Class 8 started their sponsored read event today. I can’t wait to see how many minutes we tally up as a class at school! Fantastic reading, you have come on so much!
During the recent half term, Arnie has been working on acts of kindness. Arnie has donated his old blankets to the Salvation Army and also become a volunteer at his local Cats Protection Charity.
Arnie has also shown kindness by teaching his younger sister to draw, which by all accounts has really tested his ability to stay patient! Well done Arnie!
So far we have looked at what geography is, how the earth is structured and how the earth crust is divided and what it’s made up of. To do so we have made an all about geography poster, made a model of the earth’s layers and recreated the earth’s crust diagram. All of which have been fabulous and of lovely quality! Well done Geographers!!
We have been learning about the digestive system as this is what our section of the product is about, so it was important we got a lot of information and more importantly that we understood the information we had.
The children worked in groups, they had 3 activities to carry out all which increased their overall knowledge of the digestive system. Again I was so proud of their efforts and how hard they worked to understand our human biology.
Wonderful work from my beautiful class during our reading lessons this week. Here they are practicing their fluency in the form of performance poetry. They all worked really hard to use all areas of their reading fluency to support a mini performance reading. I was so proud of their efforts and courage in groups volunteering to share their work with the whole class.
In Gblock today we have been following instructions on how to draw a sunflower. We have used the vocabulary shape, curved/straight lines, petals, stem and adding detail. Below is a few examples of their brilliant work!
This half term Year 1 are very lucky to have an extra PE session every Friday with a specialist PE coach. Please ensure children bring their PE kits on Thursdays AND Fridays for the rest of this term.
Thank you
