Class Visitor

Today in Year 1 we had a visitor.  Mr Hallett came in to talk to us about buildings in different countries.

We found out that The Gherkin in London is the equivalent height of 49 double decker buses and the Petronas Tower in Kuala Lumpur is the equivalent height of 120 double decker buses.

Class Assembly

Don't forget it is our class assembly tomorrow morning, and all those who need to bring in your costume...please remember!!  Thank you.

The children are really trying hard with their reading, speaking and acting in preparation for the class assembly.  Fingers crossed it all goes as well tomorrow! I am sure it will but please accecpt us as we are - just two rehearsals - so not a polished performance!  Thank you to those who have sent in the costumes, so those for the North Pole penguins are all under preparation here so please don't worry if your child did not bring home a note.

I am on a course this morning so will not be in until after lunch.

Hope to see you all here at 9.20 tomorrow - Friday 23rd

Making a house

Today in topic the spring group made this brilliant house out of bricks. They had to work as part of a team to build a house big enough for a child to lay in.

Don't forget to wear something spotty tomorrow!

Fire safety talk

Today we had a fire safety man who came into year 1. He spoke to the children about smoke alarms, the importance of wearing a seatbelt, not touching hot pans and what to do if there is a fire in your house.

He told us that fire needs three things to start

We should always keep doors shut at night as it will slow fires down.


We learnt that if there is a fire the smoke alarm will make a loud beeping sound then you must shout fire! Next you must get out of the house quickly and you must not go back for ANYTHING! Once you are out you must stay out and call 999.

The fire engines will arrive very quickly. Did you know that firemen only have 4 minutes to get to the firestation and 30 seconds to get changed. In year 1 we practised getting dressed in firemen outfits, it was very hard to get dressed so fast.

Another important thing we learnt was that you must never touch matches or lighters.

The fire safety man taught us this saying:
"Matches, lighters never touch, they can hurt you very much"

Music

Today in music we have been listening to music and recording down how we feel in a picture. The music we listened to was by Myles Davis -Quintet. The great jazz group.
