A musical Week (written by Year 1)


We have had a musical week of dancing fun, singing and listening to different types of music. For our dance workshop, Rachel taught us how to warm up and 'get your blood moving around' (Lainnie) Here we are learning some Street Dance sequences. Some of us may go to the Street Dance classes.




We had a man called Celsa, from Mozambique, South Africa, playing the drums, singing and telling us stories about African animals. We joined in with the drumming.


We had extra Golden Time this week for winning the Golden Lunchbox and for being good at lunchtime. This makes us all feel happy and Miss Welton is very proud. We are looking forward to our Recycled Fashion show next week.

Playspace! (written by the children)

We went on the coach to Playspace. We were very excited and loud!




We drew and coloured plates of healthy food.


Here we are sitting quietly, listening to the lady.


Yee - Ha! Here we are going down the slide (AImee).


Everyone had a medal.

Here are the people who got the prizes for the pedometer challenge and healthy eating plates.




We had lots of fun at Playspace.

A Load of Old Rubbish...

This week, we had a visit from Heather. Heather is the Caretaker of our school and she told us what happens to the recycling that we do in the classroom and how our fruit waste becomes compost. She works hard to make sure that everything that we recycle gets taken to the right place.




We've been using our imaginations to think of interesting characters and settings for stories. Liam invented a story about Miss Welton climbing up a beanstalk in the allotment and finding a magic key to rescue us all! What a fantastic imagination Liam has got!


Because we got all 16 (pretend) sweets in our class jar, at the end of the week,we wanted to have a fancy dress party as a treat. The classroom was filled with lots of interesting characters! There were 3 Batmen and even a Batgirl!.




We had some party food and played some party games and had a really fun afternoon. When we get another 16 sweets in the jar, we have decided that as a treat, we will bring in our own toys to play with during Golden Time.
