Mrs Allen and Mrs Kindon are so proud of year 1 and their home learning projects featuring their gardens. They have worked ever so hard and the results are amazing! All the projects have added so much to our topic work. Thank you to all of our families who participated with their Y1 children.
This term, as part of our science work we will be looking at, identifying and naming a variety of plants and trees that grow in our gardens, around our homes and around our school.
Your task is to discover a little bit about the things that are growing in your garden or in a local park and bring what you have learnt into school by Monday 20th March 2017.
Ideas could include:
Make a model of your garden or a garden that you would like to visit.
Take photos of things that grow in your garden or near to where you live and write labels/captions/sentences to accompany them.
Design and make a poster to show what you have discovered.
Have fun!
Mrs Allen
Mrs Allen is so proud of the Year 1 children. This week they followed the pattern of the original poem by Roger McGough, to write their own class poem. They even managed to perform it with actions! WOW!
A teacher called this morning
Dressed all in black and grey
Put every sound into a bag
And carried it away.
The munching of the food
The clicking of the benches
The scraping of the plates
The rumbling of the tummies.
The banging of the dinner ladies feet
The complaining of Colby
The crunching of the crisps
The clicking of the knives and forks.
The scraping of the slide
The stomping of the boys
The skipping of the children
The shouting of the children.
The fizzling of the pan
The sizzling of the chips
The swirling of the spoon
The clinking of the forks.
The ringing of the phone
The beeping of the printer
The noise of all the grown ups
The squeaking of the door.
A teacher called this morning
He didn’t leave his name
Left us only silence
School will never be the same.
Year 1 have been using their senses to write Christmas poems. Take a look!
Year 1 have being enjoying science outside – drawing around each other’s bodies and some body parts.
Year 1 have had a fun week back in school and have took part in many different activities.
I just wanted to share some of the photos taken with the parents. What a lovely class of children!

Year 1 had such a fantastic time at the beach last Wednesday.
We climbed sand dunes, made sandcastles and even had a mini beast hunt!
We also saw the sunshine for a tiny bit of the day.
Year 1 have been planting sun flower and cress seeds. We put some of them in the light and gave them water. The others went in the cupboard with no water. The seeds in the light are growing tall but the seeds in the cupboard are not growing.

We have written instructions to tell you how to grow a sun flower. We put a title at the top of our work. Then we made a list of all the things we need. Next we used time adverbials to write the instructions.

Year 1 had a very special visitor today. She told us all about her life and how she and all her nurses helped the soldiers in the Scutari hospital. Who do you think our visitor was?
So proud of all of Year 1. They worked extremely hard preparing for the class assembly. What great polar explorers they have become!
