Finger spaces!

We have been working hard to use leave spaces between our words when writing and have been using some fun things to help us! 

Can you find the pot of finger space helpers in the classroom to see what other things you can use to help? 

Stars of the week - 3rd October 2014

This week our stars in Year 1 are Maisie and Jason.

Maisie has completed some super numeracy work this week where she  identified how many objects were in groups and then used the words 'most' and 'least' to label the groups.

Jason worked with Mrs Denny this week to write a super thank you letter. Jason pretended to be the little boy in the 'The Naughty Bus' and write a letter to say thank you for his shiny red bus! 

All of the children have worked very hard this week, well done! 

Signs of Autumn

Even the adults in Year 1 have been out and about looking for signs of autumn as part of this weeks homework. Here are a few photos of what they have found: 

Muddy puddles and fallen leaves 

Lots and lots of conkers; their coat was a lot heavier on the way home! 

Crunchy leaves

Berries on trees and bushes.

What other signs of autumn have you managed to find? 

Another parcel!

A few days after our first mystery parcel the children spotted another parcel on top of the whiteboard; we opened it and discovered a book called 'The Naughty Bus'! 

We read part of the book and found out the a little boy was given a red bus as a present. In the story the bus drives past a line of people who are queuing for him.

We wrote lists of the people who were queuing for the bus: 

We had to remember to write each object on a new line.

We are excited to find out what the Naughty Bus is going to do next! 

The Naughty Bus

Since the beginning of September some mysterious things have been happening in Year 1! It began with a mystery parcel being delivered; no one knew what was in the parcel or who had ordered so the children had a go at writing sensible predictions as to what the parcel could be.

We then opened the parcel and discovered that it was a little red bus! The parcel also contained some pictures; we looked at them carefully and discovered that the bus had already been exploring our classroom. Can you tell where he has been?

We drew maps of where the bus had been in our classroom and outdoor area.

We then discovered that the bus had been exploring around our school and left his tyre prints all over the walls! We used a map of the school to record the places where he had visited. 

We decided that the bus was a little bit naughty to do all of this exploring without us knowing! 

Stars of the week - 19th September 2014

This week Mrs Heaps, Mrs Denny and I have chosen Teagan and Kyle to be our stars of the week.

Kyle has been working very hard in phonics with Miss Smethurst and decided to carry on practising his phonics even after the session had ended. Kyle thought of different words with the 'ea' sound and recorded them in our writing area.

Teagan is our star of the week because of her all round super attitude! She is a very kind and helpful member of the class and she tries her best in everything she does! 

Well done Kyle and Teagan! 

Stars of the Week - 26th September 2014

This week the adults in Year 1 choose Ryan and Corey as their stars of the week.

Ryan has completed some excellent number work this week; he has been reading numbers to 50 and then placing them in the correct places on a blank number track. 

Corey has been working really hard in phonics this week; he is always one of the first to suggest a word or read a sound, well done Corey! 

Well done to our stars of the week!
