Making hand puppets

8/12/2020

 
​After investigating what hand and finger puppets are and how they work, the children designed their own hand puppet and described how it works.  They then used a pre-cut template of fabric for the base of their puppet. They then joined the fabric together using simple stitches. Then they cut simple shapes from fabric and joined them to their puppet using glue and staples. 

Mary our Mother

4/12/2020

 
​Our RE topic this term is Mary our Mother and Advent.
The children retold the story of the Visitation and wrote an Advent promise in preparation for Christmas. 

Traction Man

25/11/2020

 
​Year 1 have been working very hard with their writing about our class book Traction Man. They have written their favourite part of the story and have written amazing character descriptions.
Well done Year 1!

Sequence and use past tense

24/11/2020

 
The children worked in groups to sequence one of the missions discussed in our class book Traction Man. Working as a group, they sequenced the images into chronological order of the mission taking place. This session allowed the children to orally rehearse using the past tense. They were encouraged to use the following Adverbial phrases:
 unfortunately
 luckily
 suddenly
 just then
 just in time
 early one morning
 late one evening
 one afternoon
 out in the garden

What materials are waterproof?

20/11/2020

 
​The children answered the big question ‘What materials are waterproof?’. They investigated which materials would be best for Traction Man when he is exploring the bath. First, they predicted which material would be the most waterproof. In small groups they used a pipette filled with water and observed which materials absorbed the water and when the water sat on top of the material (waterproof). 

Wonder at the amazing things that happen to those who trust in God

20/11/2020

 
The children participated in Godly Play and listened to the story of the Visitation. We responded to the following ‘I wonder’ statements:
  • I wonder how Mary felt when she was travelling to see Elizabeth
  • I wonder how Elizabeth felt about Mary staying with her
  • I wonder what Mary and Elizabeth talked about

Come and tell a story

13/11/2020

 

​In Year 1 the children also enjoy telling each other stories through small world and story spoons.

Reading for pleasure.

13/11/2020

 

​In Year 1 we love reading for pleasure. The book we will be reading and learning this half term is ‘Traction Man’ by Mini Grey. Perhaps, you can read some other books by the author Mini Grey with your child. 

Materials

13/11/2020

 

​Our new Science topic this term is materials. The children identified and classified materials in our school. Why not ask your child about the materials they learnt?

Welcome to Year 1

11/9/2020

 
The children had their first day in their new class.They enjoyed meeting their teachers and familarising themselves with their new
environments. 
School life rapidly returned to normal with exciting lessons, stories and circle time.
