Just a quick reminder that the scholastic book fair starts today. The books are available to browse by both children and parents after school Wed-Mon and at the parents evening tonight. Why not stock up on a few Christmas presents, or introduce your kids to another fantastic author? Once our target has been reached, the school receive 60% of the profit back to spend on books for school. This has proven a very profitable venture in the past and we hope to replicate the success again this year!

I'm sorry but forgot to tell the children that I won't be in on Monday as I am on a course. They will have Mr. Gibson in to work with them in the afternoon. He has been in Yearn 4 for 2 days so they may recognise him.
Next week in maths we are continuing with measuring - length, height and mass. In Literacy we are using a picture of a busy street scene to talk about and then the writing activities will also be based on this.
The work from "The Year 1 Estate Agents" has been very interesting and I will enjoy looking at the different homes which the child have for "Sale".
I look forward to sharing the children's progress in English and Maths with you all on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Have a good weekend, I hope this nice weather remains for the next few days.

This week we are thinking about buying new homes. Today the children did some role play about buying and selling homes then had to describe the types of home they would like to have.
We have a number who fancy living in a castle and others who think a country estate would make a good home. Some children like the idea of many rooms, I just hope they realise how much cleaning these big houses would take!
The Year One Estate Agents would be a good place to buy your next property as the prices range from 19p to £385.
Thank you to all those who have already signed up for a Parent's Consultation time. If you still have to do so please pop in this week as there still a few gaps left.
I would like to award a big star to those parents who have found some of the useful ways to mark which week it is, in the Home - School Diary. So far we have a ribbon, a small sticky note and a smart paper clip as a "book mark". I apologise if other ideas have not yet been noted. Any other ideas will be shared, so see how ingenious you can be. They do save time when hunting for the correct pages to write on. So Thank You once again.

Wild Life Club
For those children in Year 1 who are part of Mr Farrington's WildLife Club, I have put the RSPB website onto your Pupil Links. Why not try it out?

Pupil Links
We now have some fantastic links on our year 1 pupil links page. It is a working progress that will change depending on the websites that the children will be using during lessons in the week.
It would be great if you could have a go on them and feedback to us.

Wednesday
Today some more children have been baking for the Harvest Cafe whilst others printed some apple and pear pictures for the Harvest Art display.
I hope the art work from last week - leaf pictures and material rubbings will continue next week as the rain has not help with outdoor activities so far this week.
Tomorrow we will continue with our writing about the different types of homes which the farm animals live in and thinking about the differences to their own homes.
In maths the children are working on 1 or 10 more and 1 or 10 fewer/less than numbers and sorting shapes using given criteria such as shapes which are red and shapes which have 4 sides.
Hopefully there will be some photos of the farm on the whiteboard tomorrow.

Thank you to all those who helped on our trip to Maiden Castle Farm. The children were a real credit to you all and everyone moved 2 steps up the Rocket Wall for their very good behaviour and attitude, I am most impressed!
The rain cleared up for most of the trip around the farm which was great. Hazel showed us the different types of homes which the various animals live in and also explained the reasons for the different designs. I'm sure the children will be able to recall these details when we come to discuss and write about the trip later in the week.
Harvest - Friday 5th October 2012
This week the children will be cooking muffins to sell at the Harvest Cafe on Friday afternoon.
You are all welcome from 3.00 and if you wish to collect your child to take them into the hall and then go straight home please remember to let one of the Year 1 team know so that their name maybe written on the white board.
Our Harvest Celebration will be at 9.20 and we look forward to seeing you there, and remember that the produce donated is sold off afterwards.
There will also be an art display with a harvest theme. Year 1 has already painted some pictures of fruit trees, many have abundant crops of rosy red apples!
