Class 1

Week 3 ECaT and Y1 Homework

We used out interactive board to draw pictures for our Father's day cards. We know how to select colours, rub out mistakes, change the drawing tool and use the flood fill tool.

Bolsover Castle!

We had a fantastic time on our school trip to Bolsover castle. We sat on a throne and rode a horse and learned all about how life in the castle used to be. We walked around the castle and could see the great view from the battlements! We enjoyed a picnic lunch in the sunshine and then even had sometime to play in the castle playground pretending we were the knights and royalty form the past. 
We found an extraordinary egg in our classroom and decided that it must belong to a dinosaur or a dragon!. We learnt about different animals that lay eggs and then made some more of our own. Ours are mostly dinosaur eggs!

New Board!

Rock Stars!

Welcome back to school after the Easter break. The children have had a great first week learning about the life cycle of butterflies. We have been really excited to use the new interactive board which we have used to sing songs, watch 'The Hungry Caterpillar' and play some games. 

The children have also been rock stars this week, performing songs on our outdoor stage and playing a range of instruments.

Week 5 ECaT- Fly, Fly Away!

Pirates!

Pirate Day!

Pirate Day was amazing and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The children had fun using their imagination to build a pirate ship, walk the plank and scrub the decks. We read and followed clues to find the treasure and all of the children made a handprint pirate. We used the I-pad to make our pirate selves and the children wrote their name and a description of their pirate personality. Some children made telescopes and treasure maps and there were lots of messages in bottles floating around. Well done everybody! A very busy day with lots of learning through play!

We worked hard to prepare for our assembly about Australia. We learnt about native Australian animals, the Australian flag and Aboriginal art.

FS2 ECaT Week 2, 3 and 4 - Train Travel, Sail Away and Pirates!

Welcome back after the half term holiday. Please find below our Spring Term Two newsletter and the ECaT forms for Week One.

Spring Term Two- Journeys

ECaT FS2 "Journeys I Make"

ECaT Year One- "Journeys I Make"

We enjoyed our bird watching yesterday. We went into the orchard and were as quiet as possible to see what different birds came near by. We were able to spot some blackbirds, pigeons and a magpie!

Bird Watching

We have had some new water channel stands that we have used to balance guttering, making fantastic ramps and pathways. This is great for our water play but we have been problem solving to find the best ramps and roads for cars too.

Fun Outside!

We have been learning about the weather and the seasons. The Year One children have made weather vanes to find out which direction the wind is blowing and rain gauges to measure the rainfall. Unfortunately it wasn't very windy on the days we tested our weather vanes. We are waiting for a really windy day! The children particularly enjoyed using a compass to find which direction north was. Maybe soon, we will get to explore the snow!

Weather and Seasons

The children really enjoyed using the hammers and nails. We were practising using a pincer grip to hold the nail and careful co-ordination to hit the nail with the hammer. The children also used the hammer to remove the nails from the wood ready to use next time. Well done everyone, great Funky Fingers!

Hammer Time!

Happy New Year! The children have come back to school excited and ready for a new term. Please find below our class newsletter and the topic overviews for both EYFS and Year One.

Christmas Party Day!!

It's Christmas!!

We are ready for our Nativity performances, all dressed in our costumes. 

Getting Ready for Christmas

Class One have been busy getting ready for Christmas. We have played in our Santa's Grotto, wrapping presents and writing cards. To prepare for the Christmas Fayre we have made Christmas decorations and reindeer food to sell on our stall. 

Road Safety Week

The children have learnt about road safety this week. We have talked about safe places to cross the road and how we should 'Stop, Look and Listen' when crossing the road. 

The children enjoyed role playing crossing the road using a zebra crossing and some scooters as the traffic. We had a lolly-pop person stopping the traffic and pedestrians waiting for a safe time to cross.

We made bird feeders by threading Cheerios onto pipe cleaners which we hung onto the trees. We also made them by rubbing lard into pine cones and rolling them in bird seed. They were very messy, but the birds will love them!

Class One Autumn Two Newsletter

We had lots of fun playing on the climbing equipment and using our bikes and trikes. We are learning to put the helmets on independently to keep us safe and how to negotiate the bikes around obstacles and each other.

Fun in the Orchard!

We have been learning in the orchard! We made homes for dinosaurs, completed a garden hunt and looked at some books about Autumn.

Take One Picture Art Work

During week one we completed art work for Take One Picture. The children in FS2 painted something that they could see in the painting of 'Penelope and the Suitors.' We talked about how Penelope was weaving and the Year One children used a paper loom and strips of paper to have a go at weaving themselves!
