Apologies!!! Back for the last couple of weeks in Year 1...

Firstly, may I apologise to all those avid 'Year 1 Bloggers', I have been experiencing 'technical' problems and have had trouble both downloading the pictures and accessing the Blog site. So, without further delay, I will briefly allow Year 1 to fill in you in, with regard to what we've been up to since we've been gone from the cyberwaves!


We have fairies at the bottom of the garden, (and not just fairies, but goblins, pixies, elves, giants...) well, not just at the bottom of the garden, but in a corner of our classroom! We made some fantastically creative fairy gardens and have lots of fun playing in the fairy glen.

In Number work, we having been measuring using rulers, weights and measuring jugs. Here we are concentrating very hard while we use our rulers to measure things in centimetres and use scales to weigh objects around the classroom.

In Literacy, we have been reading, writing and acting Traditional stories and Fairytales as part of our Fairy themed topic. Here we are acting out some traditional tales in groups...

... well, quite traditional - have you ever heard of a two - headed Little Red Riding Hood before?!

We chose our own props to make our acting more interesting and 'real'.

Year 1 were fantastic when they performed their May Day dance. Miss Welton was so proud of them, especially as she has two left feet! We enjoyed the dancing very much and were very impressed with Year 6's May Pole dancing.

We learnt a lot during Healthy Schools Week, especially during an A-Life workshop. The whole school took part in a morning of workshops and we learnt all about how to eat healthy foods, drink lots of water and take regular exercise. Did you know that one glass of Coke has 8 SPOONFULS of sugar in it! Mr Adams, who taught the workshops, told us all how important it is to brush your teeth properly, two times a day.

In the afternoon, we did an exercise session with Mr Adams. It was hard work! We were all sweating and out of breath, but we enjoyed it very much. It was good to get the blood pumping around our bodies.

Finally, we all had a great time on Sports Day. Miss Welton couldn't be there, but we all tried our hardest at our races. As Aimee said, ' it's not about who wins, it's all about having fun and taking part'. The whole class were given a Star of the Week certificate for trying so hard and for being such good sports.
