Year 1 World Book Day, by Mrs Harrison

Date: 10th Mar 2017 @ 1:52pm

Year 1 brought in their favourite books from home to share with the rest of class. We had a fantastic selection of books!

As a class, we read the story 'We are family' and discussed how everyone has an extremely special family but everyone's family is different.

Bird Day, by Mrs Harrison

Date: 16th Feb 2017 @ 4:35pm

On Wednesday, Year 1 had a bird day. We looked closely at birds, sketching them using pencils and black biro pens. We then added information to our sketches by researching birds using videos, books and Ipads.

In the afternoon, we identified different birds around the forest and field. What beautiful sounds they make!

Year 1 then used their knowledge about the features of birds and their artistic skills to create clay birds.

We have had lots of fun learning all about birds.

I wonder what facts Year 1 can share with you at home?

Kind feelings, by Mrs Harrison

Date: 16th Feb 2017 @ 4:26pm

Year 1 shared compliments and smiles to their friends on Tuesday.

We then created bright and colourful hearts to share our happiness with family at home.

Spread a little kindness, by Mrs Harrison

Date: 8th Feb 2017 @ 4:25pm

As it is Children's Mental Health Awareness week, Year 1 have been focusing upon kindness. We carried out an experiment to see how it feels when we do not listen to each other. Unfortunately, it made us feel 'lonely, upset, ignored and forgotten' just like the mouse felt in our class story 'The Lion Inside'.

These are feelings which we did not want, so we turned our sadness into laughter as Ollie F squirted toothpaste out onto a plate! Ollie was then asked to put the toothpaste back inside the tube! Well, this proved to be difficult. Ollie tried, Connor tried, Brooke tried and Seth tried but no-one could put it back into the tube! Luckily, Jessica had an idea! She said... 

"When we talk, we can't take it back". 

All the class agreed. Just like toothpaste, we can't take back what we say. Therefore we have decided, as a class, that it is always best to think before we say anything.

Our final activity was to think about all the different acts of kindness that we can do and create our own Kindness Flower.

What an amazing couple of weeks we have had!

Year 1 have been working extremely hard creating animal masks, snakes and ladders board games, moving animals and even creating animal dances.

We have had a fantastic show case of talent throughout the week as well.

Sophie read a story to the class with fantastic expression. The class were amazed by her reading skills. 

Rachel, Ava, Evie and Niamh performed a brilliant dance to the class. Everyone was so impressed.

"I really enjoyed that! It makes me want to dance!"

said Ollie dancing away to the music.

The Christmas Story, by Mrs Harrison

Year 1 finally cracked the code yesterday and found out those cheeky reindeers have been trying to learn the Christmas Story by watching our nativity play. This afternoon, year 1 have been working in groups to re-tell the story to each other. I wonder whether they can tell you the story at home?

Year 1's Delamere Forest Trip, by Mrs Harrison

Date: 16th Nov 2016 @ 3:28pm

Year 1 had a fantastic first school trip at Delamere Forest. In the morning, we used the natural resources around us to create art work. We have some fantastic artists.

After lunch time, Year 1 went for a autumal walk through part of the forest looking at the different nuts, berries and leaves they could find. I wonder whether you can find an acorn, sweet chestnut or hazelnut at home?

Year 1 addition and subtraction heroes, by Mrs Harrison

Date: 14th Oct 2016 @ 4:10pm

Using their adding and subtracting skills, Year 1 became addition and subtraction heroes racing across the hall to solve a new problem. They worked really hard in their teams to solve the problems, then order them from the smallest to largest numbers.

Fantastic team work Year 1, Well done!

Year 1 & 2 Story Time!, by Mrs Harrison

Date: 9th Oct 2016 @ 10:03pm

Year 1 and 2 have had a very busy week writing some wonderful stories! Year 1 have been writing Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Year 2 have been writing the Bog Baby's story. What better way to end the week than to share our stories with each other. We had a lovely time reading our stories to a partner and giving 2 stars and a wish. The stories were fantastic and both Mrs Harrisons were very proud 😄

Never smile at a crocodile..., by Mrs Harrison

Date: 23rd Sep 2016 @ 3:47pm

This week, Year 1 have had a cheeky visitor who clearly liked to eat the most objects or the bigger number. He was a very greedy Mr Croc!

During our art and computing lesson, Year 1 drew portraits of themselves with the biggest smiles they could show.

 

Year 1 on an Autumn Walk, by Mrs Harrison

Date: 16th Sep 2016 @ 9:26pm

Year 1 have begun learning about the weather changes and signs of Autumn. We went on an Autumn walk to find out how many of these signs could be found in our school woods. The explorers managed to find most of the Autumn signs although they did notice that there were not many piles of leaves yet!

The class also enjoyed developing their ability to read numbers up to 100 whilst developing their turn taking and gamesmanship skills playing snakes and ladders. I wonder how many numbers they can read on signs, packaging and at home over the weekend?

Y1 SRE WEEK, by Miss Lynch

Date: 14th Jul 2016 @ 11:46am

The children enjoyed taking part in a range of circle time activities this week. The biggest thing the children learned was how to identify the gender of a new born baby girl and a new born baby boy. Over half of the class used the baby's face and hair style to decide on the gender. After lots of discussion the children learned that we look at the baby's private parts to decide. This led nicely on to what the children call their own private parts. After that, the children learned the scientifc names for these private parts. As you can imagine, there were lots of laughs and giggles throughout this particular lesson!
