Reading Workshop
Thank you to the parents who attended the Reading Workshop last night. The presentation can be found here.
Mindfulness, maths and library visits
It’s been another busy week in the Year 1 and 2 classes. We started the week with a performance from One Day Creative about dealing with emotions and mindfulness. This will be followed up with workshops in a few weeks.
All classes visited the library, choosing books to encourage and enhance reading in our classrooms.
We’ve been using a variety of equipment to represent numbers, focusing on how many 10s and 1s a number has. Ten frames, Base 10, Numicon, part-part-whole models and lolly sticks are all resources we use in school – ask your child to describe the objects. (The pictures might help.)
Well done to this week’s Golden Star.
Science, Computing and Art
It’s been another busy week in all three Year 1 and 2 classes. The children have been learning about how to answer a scientific question – ‘How can we make plasticine float?’
They enjoyed trying various shapes before finding a way to make it float.
We have also had our first taster of our carousel afternoon: learning how to make music on the iPads, art and RE.
Well done to our Golden Star this week.
A busy first week!
Wow! What a brilliant week we’ve had. All Year 1 and 2 classes have visited the school library to choose a book to take home. This is to be enjoyed alongside the reading scheme books. Please return next Friday (15 September) so your child can choose a different one.
1,2V were impressed by the new hall floor and worked on listening carefully to instructions and balls skills in their first PE lesson. Thank you for making sure your child was not wearing earrings (as per our updated uniform policy) as this ensured we started our PE lesson promptly.
Well done to our first golden star of the new school year.
Raring to go!
