This is Y1 showing their special objects. We all brought something in and we showed each other and explained why they were special.

This is some children colouring and glittering their photo frames all ready for parents evening.

We are showing the rest of the school our photo frames.

In the book bags tonight there is an important letter, please make sure you read it.

A sporty week and lots of helpers

This week Y1 have been really lucky as they have had lots of extra helpers. Some Y10 girls from Ashton Park have been at Luckwell doing their work experience and we have really enjoyed having them working with us. We have been busy making our photo frames and they are now almost finished, just a bit of sparkle to go!

This week has been quite a sporty one for Y1. On Monday we played Tag Tails as part of a virtual festival against lots of other schools in Bristol. Well done to the winners Strawberries. On Wednesday we had our last tennis coaching session with Pete. He has been really impressed by our skills and hopes we keep up our tennis playing.

The final event of the week was Sports Day. We all tried really hard and had a fun afternoon. Congratulations to Greens, who were the overall winners.

May Dancing and new teachers

We were all very excited today to meet our new teacher for Y2 Miss Morgan. We went to Y2's classroom this afternoon and chose some of our new topics for Y2. The topics we chose were Brazil and Abracadabra.

This week we have designed a picture frame and some of us started to do some sawing to make it. We found it quite hard work.

On a very sunny afternoon at the beginning of the week we did our May Day dancing. We had been working hard to practice our dances and performed very well for the parents.

The Georgian House

On Monday Y1 went on a trip to the Georgian House. We had to dress up as servants. It was hard work but it was fun. We found out that if we were real servants, we would only get 2 days holiday a year and we would have to start work at 5 o'clock in the morning. The servants had to do lots of jobs like cooking, cleaning, ironing and washing. In this picture we are learning to iron and fold up clothes and sheets.
Here are two children carpet beating, they are trying to get all the dust and dirt out because they didn't have vacuum cleaners.

Here are Y1 all dressed up.

Road safety, money & drawing

On Wednesday a man called Louis came to Luckwell to do a road safety show. He taught us how to cross the road safely.

This is star group doing some money maths.
We are drawing pictures of our houses using rulers. When we finished we had to colour them in.

Measuring and materials

This week in maths Y1 have been doing lots of measuring. We measured the weight, length and capacity of different objects. We have also been learning about standard units such as litres, kilograms and centimetres. In science we have been thinking about materials and what objects are made of. The picture below shows us on a materials hunt.

lovely summer

Today we went to the courts to learn to play tennis with a man called Pete. We did lots of practising. We learnt there were three ways to hit a ball, over head, with a bounce and with no bounce. There are four ways to move on a tennis court, kriss kross, sideways, forwards and backwards.

Yesterday we had a mix up and went with different teachers and different children. We went on a plant hunt all around the school and across the road to the courts and the park. We were spotting, finding, drawing and feeling plants. It was fun.
