Year One had a FANTASTIC time at Underwater Street today! A huge thank you to all parents for your support and a great big thank you to the parents who joined us. Please check out some of our brilliant pictures. The children extended their topic learning by: making robots, exploring the light and dark room, creating a variety of crafts, painting, drawing, making bath bombs and even slime! We were so lucky to watch a Science show, it was all about reactive materials. So much learning has taken place today and we have had so much FUN!!!!!!!
Waste week!, by Miss Glover
Date: 16th Mar 2016 @ 10:38pm
Last week was waste week! One of our core values at Queen's Park is respect. We have been teaching children about how we ALL need to respect the environment. We can do this by NOT dropping litter, reduce our waste and recycle materials. We had a Year One litter pick to look after our school and local community. Picking up rubbish helps us to protect, respect and love our world.

World Book Day Yoga!! For world book day Year One looked at stories from a different culture. Our country was India. We looked at some stories set in India and learnt some facts about the country.
During World Book Day we had a special visit from a Yoga teacher. The Yoga teacher took us all on a journey through India. We learnt more about the possible sights, sounds and smells of India. The children explored this through movement and traditional yoga positions. We had a lovely, relaxing morning.
The signs of spring , by Miss Glover

Spring is here!! We are all so excited that spring is here. In topic lessons we have been looking at the four seasons, working scientifally by making observations. Last week we began to hunt for the signs of spring around our school grounds. The children made some simple observations to answer some of their key questions about the spring season. Check out our pictures.
Winter Poetry , by Miss Glover
Date: 7th Feb 2016 @ 9:17pm
Last week in Literacy we looked at poetry.
We started off the week by exploring the season of winter. We went on a winter walk on Monday and looked at some winter imagery. We developed descriptive vocabulary throughout the week and learnt everything we needed to know about what makes a good poem.
We wrote a class poem and it was great. On Friday the children had a go at writing their own poems using their poem plans and they are AMAZING!!!!
I am one proud teacher!
We will have an anonymous vote this week on which poems we love the most- I will upload a few!
Well done Q1!

The work of Simon A Yorke.., by Miss Glover
Date: 4th Feb 2016 @ 9:51pm
This week children spent time observing the work of Simon A Yorke an artist from St Helens. This masterpiece was from an exhibition which coincides with poverty action week. The art exhibition called 'Nomads' was on display across various locations in St Helens. We was so very lucky to see this amazing piece. The portrait was of a homeless man, we used this art to spark discussion about our values such as respect and love in R.E and SEAL lessons.

Christmas comes to QP!!, by Miss Glover
Date: 30th Nov 2015 @ 7:58pm
WOW- What an exciting, special day!
This morning KS1 watched a special video message, all the way from the North Pole! It was Santa and he told us that he has sent an Elf to keep an eye on children in our school. After the video message Year One found an Elf in the corridor surrounded with glitter.
With the Elf we found a book called ...The Elf on the Shelf. We read the book and then an Elf appeared in the corridor!
Shortly after this, Mrs Kellett found some strange pictures of the Elf on her CCTV, the Elf was up to mischief at the weekeed!
We will keep you posted this week and show you all our work on this mystery Elf.
How exciting!!!!!!!
