Hi everyone, I just wanted to say that I hope you have an amazing half term! I feel sad that we had to cut this week short, however, I am glad that we are all staying safe.
We have had have such an amazing week in year 1 and I'm sure the children have told you all about it.
Monday started with some exciting visitors who came to do a STEM workshop with us. Children got to create their own windmill and learned how these can generate energy to create electricity.
On Tuesday we made our own toys out of recycled materials. Most of the children wanted to take them home to show you! Apologies if they are taking up a lot of space in your house!
Yesterday was our favourite day of the week. We had some really special visitors from Teach Rex come in to teach us all about Thomas the gorilla. We learned all about how his habitat was being damaged and how he was saved from danger. We then had a workshop with them which involved learning about how to use a greenscreen. All the children enjoyed this so much and loved making friends with Thomas.
As we had to close early we were not able to send home any spellings or RWI books. However, please encourage reading at home with books you already have. Also, keep on practicing the spellings we gave out last week as we will be having a spelling check on these after half term. We would have had a spelling check today!
The home learning task is to write down or draw a picture relating to what your children already know about Space. This is our topic for next half term.
Just a reminder about World Book Day. This is on Thursday 3rd March. We encourage children to come dressed as their favourite book character. Also, all hot dinners are cancelled for this day, so we are asking for children to come into school with a packed lunch wrapped up like a book.
Have a great half term and we will see you on Tuesday 1st March!
Miss White, Mrs Dewey, Ms Dainton, Mrs Howell and Mrs Hibberd
