Class 1 outdoor area

Thank you again to everyone that has donated equipment for Class 1’s outdoor area.

One of our outdoor projects is to make a ‘mud kitchen’. If anyone has any old kitchen utensils they can donate we would be very grateful. We are looking for things like pots, pans, baking and cake trays, plastic/metal bowls, spoons, etc.

Thank you for your continued support.

The 3 Billy Goats Gruff

Class 1 have been looking at the story ‘The 3 Billy Goats Gruff’ this week.  Today the children worked in groups to act out the story with one person acting as the narrator.  They also used the bridges in the play area to act as a prop for the goats to cross.  There was some fantastic acting and good use of character voices!

Our new topic in Class One!

Class One have soon settled back into the swing of things following the Easter break. They are full of energy and can’t wait to get stuck into our new topic this term!

We are basing our work and play around the theme of ‘Once upon a time’.

We will be exploring many traditional / fairy tales and carrying out indoor and outdoor activities linked to characters, settings and events of these tales.

We are currently working hard to get the class role play set up for the children to enjoy. Watch this space…

The children are enjoying being outside for many activities and are also learning new physical development skills on the field during PD sessions.

Letters and Sounds buy viagra no prescription needed continues to progress well and takes place everyday. Handwriting will continue to be practised in class too.

Please see our topic web which displays how the areas of learning will link to our topic. This will be enhanced and extended for the Year 1 children and will be built upon as we progress through the topic, taking into account the ideas and preferences of the children.

Once upon a time Summer 2015

I will be putting photos up tomorrow from this week and last week’s sessions (my camera battery has just run out!) for you to see what your children have been busy doing.

Thank you.

Mrs Conde and Mrs Thomas.

Science in Class 1

Class 1 have been working hard this term in science finding out about different materials.  Their task this week was to use their knowledge to talk about what materials would make a good shelter for Pebbles (our class penguin!).  They decided that it needed to be waterproof so they planned an investigation to test which materials were waterproof or not.  They also discussed how they would test a material to check it was waterproof, what will happen to the water as they tested it, what equipment they would need and how they would make it a fair test.  The materials they decided to test were wood, tin foil, paper, card, plastic and cotton.  They found out that wood, plastic and tin foil were the most waterproof.

Well done Class 1!
