getting sticky

This week we carried on making our photo frames. This is some children sticking the pieces of wood together using card triangles. It was very tricky and we had to keep sticking them back together again.

In PE we played football. We worked with a partner, we had to dribble the ball round our partner and then shoot a goal through their legs. We had fun.

In history we looked at a BBC website to find out what Victorian houses were like.

This week we won the golden boot. We won the golden boot because nearly everyone in Y1 walked to school on Wednesday.

We sawed some wood to make a photo frame, next week we are going to stick the wood together. We had to measure the wood first.

On Thursday we all enjoyed looking at some maps on the computer. Some of us found our houses and we also went to Egypt and saw the pyramids.

Sports Day

On Wednesday we did sports day. These are photos of Y1 running the flat race and the egg and spoon race. We also did a skipping race, a sack race and a relay race. All our mums and dads came to watch. We all had ice lollies. There was also a Mums race, dads race and toddlers race. We all had fun and we all got really hot. Yellow sports day house won the competition.

PE Week

This week was PE week so we did lots of different sports activities.

On Monday Debbie came to do some exercise with us. We were patting our heads and rubbing our tummies to exercise our brains.
On Tuesday we did May Day dances with our partners. At the end we got our Mums and Dads to dance.

On Wednesday we mixed up with Y2. The PE games we played were fun. These children are playing a car game called Beep Beep.

On Friday morning the whole school did a mix up. We played lots of different PE games.

On Friday afternoon we watched two men doing some judo. It's a bit like wrestling. Some of us had a go.

We have all been DASH pupils this week!

being scientists and authors

This week we have been working really hard to write our doodling stories. We imagined we were going to another world like sweet world or dinosaur world and then we wrote about our adventure.

We are trying to get a light to come on. We used 2 wires, a battery and a bulb. To turn the light on we needed to get the metal parts to touch.
We hope everybody has a good holiday. Remember it is PE week the first week back so you will need your PE kits and water bottles all week.

Lots of water

This week we all did some paper weaving. We had to go over and under with the strips of card. It was hard, tricky and confusing, but we all got there in the end.
On Tuesday we all worked outside with a partner to measure capacity. We had to find out how much water different bottles could hold. We all got a little bit wet but luckily it was very sunny.

summer at last!!

At last a sunny week so outside PE!! In PE this week we have been practicing our tennis skills. We have been learning how to keep the ball bouncing by keeping the racket flat and really concentrating. It was hard. In Science we were using a torch to find out which materials let light through and which materials blocked the light completely. We all found it a bit tricky to record this information in a table.
This week we have also been learning how to mix shades of colour, using white. The pictures we did will be on the wall soon.

Finally this week we won the golden lunchbox for great behaviour at lunchtimes. Well done everyone!!
