We are continuing with our daily phonics and handwriting lessons. 

In Maths we are continuing to learn to count accurately. This week we have focused on tens and ones when partitioning a number. 
















































 On Monday we enjoyed exploring the apparatus. The children explored how they move and balance at a variety of levels. 





























Florence Nightingale - We are really enjoying finding out about Florence Nightingale. We created a collage of Florence at the beginning of the week and then undertook some research using a variety of sources of information. 




















Outdoor Learning - KS1 have had the most fantastic 'Outdoor Learning' day. We have really utilised the beautiful space that we have at school. We began the morning by thinking of our own 'Nature Name', for example 'Miss Conkers Coles' or Zachary Zebra. We then went outside and the children were arranged into their house groups. The children were challenged to build a den, suitable for if it rained today, the den must be able to keep them all dry. ALL the children worked exceptionally effectively to build the best and most purposeful den they could, their teamwork spoke volumes. After this the children made apple cups, with the support of an adult, the children cut an apple (from our apple tree!) in half, they were then encouraged to scoop out the apple in order to create a cup, the children then poured apple juice into their apple cup and enjoyed a refreshing drink, on a very warm and sunny day! We then played a really fun hoop game, Miss Coles and Miss Blake loved it too! We then enjoyed our lunch outside. After lunch the children participated in a colour hunt, this was a tricky job but the children were exceptionally resilient and just kept trying and great results were had!

Year 1 and 2 have been an absolute delight today, their behaviour, attitude to learning and general effort that they have shown throughout the day. They have made me exceptionally proud

Last Friday we enjoyed making some Christingles and then sharing a Christingle service with Reception class in a socially distanced manner. Year 2 led the service and shared with us what each part of the Christingle represents.  We had an absolutely super time carol singing. Thank you to everybody who came out to support us.  We also made and decorated our personalised tree decorations! We felt very creative with our designs. We spent some time writing Goodbye messages to Mrs Baker, Arthur and Emylia as well as Thank you messages to Bobby's Mum for helping us with the backdrop for our nativity and the lady and gentlemen who donated the straw to us.   I would like to take this opportunity with wish Emylia and Arthur the very best of luck at their new school. I hope you all have an enjoyable Christmas, but most importantly, a safe Christmas.

Geography/Science Day - We enjoyed learning about the seasons and weather changed. We made rain gauges to measure how much rain falls.  On Friday we enjoyed being Superhero's to celebrate Comic Relief/Red Nose Day. We decorated Superhero masks, made biscuits and learnt a Superhero song and dance.  To consolidate our learning, we went for a walk on Friday and followed a set of instructions. We discussed and implemented all the geographical terminology we have learnt over the last couple of months.

We have had such an enjoyable week in Year 1. We loved celebrating Captain Tom Moore day. We made bunting, medals and sandwiches in the morning. In the afternoon we went for a walk to help the children understand how far Captain Tom walked. We explained that Captain Tom would have had to walk the distance we walked, 3 times! We were delighted at the efforts the children went to when dressing up!   In Maths we have been learning how to measure length and height! We have been using a variety of pieces of equipment to help us! We began by measuring with concrete objects and then rulers. We also used metre sticks to measure longer/taller objects. Today we measured each other and ordered ourselves from shortest to tallest.  In Miss Blake's phonics group this week, the children have been recapping 'ee', 'ay' and 'igh'. In this activity the children had to sort the words into the correct piles dependant on the digraphs. They were then encouraged to write sentences
