Summer term!

By 15th April 2016

Welcome back to all our children!

 

 

We can’t quite believe just how quickly this school year has gone- it is already the summer term! The children have progressed such a huge amount already that we are very excited about what the summer term shall bring!

We are starting this term with our project- The Hungry Caterpillar. The children will be learning all about the life cycle of a caterpillar and investigating all about their habitats.

We are looking forward to seeing what creations they will be making.

 

First week already done, it’s going to go so quick!

 

Have a lovely weekend

Year 1 – inspired by book characters…

By J Francis29th February 2016

Year 1 looked amazing today dressed up as their favourite book characters!

We are taking inspiration from our favourite books to re-design the Year 1 reading area and create a fantastic reading space where everyone will want to come and snuggle down to enjoy a book…or two!

We would be extremely grateful if anyone would like to donate materials for our book corner such as blankets, cushions, drapes, bean bags, battery powered fairy lights, chimes…so that we can make the space as peaceful and inviting as possible.

Thank you for your support!

Our ignite: growing

By 24th February 2016

On Monday we ignited our new project “Growing”. We sowed sunflower seeds in compost and have chosen weekly gardeners to keep them watered. We have also begun growing runner beans in plastic cups so that we can see how the bean grows. We have already seen the beans begin to crack open! We will be keeping bean diaries to check their progress.

On Tuesday we tasted some fruits from around the world. We learnt about pomegranates, mangoes, pineapples, lychees and passion fruit. We thought the passion fruit looked slimey and enjoyed how sweet the mangoes tasted!

Tell me a dragon

By 3rd February 2016

Over the next couple of weeks we will be looking at the book “Tell me a dragon” by Jackie Morris. It is a beautiful book with lots of great pictures of dragons. We are currently at the imitate stage where we are looking at the language used by the author. We are particularly interested in WOW words. We hope to use what we have magpied in our own writing, creating our own dragons for you to see!

Please take a look at this book at home – which dragon is your favourite?
