In phonics this week we have been focusing on our formation and ensuring we are taking time with each letter that we write. After lots of practice, these are some lovely examples of our hard work! In music we have been looking at making different rhythms and counting the beats. After our music lesson today, three of our year 1s [...]
We had a great time visiting Miss Smale and all the children in class 1 yesterday!
Class 2 have been very busy in maths, going round and questioning each other about favourite; animals, colours, toys, crisps and even dance routines?! We found out that his means we were collecting 'data' and we used this data to create pictograms.
Thank you to the parents who came armed with junk modelling this morning! We have been making rockets and spaceships! We have also made progress on our planets!today we painted them "These are the rockets boosters!"

This week we have been working hard on our phonics and maths. We have tried out a new game called 'Splat' which we love! We work in teams and Miss Smale reads a word from the board, the first person to splat it with the swatter wins a point for their team! This is helping us speed up our letter [...]

'I liked the smell!' - Fin 'I liked it when it erupted!' - Minnie 'It's like a volcano!' We chose the colour red for Planet Mercury, 'because it's close to the sun', rolled [...]
