Hello Year One Families
We just wanted to let you know what an absolutely brilliant time we had at Kingston Lacy yesterday. The children did lots and lots of walking and lots of lots of playing too!
It was great to hear them recounting some of the knowledge they have learnt over the year. There were shouts of 'Evergreen' and 'Deciduous' as we walked round!
Here are a selection of photos from the day.

Hello Year One families.
We are looking forward to our school trip tomorrow! It is set to be a warm day so sun cream (applied before school please) and sun hats are a must! Please make sure your child has a water bottle too.
We shall see you in the morning.

In English our new book is called 'Pig the Pug' about a rather cheeky dog! At this point in the year the children are using tall the skills they have been taught to hone their writing skills. The children are getting really good at adding interesting words (such as adjectives) as well as extending their sentences using conjunctions such as and and but. The children are also brilliant at using their phonic skills to write unfamiliar words.
Our new geography topic has focused on human and physical features which the children explored and sorted this week. If you are out and about this weekend see if you and your child can fins some different human and physical features.
In Forest school the children explored floating and sinking, making boats out of natural materials . . . and the sun shone!
Phonic Screening AKA Biscuit Club
Next week is the start of biscuit club so every child will attend, read some words and then receive a biscuit for their efforts! The children will be surprised with a packet of biscuits on Monday morning to entice them to visit the club!
This Monday - Roundhouse daubing
Don't forget that this Monday the children will get the opportunity to start the daubing process on the roundhouse. The children will need clothes and shoes that are OK to get very muddy and dirty!
Visit to Kingston Lacey - Wednesday 19th June
If you would like to help on this school trip please do let us know.
Apologies for the lack of photos of the children - we are in the process of updating our ipads.
Have a great weekend everyone.
The Year One Team.
Hello Year One Families
Today we welcomed some very special guests back to school as a finale to our history of the Prince of Wales School topic. We took our guests on a tour of the school and then asked them some question about their memories of the school. We found out lots more information about the school and were even able to find most of our guests in the school photo albums!
A huge thank you to:
Mr Farrington (the first Headteacher of the Prince of Wales School)
Mrs Howell (a former TA at the school)
Mrs Thomas (a former TA at the school)
Tom Easterbrook (a former pupil of the school - 17 years ago!)
Cameron and Thomas Porter (former pupils of the school - 2 years ago - and whose Mum just happens to be Miss Johnson!)
We really valued the time our guests gave to us and their stories and information about the school.
Thank you.
The Year One Team.
Yesterday in Computing our aim was to understand what an event is. We then had to use an event to control an object.
An event, is an occurrence that causes a block of code to be run. The event could be the result of user action such as the user pressing a key or clicking the screen. In 2Code, the event commands are used to create blocks of code that are run when events happen.
The Year One assembly will start at 3pm this Friday. We are looking forward to seeing you there.

We have had a most fantastic trip to Abbotsbury Sub-Tropical gardens today. The children were able to put all of their science learning about plants into action. They became tree detectives spotting deciduous and evergreen trees on our walk round. They also kept a look out for wildflowers and garden plants. We were extremely lucky with the weather too. Take a look at some of the highlights from today:
