Thank you for all your efforts with this. We did lots of fun activities related to some of the fairy tales we have looked at this term, including baking and decorating gingerbread men, making crowns, a treasure hunt looking for the King of Fairyland’s lost golden coins and designing and making outfits for princes and princesses. Here are some pictures of the day…. Mrs Thomas (Little Red Riding Hood!)

11 years ago Posted on 02nd Jul 2015 by Admin Investigating plants and flowers This afternoon Class 1 went on a ‘Plant Hunt’ around school to find as many different plants and flowers as they could. They looked at describing them and trying to name them if possible. We also started looking at some of the main parts of a plant – petals, stem and leaves. We will do some more investigating on this next week.
11 years ago Posted on 29th Jun 2015 by Admin Wishes, spells and fairy houses! This morning, the children worked hard to write spells and wishes. Last Monday we visited the woods to collect items from the environment in a ‘fairy’ or ‘wizard’ cup. The children then chose a ‘stirrer’ to mix their fairy or wizard potion. They thought of a wish as they stirred their potion and some started to cast spells. This morning the children had chance to record their wishes and spells by writing them down. This afternoon, we spent most of the afternoon in the woods. The children were excited to find out that they could work in pairs to build a fairy or a wizard house. Please see the photo sheet attached for further information. Fairyandwizardhouses290615 Thank you, Mrs Conde

11 years ago Posted on 16th Jun 2015 by Admin 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. EA&D 150615 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.

11 years ago Posted on 12th Jun 2015 by Admin 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. The children then used the leaves they collected to make a large scale collage of a leaf outline in groups.
