Welcome to Class One's Page

The children in Class 1 thoroughly enjoyed their Craft Morning. they made paperchains, angels, Christingle candles and reindeer food. They also created their own Christmas jumper designs.

As part of their Autumn topic the children have been using their wellies to learn.  They had a welly throwing competition to improve their motor skills and coordination, and practiced their letter formation by writing their name in chalk on the playground.

As part of their topic relating to the weather,  the children in Reception made kites. They have tested them and, as soon as it is windy enough, they will have their maiden flight. All the children had a fantastic time and they learnt about the wind and how to make their kits fly.

Reception's Talk for Writing book this term is "We're going on a Bear Hunt". Today they made their own binoculars and went searching for bears. Luckily there were none in the school playground.

This year we are being visited by an Elf who is creating lots of mischief. The children are thoroughly enjoying discovering what he has been up tp each morning. 

Today the children in Reception have had their first lesson on the Balance Bikes. They learnt how to propel the bikes and then how to glide and stop. They all tried really hard and are looking forward to the next lesson.

Reception's topic this term is On the Farm and the children have been learning about farm animals and how to care for them. This morning they have been shearing sheep!

In preparation for their trip to Mini Meadows Reception have been learning all about life on the farm. Today they milked the cows and sold the milk in the Farm Shop they have set up. As well as selling milk the shop sells flowers and vegetables.

The children in Reception have been planning carrot seeds with the help of Nanna Lellla. They planted them in clear plastic bottles so they can watch them grow. 

Today the children in Reception had a mission, to free the dinosaurs! The dinosaurs were frozen in ice and the children were asked to predict how they thought they could be released from the ice. They came up with some great suggestions which they tried. These included 'bashing' them, pouring warm water on them, adding salt to the ice and submerging the ice trapped dinosaurs in warm water. A combination of all these suggestion ensured that the dinosaurs could be set free.
