Musical Soiree

Musical Soiree

This is a short reminder of our Musical Soiree taking place on Tuesday

25th June at 6.00pm at the Dorchester Middle School.

We moved the venue as we have exceeded our school’s capacity! Please also

recall that the performance is not suitable for small children to attend.

Finally, I am assuming that all children are taking part unless you have

informed the office or me?!  If your child would like to be involved and has lessons outside of school then please also see me!

As this is the sole concert of the year

expectations are that all children learning music at the school would

endeavour to be there. Thank you! Mrs Mewett

The mystery bug is revealed....

So after many guesses we can now reveal that the mystery bug is.......

A May Bug also known as a Cockchafer.

Wow look at the difference between these pictures!

Che Che Kooley!

We have received some fabulous home learning over this week.  One of the children bought in a snail, we looked closely at it and could see the antennae moving.

Somebody from Year 1 also went home and built a lego model of some insects.

CHALLENGE

From now on, if you create a model or object please don't forget to write about it! What is it? Where is it from? How did you make it?

Practising your handwriting is very important in Year 1.  We often have pages of very neat work, like the page below.  A child knew they had to get better at 'f' so practised at home and look at the great result...

Yesterday in Music we learnt a new African song called Che Che Kooley.

The children were fantastic at singing this song, especially in rounds.

Home learning: a post from Mr F!

Year 1 are without  doubt the Home Learning Champions of the school! A pile of stories, handwriting, numbers, pictures, models and other wonderful creations are regularly to be found on my desk! I love to see the children's work and hope it will continue. If your child hasn't got the Home Learning bug yet, how about starting now?!!!

Mystery insect

We have had some more fantastic home learning today. We have had a delivery of a mystery insect to name! Below is a picture of an insect that was found by one of our children. Can anybody identify what the insect is?

Home learning and insects

We have had some fantastic home learning in today. Well done to everyone that brought in a piece of writing or maths to show us. It is brilliant that the children want to write about trips and visits that they have made at the weekends. Below is an example of some great home learning we have had today.

This week the children are going to be going on insect hunts around the school.

What minibeasts can you find in your garden? Can you write about them? 

Family portrait

In preparation for some work that we will be doing the week beginning the 24th June, could we ask the children to bring in a photocopy or a scaned picture of a family portrait. We ask that the children do not bring in the original photos, only photocopies or a printed picture. The pictures will be staying in school.

Thank you in advance.

Year 1 team.
