Hello Year One Families
What a truly fantastic finish to our half term we have had this week.
On Monday we celebrated our heritage day with some of our children sharing their own heritage with the rest of the class. The confidence with which they spoke and the proudness they showed was just so lovely to see.
We also had a visit from DEED where we learnt about the footballer Mo Salah from Egypt. We found out he showed great perseverance to become the footballer he is today. We also tasted dates and apricots with differing opinions on whether they were nice or not!
In PE, the children practiced their throwing and catching skills, showing great hand eye coordination and lots of fun too!
On Tuesday, in history, we welcomed some special visitors to finish our learning about the history of the Prince of Wales School. Former pupil Tom Easterbrook and former member of staff Sue Howell came in to answer questions about their time at the school. The children also took them on a tour to show them what had changed since they left.
We also learnt about settlements. We learnt about Maiden Castle, the Celtic Farmstead (in our school grounds) and the new settlement of Castle Park.
We finished our collage and weaving topic in art by completing 3 different weaving techniques using card, ribbon and natural materials. The children showed great perseverance and were totally absorbed in making their creations.
On Thursday, we had a great day out at Abbotsbury subtropical gardens where we became tree and plant detectives. The children used all their scientific knowledge to investigate deciduous and evergreen trees as well as wildflower and garden plants. They even tackled the rope bridge, which was quite a challenge!
And finally, I have no idea what we were doing in this picture but it really did make me smile. The children and the Year One Team have had a truly fantastic last week of this half term.
We wish you all a very happy half term and we will see you on Monday 5th June.
The Year One Team
Mrs March, Ms Browne, Mrs Stockman, Mrs Rogers, Miss McCourt and Ms Dainton,
