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!

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?
Thank you to all of the parents, carers and friends who helped Fen Street Year One’s decorate their Giving Tree. I think you’ll agree, it looks fantastic!
We would like to invite you all in again on Friday 18th December from 8:30am – 9:00am to share our giving tree poems!
Thank you for your support.
Friday 4th December 2015
Dear Parents and Carers,
As part of our Tree Project, we will be looking at the beautiful story ‘The Giving Tree’ by Shel Silverstein. This will be linked to our Ethos with a focus on the word ‘Open’. We will learn what trees can give to our community and what we, ourselves, can give to others in our Brooklands community.
We are going to build our own Giving Tree in our Year 1 learning environment which will inform our community about the different skills we have and show the different ways we can be ‘Open’ and give to others.
We would like to invite you into school on Friday 11th December between 8.30-9.30 to join your child’s class and teacher to join in with the learning and create decorations for the Giving Tree.
We will be providing materials to create the decorations. However, you are welcome to bring in your own decoration materials to use with your child during the session.
We look forward to sharing a morning of learning with you all.
Kind regards,
Year 1 Team
Next week we will be starting our project ‘The Giving Tree’

This week in Year 1 we are learning how to peer review learning. The children have started visiting the review stations in their classrooms and asking key questions to review learning against success criteria.
Key questions we need to remember are:
What learning have you completed?
Have you followed each step of the success criteria?
What have you done well?
What do you need to grow?
What is your next step?
