Maths Fun – It’s All About The Sorting
In Year One we have been thinking about how we could sort objects / items and people into different groups. This morning we worked outside to sort ourselves into different groups:-
* Boys and Girls
* Cardigans or Jumpers
* Dresses or Trousers or Shorts or Pinafores or Skirts
* Tights or Socks
* Different Hair Colours
Then, we worked in smaller groups with our friends to sort lots of objects – into different colour groups and some of us even sorted our objects into different animal groups.
It was super fun 😊!

A huge well done and thank you to all the children who made an Easter Bonnet and sent us their pictures!

The week at school (from Monday 6th April, 2020)
Date: 6th Apr 2020 @ 8:29pm
We are having a great time in school this week.
We have been keeping fit - by practising some dance routines, going on the trim trails, taking part in an assault course challenge as well as going on the scooters and bikes.
As it's nearly Easter - we have made Easter Nest cakes - they were yummy! We have also created some Stained Glass Window Decorations. We have made Easter Cards and motivational messages too ...
We have enjoyed the Lego Challenges too - we have created a theme park ride and a rocket so far.
All of this as well as some online learning and Maths challenges!
In After School Club - we have made pizza and enjoyed waffles with chocolate spread. We have also created some mosaic art and played games (The 5 second rule game was fun - but sometimes a little tricky!).

Our topic for this half term was : How do plants and animals help each other?
The children were asked to be creative for their home learning. Well done to Charlie for creating a lovely mini garden ... I hope it makes everyone smile!
Henry has been very busy too - he has created an Animal Fact File - have a read through of all the information. He has used to lots of skills to create his fact file - English (Reading and Writing), ICT and Science. Well Done Henry.
Gavin has also created his own miniature garden ... I think it is very colourful - what do you think? Well Done Gavin.
If any other children have completed their projects - please take photos and forward them to me in school and I will update our gallery.
Many thanks.

We have had another great session in Forest School today – even the rain didn’t put us off!
We have learnt how to use a Kelly Kettle and make a mini fire so we could have some hot chocolate – yummy! We also made badges from wood and built our own shelters – it was fun! Some of us got very muddy … the muddier the better!
ECO COUNCIL: PUTTING UP THE BIRD BOXES!
Date: 16th Mar 2020 @ 1:24pm
Some members of our Eco Council have positioned the bird boxes they made last week around the school field - including putting two up in the Foundation Stage outside area.
Over the next few weeks and months we will be hoping to attract a wide variety of different birds to the boxes including Blue Tits, Coal Tits, Marsh Tits and Sparrows. The Eco Council will be using their 'bird spotting guide' from the RSPB to teach others about the different birds we may attract.

Can you solve the mystery of the Maya?
Date: 16th Mar 2020 @ 10:14am
To finish off our topic 'Can you solve the mystery of the Maya?' We have enjoyed playing a version of a ball game that the Ancient Mayans would have played called Pok-A-Tok. This game is thought to have been invented around 200 BC.

We have had a great start to our Forest School sessions – although we didn’t escape some of the rain showers!
First of all we played a game to introduce ourselves – we had to use alliteration. Here are some of the names we used:-
Arthur Alligator
Ellie Elephant
Noah Newt
Henry Horse
Then, we played a game where we learnt all about predators and prey. We pretended to be sharks and fishes, deer and wolves and antelopes and cheetahs. After that we listened to a story all about wolves.
We have also made mini dens / shelters for a small animal.
Finally, we looked closely at some newly planted trees and we are going to observe how they grow over the next few months.
Take a look at some of our photos.

ECO TEAM MAKE BIRD BOXES 05.03.20
Date: 5th Mar 2020 @ 4:36pm
Last term, the Eco Team wrote a letter to Mr. Brooks to ask for his help in building some bird boxes to attach to the trees around the school in the hope that we can attract more wildlife.
This afternoon they have worked hard measuring, sawing and drilling to create a selection of boxes with three different-sized holes to attract different species of birds. Mr. Brooks talked to the children about how to attach the boxes to the trees safely and also provided a bird-spotting sheet from the RSPB.
We wlll spend some time next week looking for the best locations to position the boxes and then we can monitor the types of birds we observe.
A HUGE thank you to Mr Brooks and our Eco Team!

WORLD BOOK DAY - The Three Bears' Porridge
Year 5 have used the fairy tale 'Goldilocks' to investigate the idea of separating solids as part of their science topic. Goldilocks has made a mess of the kitchen ingredients and the 3 bears need to separate the mess so they could make their porridge.
The children discussed their prior learning of solids, predicted what equipment would separate which solids and decided which solids would be the hardest to separate. They were able to separate the oats successfully but now have the dilema of separating the salt and flour. A child suggested placing it in water, which we have done, to be revistied tomorrow. So the story continues...

As part of World Book Day and linking to our light topic, today we made shadow puppets. We created the puppets based on a fairy tale with a twist. The children did an amazing job and enjoyed acting out the tales.
Date: 5th Mar 2020 @ 2:26pm
We looked at the book ‘Once Upon a Time..’ by Nick Sharratt. We were able to change the story by choosing where the princess lived, what kind of pet she had and what she wished for when a witch granted her three wishes.
We also talked about what the children would wish for. Here are some of their ideas:-
a castle
a unicorn
a really fast car
a trampoline
a brand new scooter
Peppa pig
a horse

We have been celebrating World Book Day in Year 1.
