Our Reception and Year 1 children are enjoying playing with our new playtime equipment.  Playtimes are very active!

 

The goal posts and the base of the basketball hoop are made of plastic so we need to take particular care of these. Small resources are kept in the storage boxes,

We have reminded the children that this equipment is for use during school hours. Your support in reminding them would be appreciated.

Year 1 Making a Victorian Toy, by Mrs Harrison

Date: 2nd Jul 2018 @ 7:00pm

For our history lesson today we learnt all about the Victorian times and the kind of toys that children would have played with. 

We learnt that a popular toy at the time, particularly with poorer Victorians, was a cup and ball game, so we had a little go at making one of our own!

The children had great fun doing this and loved playing with them once we had finished. They did an excellent job of following the instructions and worked really independently to complete their toys :)

Y1 Goodbye to our Associate Teachers, by Mrs Harrison

Date: 29th Jun 2018 @ 1:48pm

Today we said a sad farewell to our Associate Teachers from the University of Chester.

Miss Kearns and Miss Barrett have been with us since November and have just come to the end of a six week teaching block where they have been teaching Literacy, Numeracy, Phonics and Science to Year 1.

We have really enjoyed having them with us and the children are going to really miss them. 

We would also like to thank them for their lovely card and for the copy of 'The Snail and the Whale' by Julia Donaldson which they kindly bought us as a gift for our book corner. We will think of them every time that we read it :)

We wish them luck in their next school placement and in their future careers :)

Date: 21st Jun 2018 @ 2:33pm

We are reading a brilliant book called 'Toys in Space' by Mini Grey in Year 1.

We had lots of fun doing it and if you fancy making one, we will be writing the instructions for how to do it!

Year1 Special Visitor, by Mrs Harrison

She brought with her a Bagatelle and a hedgehog she bought when on holiday as a girl in the 1950's. We had a great time learning about the past. Thank you so much for visiting us and helping us with our historical research :)
