There's been another birthday in Year 1! We are growing up so quickly!


We have had lots of fun in our classroom Toy Shop, writing shopping lists and making change to pay for the toys.

In Number work, we have been learning how to measure capacity, using sand and water and estimating the capacity of objects.






It has been Anti-bullying week and we have been talking about what bullying is and making posters to help people to understand about bullying.

We had a special assembly with Professor Positive and Nasty Nik - "Sticks and Stones may break our bones, but names can hurt us too..."

Next week, we will be making our Toy Shop into a Toy Museum, like the one that we visited at Blaise. We are going to invite Mr Jones and Mrs Shore and our grown-ups to come and visit our Toy Museum.

First week back....

We all had fun preparing for fireworks night. We learnt all about Guy Fawkes, and how 400 years ago, he blew up the Houses of Parliament to kill King James. We all had fun drawing pictures of fireworks and singing firework songs and making up actions and sounds for the different fireworks.





We have been using the recycled materials instruments and playing in the sand and water...

We have been using our phonic knowledge in Literacy to think up rhyming words and making poems.

In PE we have been learning how to throw both underarm and overarm and as high as we can!

Recycle, recycle, recycle!!!

We have had a lot of fun this week putting the finishing touches to our fantastic recycled costumes and practising our catwalk modelling.

Miss Welton was very, very pleased with our class assembly. Because the Luckwell value for this term has been Communication, we chose to sing our recycling songs to the rest of the school, to promote our recycling message in a different way. We also showed of some of our incredible recycled costumes to the rest of the school.

We had a fantastic time performing the Recycled Fashion Show. Lots of parents came to watch and some of the teaching staff and Mr Jones. Although some of us were very nervous, we did a fantastic job of walking down the catwalk in time to the music and showing of our costumes. There were so many incredible costumes, from a peacock to a mermaid! As we did such a great job of performing, Miss Welton gave us not one, not two, but three sweets in the jar!!! The jar is now full and so in the new term, we will be having a cinema with popcorn during Golden Time as our treat!

Looking after our planet...

In Science, we have been remembering how much we've learnt about materials and their different 'properties'. Here we are doing a material sort of things that are 'magnetic' and 'non- magnetic'.

We are enjoying our quiet reading and Miss Welton is very pleased with how we sit and quietly look at books.

We had ANOTHER birthday in the class...

Vanessa came into Year One to talk with us about looking after our planet. We talked about all of the endangered animals and the ways that human beings need to look after our planet to protect all of the animals. We did lots of fun activities and thought about all of the ways that we can keep our planet clean.

Here we are curling up into tight balls like Hedgehogs.

You should ALWAYS put your rubbish into a bin otherwise animals and sometimes people are put in danger.

We had fun pretending to be animals. Here is an Orangutan...

... and a Bumble Bee...

... it makes us sad to think that these animals are in danger because we are not looking after the planet as much as we should.
