Week 3

This week we have been working on our ball skills. Watch out Bristol City!

Felicity came to see us and read us stories from New Zealand. She showed us photos of the school she worked in in Wellington. We have been comparing New Zealand and England this week.

In literacy we have been learning about stories from our own and other cultures, rewriting them and acting them out.

Week Two

The blog this week was written by Year 1 in our Literacy lesson on Friday.

This week at school we have enjoyed drawing pictures of the school day.

In Literacy we have been writing recounts like this!

In Numeracy we have been counting and adding.

In PSHE we watched a video about bullying.

At home we have enjoyed playing in the snow.

What a busy last week. We enjoyed our Christmas dinner on Wednesday and Christmas packed lunch on Thursday.

The Christmas party was really good fun, especially musical chairs and the visit from Santa.

We asked Santa some very tricky questions. Mrs Thwaites wants to remind everyone that Santa can walk through walls so if you don't have a chimney please don't leave any windows or doors open this year!

We are really looking forward to our New Zealand topic next term!


We wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Something special

This week Year One have been working hard for our Christmas play. Year one played Soldiers and mice and some of the speaking parts. Everyone enjoyed themselves and Mrs Thwaites was so proud that she gave us four marbles!!!

In numeracy we have been learning about money and counting in 2s.

On Wednesday we made beautiful Christmas candles. In RE we have been talking about the first Christmas and opening our advent calender. We have written instructions for making a Christmas cake and letters to Santa.

We are all feeling very happy and great and excited!!!!

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.'
