Party day in year 1!

We have all had a great day! We have designed our own party hats, danced, played games, made a Christmas tree decoration and had lots of fun!

Santa Claus comes to town!

We have had a very special visitor today! Year 1 sang Jingle Bells and wished him a very Merry Christmas!

Day 3 and 4!

Day 1 and 2!

Shining star!

What a fantastic week! Great listening, positive attitude and beautiful handwriting. Keep up the great work!

Happy Birthday!

Birthday hats, banners, bunting, balloons, buns, sweets, pass the parcel, disco lights and music! It is safe to say, the birthday party was a great afternoon! Happy birthday to the fab five!

We can use a number line!

In numeracy, we have been learning to use a number line. We have been using it to count the jumps between numbers, solving addition sums and also circling numbers greater than and less than a given number.

Games from around the world!

We have been looking at games from around the world, to link in with our Toys topic. We have loved playing Jumping Jacks from Poland!

Diwali! The Festival of Lights!

We have been learning all about Diwali and the Festival of Lights. The class have drawn pictures of Rama and Sita, Ravanna and the other Hindu Gods.

Look at our cars!

Year 1 have worked so hard today! They’ve had to follow lots of instructions to be able to paint and build their car. First they designed their car, then painted it. Next they needed to paint four wheels and two wooden dowel rods. The final part needed lots of concentration – they had to assemble their car! What a fantastic job they’ve done! Well done Year 1!

Friday afternoon fun

On Fridays afternoons we play bingo, dance, do arts and crafts, build with lego, make models from junk

but most importantly we have fun with friends.

Pudsey!

Ship Ahoy!

Ahoy, Me Hearties!

We have loved exploring the new addition to the playground. Year 1 have had lots of adventures so far! I wonder who will be the first, to have to walk the plank?

Well done Year 1!

We have had a fantastic week and won the shining star! Year 1 are all enjoying a well deserved choosing time in class.

My busy week!

Here’s a couple of things I’ve done this week. Unfortunately the weather has been rubbish so I wrote a story using my key words, drew a sunflower, wrote about myself for Mrs Barrott and Mrs Rooke, filled in my work book to learn about time and I got my mummy to die my hair.

Storm chasing!

Hello Mrs Millington,

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been watching lots of tornado videos on YouTube and reading about them on Google with my mum. I’m finding them very interesting and tell my family all about them. I know they use a siren alarm to alert villages of potential tornadoes and that they come in different sizes from F0 to a F5 the F5 is the biggest and meanest of them all! I want to be a storm chaser when I grow up and save all the peoples lives and protect them from all these tornadoes! Stay safe!

Learning about animals, renewable energy and lots more!

Hi Year 1,

We have learnt more about animals around the world. We did Antarctica, Africa and Australia, in science we have done about renewable and non renewable energy and made a poster to finish off. I have been helping my mummy cook, I’m very good now. I have lost a big tooth. I got some money. I have done lots of walking, bike riding and gardening. I’m growing strawberries, lettuce, spring onions and radishes.

I’m missing you and my friends. Tom Gates are my favourite, I read them everyday morning and night.

Seals!

We went to Ravenscar and saw some seals. It was so good, they came so close. 👍

Thank you!

Lovely to see you Year 1! Great finding out what you’ve been doing. From bike rides, to topic work, mathletics and seeing how many wobbly teeth you’ve all got!

Stay safe and take care. We’ll Zoom again next week! x

Clocks and pizza!

Hello Mrs. Millington,

I hope you are doing well.

Every Friday is my 10 minutes test day, and this Friday  the topic was learning about clock. I am glad that I scored well. On Saturday I helped my dad to bake some yummy vegetable pizzas. I choose my own toppings, I don’t  like too many vegetables though. It was a busy weekend. Looking forward to join school on Monday.

Take care .

Great time work! You’ve obviously been working hard at home and at school. Ooh the pizza looks delicious! x
