YR1 Week 24.4.17 This Week

Welcome back to the first half of the Summer Term.

Wow what a week we have had so far! Yesterday the children had fun finding out about wildlife in the school grounds with some expert volunteers from the R.S.P.B. We found a wide variety of mini-beasts! The R.S.P.B will be returning on Friday, so if your child has anything they want to ask them they will have the opportunity to do so.

This half term we are going to be concentrating on writing Poetry and Instructions in Literacy. As our topic in Science is Animals we will also be linking a lot of our writing to this. We have started learning about animals this week to tie into the R.S.P.B visit. We have been learning about invertebrates and vertebrates and will continue to discuss different groups of animals this week.

This week in Maths we have explored more place value and today we have been drawing pictograms and we will be interpreting graphs for the rest of the week.

On Monday, Autumn and Winter, started Forest School with Paula, which was a great opportunity for the children. These children will do Forest School every Monday until half term, so please make sure they have appropriate clothing with them, as stated in the letter sent home before the Easter holidays.

Year 1 Team 

A visit to Hooke by Mrs Mewett!

Well I headed out yesterday to visit the children and staff. I arrived to find the children, enjoying the afternoon sun, playing games together, and looking super happy! They were all also enjoying the food and especially the bedroom sharing, most were telling me this was their favourite part!
The final activity of the day presented us with an evening walk into the woods and spotting signs of nature. The children behaved really well and walked 3 miles before back to base - all kept up too!
They all slept so well again - then up and eating another yummy breakfast. I know the Year 4 team have been particularly proud of how well the Year 4 children are clearing away and tidying up their plates, etc in the lunch hall.  The other schools from DASP there are learning from our children, super!
I know they will come tired back to you today but I wanted to say how very proud we are of their caring attitude and thoughtfulness in supporting each other while away. All children are giving all the activities 100% and making friends with other schools too.

A super combination of successfulness, and for that we owe thanks to you!
Happy Easter holidays everyone!
Mrs Mewett

Well done!

 

Well done to Year 1 and a super assembly this morning. I heard from other school children and staff that it was a super effort with lots of confident children performing really well. Well done also to Miss Kinkead for her first class assembly!
I send my apologies as I have been on the Year 4 residential at Hooke where just like Year 1, the children are proudly representing our school.

YR1 Assembly this Friday

This is just a reminder that our assembly will be this Friday! It will start at about 9.15am and will last about 30 minutes. It is great opportunity to see your children perform, so we look forward to seeing you there.

Your child took home their lines to practise tonight so please make sure they are learning them at home!

Thank you
