Hello everyone...

 





Year 1


Hello Everyone,

The children have had a great week and have enjoyed exploring many new experiences in the classroom. We have been exploring all types of transport. The children have been creative with the car wheels, mark making using the paint. We have also played some small group games. In the outside play area we have been using the balls and throwing and catching.

We also made some apple boats and had to work out how to get them to float. 

The children are really beginning to engage well during group times, and it’s wonderful to see how much they are enjoying the action songs.

This week, we will continue our focus  on transportation. With the changing weather, it’s a great opportunity to talk about the different types of transport the children may ride on or see. We’re looking forward to another fantastic week full of learning and fun!

Healthy Movers
We’ll be practising our skills by moving around as different animals. I am sure the children will enjoy this!

Year 1


Hello Everyone,

The children have had a wonderful week and have enjoyed exploring many new experiences in the classroom. We have been mixing colours to create new textures and shapes. The children particularly loved using the scissors, and we always remind them that scissors must be used while sitting at the table. They also enjoyed gluing the pieces they had cut onto another sheet of paper.

We marked Armistice Day by making poppies and watching the CBBC recording designed for children. During group times, we talked about what makes a good friend and discussed how to play together and use key words to start conversations with others. It was lovely to see so many Pudsey outfits on Friday! We enjoyed learning about the day and sharing a spotty biscuit snack.

The children are really beginning to engage well during group times, and it’s wonderful to see how much they are enjoying the action songs.

This week, our focus will be on transportation. With the changing weather, it’s a great opportunity to talk about the different types of transport the children may ride on or see. We’re looking forward to another fantastic week full of learning and fun!

Healthy Movers
We’ll be practising our throwing and catching skills with beanbags and taking part in obstacle courses in the hall to challenge our coordination and problem-solving skills.
