Wow! I know I speak on behalf of the whole team in Year 1 when I say how incredibly proud we are of how well all the children have settled into the life of being a Year 1 child!
We have been doing lots of fun activities in maths, including groups objects within 10 in different ways.
In art, we learnt how to draw a self portrait using a mirror to look at our different features and compared these to our partners. We then walked around the room and admired the amazing work everyone had done!
We begun our phonic sessions and within these, we work together with a partner to read a book. Here we are looking through our speed sounds.
At the end of our PE session, we tested our new running track out by jogging, running or walking around! We know we are going to have lots of fun on this over the year!
After such a busy week, we hope you all have a good rest ready for our first full week in Year 1!

I can't believe it is the end of the year already! I would just like to thank both you and your children for an amazing year that we have had! It will be quite an emotional day for me tomorrow as having had them for two years, it has been a real pleasure to teach them and watch them blossom and turn into the amazing people they are now! Everyone has put so much hard work and effort into everything that we have thrown at you this year, we honestly couldn't be prouder of the children!
I am very much looking forward to watching the children grow and mature as they move through school!
We were chefs on Tuesday! In DT, we have been designing a healthy meal for the new restaurant, Mrs Parker's Happy Place! We had to make it look attractive, fun and appealing. We chose to make a fruit or vegetable salad, placing it on the plate in an inventive way! We used the bridge technique to cut fruit like mango, apple and grapes, vegetables like onions, pappers and cucumber, while peeling oranges and carrots as well. We tasted them and then evaluated our product for the restaurant. Don't they all look delicious, good enough to eat!
Have an amazing holiday, have a good rest and again, thank you for everything this year, from the whole Year One team!
Love
Mrs Parker, Mrs McLoughlin, Mrs Robertson, Mrs Cooper and Mrs Pearce xxx

What a fantastic Key Stage One sports day we have had today! We are so proud of all the children who completed all the races, despite the weather! A massive thank you to the house captain's and vice captain's from Year Six, who came and helped us out by adding up the scores, deciding on the order each child came in the race and setting up the various races that we did. The races we did were:
Caterpillar Race
Shuttle Race
Javelin
Obstacle Race
Sprint
Shot Putt
Caterpillar Race
Here are some photos from the day:
Have a lovely weekend, ready for the last week in Year One!

We haven’t let the rainy weather put us off our outdoor learning over the past couple of weeks. The tree canopy in the woods has sheltered us and we have still been very busy! We have really enjoyed harvesting lots of strawberries from our school garden. There were enough for us to try and to share with the birds and other wildlife as well! We read a funny book called The Incredibly Meanstalk and planted and watered runner beans, constructed some fantastic shelters and practised our knot tying skills. Last year we planted some conkers in the woods and we are so excited to see that we now have two horse chestnut trees starting to grow! We are taking care of them so they are able to grow stronger.
In DT this week, we have been tasting different fruit and vegetables. We looked at the different ways which we can prepare them and how we need to keep safe when handling food. This included being hygienic and using a knife and peeler correctly. This is all in preparation for us planning to make our own fresh fruit or vegetable salad for a local restaurant, Mrs Parker's Happy Place!
Have a great weekend and I hope the nice weather returns soon!

A massive thank you to Mrs Pearce this week who has been teaching on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday!
Today, we met with our buddies to have a go with their science and DT project involving an electrical circuit. They played the buzzer games together this afternoon and were 'buzzing' about it when we come back to class!
In maths, we have been continuing with the topic of time and looking at measuring time with minutes and seconds. We estimated how many of each activitiy we could do in 1 minute and then 10 seconds before recording the actual result.
In history, we looked at the history of cars, comparing how cars looked before and how cars look now. We even began to think about what cars might look like in the future ...
Have a great weekend, ready for transition day on Tuesday!
