Year 1 - PE kit

 Hi everyone, we hope you all had a super half term holiday and are feeling ready for the final term in Year 1!

This term we will be having PE on a Monday afternoon with mini ballers and a Tuesday afternoon with a cricket coach.

Please can you ensure children have their full PE kit in school, if you could include a sun hat with this that would be great!

Abbotsbury gardens - Year 1

What an amazing trip we had yesterday to the Abbotsbury Gardens. The sun was shining and we had such fun looking at all the plants, flowers and tress. The children represented the Prince of Wales so well, and we are so proud of them!

Here are some pictures of our trip.

Week 3 in Year 1 and upcoming trip to Abbotsbury Gardens

 Hello everyone! We hope you have had a good weekend and enjoyed the lovely sunshine.

We have had a great week in Year 1 and we can't believe how fast this year has gone. Your children make us proud and amaze us everyday!

This week in Maths we have moved onto a new unit all about fractions. This will be continuing next week. In English we continued to look at the book 'Lost and Found' and have created some super writing! In Science we have continued with our topic of plants and have been learning about evergreen and deciduous tress and observing the growth of our sunflower. 

We have also been designing and making puppets in DT related to 'Little Red Riding Hood'. Children will be bringing this home at the end of the term. Children have loved having mini ballers in to teach them ball skills. We still don't have every child in the class with their PE kits, please can you check this.

As the weather is getting hotter and we are spending more time outside in the sun, it is really important that children are wearing suncream and have sun hats in school. Please can you make sure you are putting suncream on your child before school and sending them in with a hat.

We have a very exciting trip to Abbotsbury Gardens on Tuesday. As the weather is forecast to be sunny, please can children have suncream on, bring in a sun hat and a water bottle. Children can wear whatever trousers you think are suitable and also suitable shoes. Please can you ensure children are wearing their school t-shirts.

Any questions please email or catch us at the door. 

See you tomorrow!

Exploring Animated Story Books in Year One!

 

This week in Computing, Year One jumped into the world of digital storytelling as we explored Unit 1.6 – Animated Story Books on Purple Mash!

We started by thinking about the differences between traditional books (the ones we hold and turn the pages of) and e-books (the ones we read on a screen). 


The children shared great ideas and quickly spotted that while both tell stories, e-books can sometimes move, make sounds, and even let us create our own!

Using 2Create a Story, we explored the My Simple Story level. Everyone had the chance to:

  • Use the drawing tools to create their own illustrations 🎨

  • Add text to tell part of a story 📝

  • And most excitingly… save their own page in a digital book! 💾

The children were brilliant at using the tools and showed fantastic creativity and confidence with their work. We’re really looking forward to seeing how their digital storytelling skills grow over the next few lessons.

Well done, Year One – you are becoming super e-authors! 🌟📖✨
