss Fooks. I know everyone who has worked with Miss Fooks or has been taught by her will be sad to see her leave and we wish her much success as she completes her teacher training.

We hope you have a wonderful half term full of fun and rest,

Mrs Osborne, Mrs Knight and MIss Heaton
