What's the time, Mr Wolf?

This week we have been learning about time in numeracy. We practiced setting our clocks to o'clock and half past the hour. We have also been counting down the days until Christmas on the calender.

In Literacy we have been talking about instrcutional texts, following instructions and starting to write them. On Thursday we made our Christmas cakes with Mrs Gregory and Mrs Hedges. We can't wait to ice them next week.

Another excellent week in Year one. In numeracy we have been revising positional language, directing each other around the playground.

We have also done lots of investigations into capacity, filling containers with water and sand.

We have sorted toys into different categories and created a toy museum, writing our own labels, tickets and signs. Mrs Roberts came to visit and was very impressed with our historical knowledge.


Mrs Thwaites and Ruby and Rhiannon from Year Six gave us a special treat - A performance of Cinderella in Mrs Thwaites' Pollocks Theatre, a traditional Victorian toy.

Bang and Crack!

Thank you to all the parents who came and helped and supported us at our recycled fashion show last term. Everyone was very impressed by our striking and imaginitive designs!













We learned a lot about different materials and what they can be used for and how to save the environment by thinking of the 'three rs' - reduce, reuse, recycle.

We have now made a start on our 'toys' topic, talking about and playing with our favourite toys.

During our first week back we enjoyed a rather wet trip to the new park at Gorse Marsh on Wednesday.








On Thursday we made 'firework pizzas' and 'mashmallow sparklers' with Mrs Gregory and watched some fireworks in the classroom on the white board! We dressed up in our hats and scarves to help it feel like bonfire night. Then we sang some camping songs!

'Remember, remember, the fifth of November, gunpowder treason and plot.'
