Art competition

We got the golden boot this week because everybody in Y1 walked to school on Wednesday.

We had an art competition. We had to draw a picture of a garden. Miss Linton and Mrs Hicks chose a girl and boy winner. If you want to see the winning pictures they will be in the window of CJ Hole on North Street during the Southville Arts Trail.

PE and playing with the fountain

On Wednesday we went outside to use the fountain. The fountain expert showed us how it worked. The fountain sang Girls Aloud and Take That to us. We had lots of fun. We ran around the fountain, pretending to be aeroplanes to try and get the jets to go higher.
On Tuesday we went on the big apparatus, we were very excited. We climbed up really high, we did some jumping and we did some balancing. We felt a bit nervous but we had fun and we were all really brave.

This week Y1 won the golden lunchbox because they behaved the best in the dining hall and in the playground.

Time capsule

We are putting the time capsule under the fountain. Inside the time capsule there is a newspaper, a school jumper, some certicates and badges, some children's work, some photos and a film about the school.
The time capsule wouldn't fit so they had to unscrew the part where the speaker was.
Today everybody is going to finally see the fountain being turned on. We are really excited.
Hope everybody has a great holiday.

Visitors and fountains

Jessica's Grandad came to show us some seeds and plants. We asked him lots of questions about our topic. We found out that you can get plants to grow fast by putting something over the top to protect them.

On Tuesday the fountain arrived. Some of us saw it being delivered. We all helped to design the fountain when we were in YR. This is all the big and heavy bits but it isn't finished yet.

Easter and weighing

We are busy making photo frames and cups for Easter.

We are busy weighing things. We weighed books, a wooden brick and a car. We used balances and cubes. We had to estimate first.

We are excited because it is Easter, happy Easter to everyone who reads this.

Tag tails and gardening

We are playing tag tails. It is fun. Tag tails is a game where you have to get a tail from the other team. We wanted to see which fruit team was the best in y1 and yr and y2. The winning team in Y1 was bananas. The winning team in Luckwell was strawberries.






On Wednesday and Thursday we made some gardens. It was fun. We had to decorate dishes. In our gardens we had grass, stones, ponds and some people had swings.

The Y1 star of the week was Millie.

French and lots of plants

Last week Julie came from France to our school.
We learnt some French songs and did some French actions to go with them. In assembly today we said au revoir to Julie.














We are growing some cress seeds to check what they need to grow.
Green group tested if seeds need water to grow.
Yellow group tested if seeds would grow in the dark.
Red group tested if the seeds grew better on cotton wool or soil.
Blue group tested if they grew better in hot places or cold places.






We collected some leaves from the playground and looked under a microscope at them. Then we drew them.
