Welcome to Year 1
Our teachers are Mrs Kelsall (Monday and Wednesday to Friday) and Mrs Thwaites (Tuesday)
We are helped by Mrs Walker.
Welcome back to Year One. We have been back a couple of weeks now and the children have settled into their new classroom routines beautifully. We have already started our work on The Three Pigs and the children are working hard to create their own alternative versions of the stories and present them in pop-up book form! We are looking forward to seeing the finished results.
We have also been learning about our Village and School and are planning a walk around our local area in the near future. Some pictures should appear on the website following the walk.
We are still missing Mrs Hole as our TA (hopefully she will be rejoining us after Christmas) so please be patient with us if the books are not changed on time or accidently the same book comes home twice, we are all trying our best to fit everything in.
The children are brilliant, well behaved, listen well and work hard - what more could we ask! :) We are looking forward to a really good year ahead.
If you have any questions, or concerns, please just drop us an email and we will do our best to answer them.
The sun was shining today as we did our Village walk (linked to our Topic work). We looked at buildings in our village and talked about the street furniture we could see. Lots of questions asked and discussion about what things were. The children noticed so much more than they would normally see. Well done Year One
Fantastic school trip to Leighton Moss.
Today we visited Leighton Moss Nature Reserve and had a brilliant day looking at Minibeasts on land and in ponds. We learned lots of new facts about Minibeasts and even the grownups learned some new things too! We even got to make some houses for the little green elves!!
The dinnertime was especially eventful as we had lots of visits from ducks wanting our food! Rachel, our leader, told us that they don't like bread but prefer frozen peas!! Who knew!!! Lots of sunshine, lots of learning and excellent behaviour from all of the children - well done Year 1
Easter Gardens
We have loved making our Easter gardens today. We thought very carefully about where Jesus' tomb should go and where to place the cross. Look at all the beautiful flowers we have used to represent new life. We even kept the classroom tidy whilst we worked!!
We have been looking at our own toys, what they are made out of and why we like them so much! We chose some of our favourites to draw and write about.
Well today started off a little differently! We came into the classroom to discover a crime scene! Someone, or something, had been in our classroom in the night and had made a mess in the small world area! The scene had been sealed off by a detective but he was so busy he asked us to investigate. We collected some evidence and started to make some predictions. Later in the day we received an email from the 3 Little pigs to say they had been chased off by the Big Bad Wolf and they were very sorry they had left a mess! Thank goodness we solved the case!
We had a fantastic day out in the Lakes! We travelled on a bus, steam train and a boat as part of our Transport Topic. We even managed to fit in a trip to the Aquarium too! We had great fun and learned a lot too. Quite a few members of the public stopped to tell us how impressed they were with the behaviour of the class! Super proud of you Year 1! :)
If you are celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee over the holidays, why not take a photograph and we can put it up in our classroom. Have lots of fun!
