World Religion Day! , by Miss Glover

Date: 16th Jan 2017 @ 8:10pm

Happy World Religion Day!

Today we recognised the range of religions within our community. We discussed the importance of our British Values particularly showing equality to everybody no matter what religion or faith.

We focused particularly on Islam; we discussed some of their beliefs today and viewed some Islamic art. We really liked viewing the art and valued the creativity of the shapes and patterns used within the Islamic religion.

We enjoyed looking at it so much we decided to make our own! We selected some colours, picked a group of shapes and covered the shapes in coloured tissue paper. We then arranged the shapes in patterns and added to gold paper for an extra special look.

We had a walking tour, a session to feel some different reptiles, we watched a Sea Lion show and had a birds of pray show. It was amazing.

Textile Art, by Miss Glover

Date: 6th Jan 2017 @ 3:17pm

We have been learning about the West End Muscial Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Charlie's Grandad Joe wrote to us asking if we would make him and the other grandparents a brand new bed cover. We decided to base the design on sweets from the story. We designed it by drawing it, working with a partner and then finally selecting suitable materials to add to our very own patch. Check out our final product! 

Grandad Joe loved it!

Q1 have had a lovely afternoon today at the Peter Street Libary. We sat very well and listened to some lovely books. I am so proud at how sensible you all were.

Where do leaves go in Winter?, by Miss Glover

Date: 23rd Nov 2016 @ 2:16pm

Today we shared our ideas about where leaves go in Winter. We had some interesting thoughts, my favourite one was that they go on holiday. So....we decided to investigate and go on a leaf hunt. We used a leaf identification sheet and found lots of types of leaves belonging to different trees.  We found leaves on the ground and leaves on the trees! They have not gone on holiday after all..... 

Have a look at our snaps...

Date: 2nd Nov 2016 @ 6:52pm

Our new Maths Topic is Shape. This week we have been looking at 2D and 3D shapes. Children must be able to identify common 2D and 3D shapes. Help your child at home by hunting out 3D shapes within everyday objects. E.G a can a soup could be a cylinder.

Class Dojo, by Miss Fisher

Date: 9th Oct 2016 @ 7:17pm

This coming week, throughout school, we will be using ClassDojo.

Your child should have brought home a password for you to log onto the app on Friday.

Dojos will now be awarded instead of team points so that you can have instant feedback once your child has been awarded a dojo ... dojos can also be deducted for unacceptable behaviour (but we are sure this won't happen in Year 1)!

Please be paitent with us (well, Miss Fisher) while we get to grips with this new electornic system (I'm sure Miss Glover will get me up to speed).

If you have any questions please feel free to ask a member of the Year 1 staff and we will try our best to answer any questions.

Let's get dojoing!!
