17.12.14- Last week of term, Year 1 party and carols....

We just want to say a massive well done to all of Year 1, this week they have shown how brilliant they are and have been fantastic actors! I hope that you have all enjoyed watching 'Whoops-a-daisy Angel'. Last performance is tomorrow at 10am.
 
Today we have enjoyed our Christmas dinner at lunch time. Tomorrow we will be having our Christmas party in the afternoon. There will  be lots of dancing, games and prizes to be won! The children will be bringing home their tree decorations and cards tomorrow so please can we have book bags.
 
Friday is our last day before the holidays and we want to have lots of fun. We are saying that the children can bring a game in to school if they wish. All games need to be labelled please and not too precious. We are encouraging appropriate age related games that the children can play together and enjoy. Book bags are not needed on Friday.
 
On Friday afternoon we invite all parents in from 3pm for our Christmas carols in the hall. This is always a fantastic  sing a long and promises to make everyone feel festive!

11.12.14- Wow look how creative Year 1 are!

Well done to all of the children that entered the DT competition this year. There were some fantastic creations that were all made out of recycled materials. The winners from Year 1 were: Oona, Lewis and Rohana. Congratulations!! Below are the winning three decorations


 
The winners each got a certificate and a book as a prize. We were so impressed with all of the decorations. Well done to all the children that entered. Below are all of the other fantastic decorations.
 










 
Apologies if I have missed any of the decorations, I will check over the pictures tomorrow. Tomorrow is our non school uniform day and POWSA have asked for something to be donated for the raffle. At 3pm you can collect your child to take them to the school fair. We will be situated in Year 2 as our room will be used for the fair.

7.12.14- Handmade decorations, Kandinsky and much much more!

This week Year 1 will start to make their own Christmas decorations that will go on to our school tree. This can then hang on your Christmas tree at the end of term! The closing date for this years DT competition is nearly here (Thursday). If your child hasn't already bought in a decoration please do as it is great to see all the different ideas everyone has on how to make a decoration out of recycled material.
 
Also on the agenda this week will be some art work focussing again on Kandinsky, play performance and group reading. If your child has got any group reading or school books at home that they haven't had in school for a while please can they come back in. We do try and get every group to change their books every week but you are more than welcome to do this with them before or after school.
 
Many thanks
 
Year 1 team
