10 years ago Posted on 18th Sep 2015 by Admin A busy week in Class One This week the children in Class One have enjoyed reading the story ‘Funny Bones’ by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. They have talked about the story, discussed their favourite character, drawn skeletons, made skeletons and labelled the human body. All About Me – Funnybones PowerPoint In phonics Reception children have been practising s/a/t/p/ and learning i/n/m/d. Year 1 children have practised j/v/w/x/y/z . The children have been practising segmenting and blending words with these letters and enjoyed using some of the phonics games here to help support their learning – http://www.iboard.co.uk/teacher/bictonclass1/1 In Maths we have been busy counting , ordering and recognising numbers. The children have used The Gingerbread Man Topmarks game to help them – http://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/gingerbread-man-game This game works really well on tablets and would be fun to play at home too. Have a super weekend. Mrs Bowes 🙂

10 years ago Posted on 08th Sep 2015 by Admin A great first day back in Class One Class One have had a brilliant day so far. The children are all getting on really well and are making each other feel very welcome and at home in the classroom. We have shared our holiday news this morning – it sounds like you have all had a very busy summer! The Reception children have started looking at their little bags and books that they could collect things in over the summer – lots of interesting things to see. The Year One children have spent time with Mrs Conde sharing their news too and have all written their first piece of work in their English books. They tried very hard to use their phonic knowledge and all did extremely well! They have all drawn a picture on the ‘Paint’ programme on the laptops too. This afternoon, we are going to get changed for Physical Development and have some fun developing our co-ordination, balance and agility skills.

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.

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.
