Year 1 - Week 2

Hi everyone, what a super week we have had in Year 1. We want to say a big thank you for all the effort you put into the children's costumes for World Book Day and a big shout out to our Mystery Readers, THANK YOU!

This week in Maths we have been looking at numbers to 50. Children have been counting to 50 and counting in 10s. We also looked at tens and ones. In English we have started a new book called 'Stanley's Stick'. Children went on a stick hunt and imagined their stick was something else, such as a boomerang or a broomstick. In Science we have been looking at seasonal changes. We have also started to look at a new artist in Art called Wassily Kandinsky. Children have loved creating abstract art.

Forest School was a big hit this week and children took part in a range of indoor and outdoor activities. Some children still do not have any forest school clothes. Please can these be sent in this week, thank you!

Please can you all have a look at your Rocket Club invitation if you had one sent home. We have had a few children this week not attend their session. If you have any questions regarding this, please email. 

See you all in the morning!

Miss White, Ms Dainton, Mrs Hibberd, Aly and Mrs C-C

Y1 Forest School Update



How lovely for Year One to be coming to Forest School on Thursday afternoons! Last week Year One had a tour of the site and learnt our rhyme “No Pick, No Lick, Be Careful with that stick!’ to help us stay safe outdoors. This week we will be focusing on The Very Hungry Caterpillar to celebrate World Book Day!

 
We had a great time exploring the mud kitchen, finding bugs, using chalk and making nature portraits. We can’t wait to continue exploring over the upcoming weeks!

Please remember the weather is still unpredictable so children should have wellies and coats for all forest school sessions please! 


Donations HELP!

To help develop our forest school area we rely on donations! Now the rain has stopped we need a water source for our mud kitchen – we would love a water butt to reuse the rainwater to make potions, recipes and other creations!

If you have anything or know anyone who could help, please email ellen.surtees@primary-forest-school.co.uk or speak to the school office.
