Local area walk

This afternoon we went for a short walk around our local area. We tried to find some different types of house. Have a look at the pictures below and see if you can remember what they are called. 

Worm Poetry

This morning we had a good look inside a bucket of worms! We thought of some fantastic words to describe them before we listened to some poems. We worked in groups to discuss what we enjoyed about each one. 

 Look at our fabulous adjectives! 

Aerial Maps

Today we have been very busy creating maps of our classroom.  We started by looking at the different features of our classroom and then drew around shapes to show the objects we could see.  We imagined we were a spider looking down from the ceiling to do this! Tomorrow we will use our maps to mark where Naughty Bus has been in our classroom! 

All About Me Homework

Look at some of the amazing pieces of homework we have completed!

This week's a Year 1 stars are KC and Olivia.

This week we made healthy salads ourselves. KC wrote a super set of instructions for how to make a healthy salad using different time words. Well done KC!

Olivia is always polite, remembers to say please and thank you and has an overall super attitude! 

Keep it up! 

Zoo Lab

This week Year 1 had a visit from Zoo Lab. A ranger came in and taught us about different animals. We even got to hold some! 

First we got to hold a giant snail. Did you know that this snail has lots of tiny little ? Even more than a shark!

Then we got to look at and hold a cockroach.

We also got to see a tarantula but we weren't allowed to touch it as it is too dangerous! 

We also saw a snake...

And Sandy the mouse!

Stars of the week

This week's Year 1 stars are Harvey and Joshua.

Harvey has been making super effort with his reading all term. Well done Harvey! 

Joshua has had a super attitude all week, always remembering to be polite and always sitting beautifully on the carpet! Keep it up Joshua! 

Remember PE is on a Monday, and stars will be awarded to everyone who remembers to bring in their PE kit. 

I hope you all have a lovely half-term holiday!

Classroom Maps

Today Year 1 have been making maps of the classroom. We looked at the different features of our classroom and drew around shapes to show the different objects in our classroom. We also made keys with symbols so that people looking at our maps know what everything is. Tomorrow we will use our maps to follow a path to hidden treasure!

Here are some photos of us drawings our maps.

Burwardsley Residential - Day 2

After our big cooked breakfast this morning we went for a long walk to the local dairy farm. We saw the cows and even some baby calves! We found out that cows eat grass, and also sometimes sweetcorn and straw. 

We also went to the milking parlour where cows go to get milked. We learned about how they get milked and the journey of the milk goes before it gets to us in the shops.

Everyone came back to school very tired but very happy!

Year 1 Burwardsley Residential

Year 1 have had a fantastically fun-filled day today!

First we played some team games led by John, Adam and Matt. We had to practice our listening skills and work together to solve problems.

Next we went for a walk up Willow Hill and built dens.

First we had to collect sticks and carry them safely to make the frame. 

After that we picked up lots of leaf litter to cover the dens.

We made three dens in total. We wondered if we could sleep in them overnight but decided not to this time!

This evening we had hot chocolate and story time. We can't wait until we go to the farm tomorrow! 

Goodnight! 

Stars of the week

This week's Year 1 stars are KC and Tymek.

KC wrote some super sentences describing Max from 'Where the Wild Things Are' and his feelings. Mrs Denny was really impressed with your work! Well done! 

Tymek did an excellent piece of homework this week. He drew a really detailed and colourful story map to recount the different parts of the story. Well done Tymek! 

I hope everyone is looking forward to our trip to Burwardsley on Monday! 

Stars of the week

The Year 1 stars this week are Lily and Heidi. 

Lily retold the story 'Where the Wild Things Are' in front of the whole class using her story map to help, and included many details! 

Heidi did some excellent work in Numeracy, using straws to represent tens and units in numbers to 100. 

Well done both of you! 

Remember that Monday is now our PE day and you must have your PE kit (shorts, school t-shirt and plimsolls) to get a house point! 

Have a lovely weekend,

Where the Wild Things Are

This week we started a new text in Literacy called 'Where the Wild Things Are'. We have been reading the story every day to get to know the characters and the plot. We have been drawing story maps to show what happens in the story.

Here we are working hard on our story maps:

Can you tell what the story is about from our drawings?

Welcome back!

Welcome back Year 1!

Last week's Stars in Year 1 were Ruby and Kalvin. Ruby did some excellent phonics work, learning the 'oa' and 'ew' sounds. Kalvin was really enthusiastic about our new topic 'Where can we go?' and participated very well by answering many questions about local rivers.

We also had some excellent homework brought in after the holiday. Elias made a poster on the computer with old and new photos of Ellesmere Port. 

Leah made a model of a house from the past and also made a poster where she drew and labelled different forms of transport.

Well done to Leah and Elias! 

I look forward to seeing many more creative homework tasks! remember, homework is given out on Friday and should be back in on Thursday.
