In our maths learning this week, some of us were finding the smaller or larger from 2 shapes, while others were describing the properties of 2D shapes and were introducing 3D shapes into our learning. In our English learning we described the main character, Percy and we were fabuous at answering questions from the story - we now know it so well. In our topic learning, we found out what the weather is like in summer and autumn. We found an apple tree in the school grounds and are going to watch it changing over the coming seasons.

We hope you've had a lovely Christmas and are looking forward to seeing our learning this term. Our new topic title is Whatever the Weather. We will be looking at the 4 seasons and what each entails. This week we looked at how the seasons are linked with the months of the year. We then went on to look at what the weather is like in spring. We are looking at the winter themed book ' One Snowy Night' by Nick Butterworth in our English learning. The children were fabulous at acting out their different roles during a role play lesson. Ask us to retell the story. This week in our maths learning we have been learning about 2D shapes. We began our week by making crispy cakes for our parents when they came along to our coffee afternoon.On Tuesday morning we had our breakfast with this old fella. On Tuesday afternoon we had a great time at the leaving party of one of our friends. We thoroughly enjoyed decorating ginger bread men after all of that dancing.How fabulous did we look in our party clothes on Wednesday afternoon. This is us enjoying our party food. Wow, it's been one busy week. Today it was back to work. We had fun painting the display backing ready for next term's new topic. Watch this space for more information.
This week we have been learning about the Christmas story in our RE learning. We then thought about a gift we would like to give to baby Jesus if he was around today.
We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas lunch on Thursday. This was just the beginning of the fun we will be having in school over the next few days. This week we became toy designers. First we designed our toy robot. Next, we collected the materials we needed to build our robot and glued the main parts together. After that, we painted and decorated the robot. Then, we put all of the details on our design. Next week we will be evaluating our design. I'm sure you will agree, they are amazing. Last week we started to look at a new book in our English learning - Toys in Space. To help us to remember and sequence the story, we acted it out. Ask us to re-tell it for you. This week we had a fun PE lesson with Spiderman. Year One's topic is Superheroes and as we have our PE lesson with them, we had the pleasure of meeting Spiderman himself. We asked him questions, then joined in with the PE lesson. During our maths learning, we had fun using our new maths resources. This week we continued our science learning. We looked at the features of metal toys and learnt where metals come from - ask us about it. We sorted metal fabrics and challenged our learning to create another group of materials which were made from both metal and plastic.
What an amazing day we had on our visit to Newcastle. First we were taken by elves to visit Santa on the roof top at Fenwick's. As we were visiting him early on in his run up to Christmas, we got our requests in early. We thoroughly enjoyed decorating our Christmas biscuits and having hot chocolate and a cupcake in the Claus Café. On our adventure in the toy department, some of the toys in there caught our eye, and we hope Santa was still watching us as we chose a few little extras for our Christmas stockings. Fenwick's window was a great experience as some of us have watched the film 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' and recognised the scenes. Finally, to round off a lovely day we enjoyed a delicious McDonald's meal...…..3 happy children!! In our English learning we are now writing a recount of our memorable visit. Last week we thoroughly enjoyed making our cup and ball toys. This week we will be writing instructions - How to make a cup and ball toy....watch this space! This week we took part in World mental Heath Day. We came to school in yellow clothes and the money which was raised from our non-uniform day will go to support mental health charities. In the classroom we took part in mindfulness activities to support our own mental health. We then created a mood board to let the adults know how we feel at different parts of the day. Ask us about the monsters who are associated with mindfulness activities.
