Year 1 - Curiouser and Curiouser…

Fri 15 May 2015

What a good turn out we had, of parents and carers on Wednesday morning, for our meeting about early reading. After a cup of coffee and a biscuit, Mrs Harrison and Mrs Fenton talked about lots of activities that can be done at home to help your child become an early reader and writer, that don’t cost anything!

Thank you all for coming, it was lovely to meet you.

F2 - So Much Work, So Much Fun!

What a busy week! F2 were so excited about the birth of Princess Charlotte that we thought we would send her a card! I’m sure Will and Kate will proudly display it in their home and save it for Princess Charlotte to read when she is older! F2 also received a letter from the mischievous fairies, who had moved into the dolls’ house, saying that they were going to move into the fairy houses that the children had made for them in the woods, but they said, “We may be back…"

In gymnastics Oliver demonstrated a sequence to the whole group—he was so good that we were all able to follow his lead. Good luck Oliver, in your gymnastics competition—you are amazing!

Welove our ukulele lessons and our skills are improving—we hope to be able to perform for you in the very near future! Our musical skills go even further—in Caterpillar Music we accompanied the Flower Duet, from Lakmé, with our triangles— we experimented with it, trying to make it sound like different kinds of rain—what beautiful music we make!

We are keeping a close eye on the beans and sunflower seeds we are growing—Tyler’s sunflower is looking good—thank you to Tyler’s mum for sending us the photo.

In literacy we have been reading Slug in a Jug and focusing on rhyming words—how many words can you find to rhyme with slug?

In numeracy we have been looking at different shapes and using mathematical language to describe our work and the models we made.

Thank you to the parents who have returned the questionnaire which will help us with our pupil profiles; there is still time to complete and return the questionnaire if you haven’t already done so.

F1 - Eating our home-grown cress!

F1 - Eating our home-grown cress!

We can recommend our home-grown cress! On Friday, we made egg and cress sandwiches. Mrs P bought some hard-boiled eggs in from the shop and some tiny bantam eggs from her chickens. We were able to compare the size and the taste! Did you know the bantam eggs are much smaller because the bantam hens are smaller? We loved the egg and cress sandwiches—they were delicious! As well as checking the growth of the cress we have been watching our caterpillars getting fatter and preparing to go through a metamorphosis. We are eagerly waiting for them to turn into a chrysalis. Watch this space… Come and have a look at our Jack and the Beanstalk corner—can you spot the giant?
