Welcome to Class One's Page

The children have had a great time developing their balancing skills on the Balance Bikes.

This week's animal Allsorts topic is Farm animals.  The children are having an amazing time milking the cows, collecting eggs and then using the eggs (plastic) to make cakes. They have used books to write about their favourite animals and have used their phonics skills to match pictures of farm animals with words. They even had the opportunity to play with a farmyard with real cereal crops.

To help the children study how ice freezes they made iced lollies from unsweetened fruit juice. They then monitored them as they froze. The next day they thoroughly enjoyed eating the fruits of their labour.

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.
