 In Maths this week we have been exploring volume and capacity. We have been using the scale to support us in effectively measuring the volume of a container. The children worked together to challenge themselves read and record the volume. 


























Phonics words using concrete objects! 






The children moved around 4 activities this afternoon allowing them to explore the importance of exercise, eating correctly and personal hygiene.
Mrs Gilbert provided the children with the opportunity to try a variety of healthy snacks; every child tried something new today and most children really loved what they tried. A favourite was definitely the malt loaf!
With myself, the children were made aware of the importance of drinking water. The children learnt that a child should drink 6-8 cups of water (or similar) a day. We discussed strategies of how we could all drink more water. The children were introduced to the terminology ‘hydrated’ and ‘dehydrated’. We identified obvious symptoms of someone becoming dehydrated. We then made a recording table to help us investigate how much water Year 1 and 2 drink per day.
The children learnt all about The Eatwell Plate with Miss Villalba, identifying the different food groups and the foods that belong in them. Using plates and pictures of different foods and drinks, the children were encouraged to create their own
Eatwell Plate.
The children undertook a research enquiry with Miss Coles, using books and the internet to find out about hygiene. The children recorded their finding using a group spider diagram.
To conclude, we discussed everything that we had learnt during the afternoon.















Have a wonderful weekend. See you on Monday.

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
