Class 1 had a lovely afternoon on Friday playing musical bumps and statues, we had a sweetie hunt on the playground and a lovely picnic. The children finished off playing games with the parachute and having a dance in the classroom.

Monday and Tuesday in Class One

Yesterday the children decorated clay shoes that they had made last week. The children designed a pair of shoes as we have been reading the story of The Elves and the Shoemaker.

We had a Mathematics session in the afternoon – we used a new resource called Numicon and some children used a number track to carry out addition questions.

Please see photo sheets.

MATHEMATICS 150615

Today, we have written letters to the Elves to say thank you from the Shoemaker. The Year One children also looked closely at the structure of a letter. We tried hard to think of our addresses too! We also talked about how an email is different to a letter.

This afternoon we have been on the field practising Sports Day activities.

Planting beans

This week Class 1 planted beans and will be using their mathematical skills over the next few weeks to measure how tall they grow. They also made ‘giant’ castles and planted these in their pots to see how far their beanstalks reach.

In the woods

This week when Class 1 went to the woods we used our story focus on ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ to collect leaves and describe them.  Then the children worked in small groups to sort the leaves into groups using a Venn diagram.   Some children were asked to sort the leaves into more groups.

Class 1 PE

This term Class 1 will be playing tennis outside as part of our PE lessons.  As the weather is getting warmer please can you ensure your child brings in suncream, a sun hat and a water bottle for these lessons.

Also when they come into school on a Friday morning they can come into class straight away to get changed into their PE kit.  Once they have changed they will need to put their school clothes in their locker and go outside as normal until the bell rings.

Many thanks, Mrs Thomas

Book bag system

As some of you may have noticed this morning, to save a little time we have changed the system for the book bags.

Your child can now put their own book bag straight into their tray.

If there is a note in their home-link book for us to read, please put the book into the red basket next to the trays. If you have something for the office, for example dinner money or a form, please ensure that this is in a named envelope and put it in the green basket.

Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Thank you!

Measures and making beanstalks

Yesterday Class 1 went to the woods again, this time to collect sticks and use them to talk about measures (length).  They were set the following tasks: To find the longest stick they could find and see where it measured up to on themselves.  Then they collected more sticks and ordered them from longest to shortest.  Some children were given extra challenges to find a stick as long as their arm, 2 sticks the same length and a stick that was 20cm.  They all worked really well together.

Today we used the sticks to make them look like beanstalks using a  range of materials. The children all made a fantastic effort.

Jack and the Beanstalk

Today Class 1 went to the woods and listened to the story ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’.  They then worked with a partner to mime one scene from the story for the other children to guess the scene.  They all worked really well and thought carefully about using good body language and facial expressions.
