Cadbury’s World in Year 1
Year 1 had the best time at Cadbury world yesterday. We learnt all about how chocolate is made and went on two very exciting rides! The children then got to try some melted chocolate and learnt about the history of Cadbury.
World Book Day reading buddies
To celebrate World Book Day, Year 5 went to read with Year 1. The children loved sharing stories together. Who would have thought that The Cat in the Hat and Harry Potter would ever meet.
3D Shapes in Year 1
Change starts with us ……..
last week we celebrated anti-bullying week with a theme of ‘change starts with us’ we though about how we could make our school community a happier place for everyone.
It was lovely to see the children focusing on being kind, paying each other compliments, offering support, praising effort and SMILING! The children have made a pledge to make a small change to their behaviour in school that could make a huge difference to someones day.
The children also wore odd socks to celebrate diversity and to highlight that we are all unique and special. 
The start of the final term in Year One…
Spelling Bee Champion…
Wow! This week we had… 9 spelling bee champions, each getting 5/5 on their spelling challenge!! Well done!!
Talk for Writing
This morning we have been busy changing our current class text ‘Meerkat Mail’, to tell our own journey story. We have each changed the main character and some of us have also changed the setting. When we had finished our story maps, we retold our version of the story to our friends.
Fun at ‘Love Books’
The UK
Our new topic is ‘The UK and Far Away’. This week in our Geography lesson, we used different maps and atlases to locate each of the 4 countries of the UK and identify their flags.
Length and Height
This week in maths, we have been working on length and height. We have been using different words to compare the length and height of people and object and also used concrete resources, using both standard and non-standard units of measurement.
Special Delivery…
At the start of the week, Mrs Bennett arrived with a large envelope for Nursery. We opened the envelope to find a letter from a meerkat called Sunny… all the way from the Kalahari desert! Sunny sent a copy of ‘Meerkat Mail’ with his note, for us to learn all about his adventures in our new English focus text.
Thumbs Up Thursday
Huge thank you to one of our fantastic and very talented parents for our impromptu live music session! He played guitar for us and sang us some beautiful songs… it was an amazing start to our day!
St George’s Day
Our new topic is ‘The UK and Far Away’. As part of this topic, we will be learning about all of the countries in the UK. To celebrate St George’s Day today, we learnt about the story of St George and the dragon and how he sailed the seas to defeat a dragon and save a princess.
In small groups, we acted out the story. We each took on a different role and shared the story with the class. There were some very dramatic performances… great work Year One :).
Representing numbers and more/ less using different methods
Our current focus in maths is place value to 50. We have been learning how to represent numbers to 50 using a variety of different representations, including concrete, pictorial and written methods.
We have been comparing numbers and objects and developing our reasoning and problem solving skills to explain our ideas and answers.
