Autumn Term 1st Half 2024
If you were unable to attend the 'Meet The Teacher' meeting on Monday 9th September please have a look through the information given about Year 1.
PE is on a Monday and Wednesday - please can the children come to school wearing their school PE kit on those days.
Forest School is on a Wednesday afternoon. Please can the children bring wellies and raincoats as we will be going out in all weathers!
These are our literacy texts for this half term. Have you got these books at home too? We have a café role play area in class for the children to use to retell the story.
The children were very excited to get their own homework folder. Please hear your child read regularly and go through the sound mat. Reading books will be changed on a Tuesdays and Fridays..
Science -We are learning to identify, name, draw and labelling parts of the human body and say which part of the body is associated with each sense. Bonnie was very kind and let us read the labels and place them to identify parts of the body. She had to keep very still!
Marvellous maths - We are learning how to group, count and record numbers. Number sequences- We are learning about number sequences – counting in different steps, and carrying on patterns. To count one more/one less from any given number. Identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations including the number line, and use the language of: equal to, more than, less than (fewer), most, least.
Science Eco Day - We have really enjoyed thinking about how we can make our school better for minibeasts. We did a minibeast hunt and looked at different wild flowers and what plants need to grow. We made seeds bombs using soil, clay and wild flower seeds. We hope these flowers will attracted more creatures into our school grounds. .
Safer Internet Day - we have been learning about staying safe on line. The children produced some briliant information posters.

Fantastic Forest School! Have a look at what we have been up to over the last few weeks in Forest School.
We love PE - this half term we are learning to work as a team and different running skills.
History
We have been learning about what life was like in the past for children and comparing it to life now. We have looked at different artifacts from the past. How we change as we grow from a baby, child, teenager to adult.
We were lucky enough to have Mrs Hunts Mum and Dad come in to talk to us about what their life was like growing up. The children asked lots of interesting questions and were very surprised that they did not have electricity, a computer or a mobile phone!
Thank you so much to Mrs Hunts parents for giving up their afternoon to visit us.
Design Technology
We have been learning about healthy eating. We designed our own fruit smoothie, thinking about all the different fruits we might like to taste.
We were very lucky to have Emma (Bonnies mum) come in to help us. The children cut their fruit up and placed it into the smoothie maker. As you can see from the photos it was great fun and they really enjoyed drinking their smoothie!
I am very proud of the children in Butterflies class for filling up their praise point tubes. Well done children!
