Hello everyone.....

 

Year 1

Hello Everyone, 

We have had a very busy week and been very creative in our learning.

On Monday in the morning we went to explore the soft play room in small groups which was lots of fun. We also talked about Pantasourous and made some pants creations for the children who were not attending last Friday.In the afternoon we focussed on our scissor skills and cut out some pictures from magazines and cards.

On Tuesday we made some sheep and cut up the tissue paper to go on them. In the afternoon we explored foil painting using cotton buds. This was great for getting the little finger muscles developing. 

On Wednesday we made some more pants sticking creations and these designs were very colourful and creative. In the afternoon we did some colour hunt cutting and everyone collected their own colours of cutting out designs. OnThursday we did some Maths work on the large screen which the children enjoyed. In the afternoon we created some building constructions in the classroom and then took our designs and made bigger models in the garden.

On Friday morning we did some texture play and mark making in the shaving foam. In the afternoon we went to feed the animals and played on the big yellow slide next to the pirate ship play area. 

Over the next few weeks we are going to be travelling and looking at different countries. We start this week looking at our very own London. 

If you have been and have anything you think the children may like to look at during group times please bring it in. We have lots of fun things planned and we are going to have some traditional cream teas so all children can experience this. 

Group Times we have continued our focus on listening skills. We will continue this over the coming week.

FITNESS FEBRUARY - To help combat the winter blues and to inspire your household this February to get fit...Here at the Prince of Wales School we are challenging all children to increase their fitness throughout February - and beyond.   You could try something new everyday like: trampolining, stretching, yoga, ball skills, Joe Wicks or dancing.    To help motivate your child to walk, run, cycle or scoot we are challenging the school to record how many KMs we can travel in the month.    Our first mission is to get to Berlin - fill in the form below every time you do some exercise and help us to reach our target -   https://tinyurl.com/POWFitness2022    There will also be competitions between each class to see which year group travels the furthest.       Please share any photos and videos of anything that gets your child moving.

Looking forward to seeing you for a great week of learning while we play and learn new skills.

Please remember to ask if you have any questions.
