British Values Week

During the last week of the half term we focused on British Values.

Each day we focused on one of the Values.

We also started to look at and label a map of the British Isles.

 

Day One- Democracy

 

 

Day Two -  Rule of Law

Today we made our own rules for the school.

 

Day 3- Liberty

We learnt about being proud of ourselves and risk taking.

 

 

Day 4 - Mutual Respect

 

Today we looked at all the different religions and cultures which make Britain so Unique.

 

 

Day 5 - Tolerance

We discussed how are tolerant of each other and how we can be tolerant. We then read a story about Jesus and how he taught his disciples to be tolerant.

 

The Gruffalo Trails

On Friday we were very excited, we went to find the GRUFFALO!

First we got on the mini bus- we loved it!

 

 

 

We had to follow the little mouse to find the first activity.

 

 

 

We then looked around the woods for natural resources we could use to make our own Gruffalo.

 

 

We then were blindfolded to understand how some animals feel at night time when the lights are all off.

 

 We then built a log pile house for the Snake.

 

 

We had a brilliant time!

Thank you to all the mums and dads for helping.

 

 

Harvest

Today we all walked to St Chad's Church for our Harvest service.

It was a long walk but we all did really well!

 

 

Monster Maths

Today a monster arrived in our Maths lesson- he started eating five things at a time!

We had to teach him about number bonds to five!

 

 

Roooooooar!

We have been developing our fine motor skills by making dinosaurs out of play dough.

 

 

Who is JESUS?

We had a great start to our RE lessons -

"What does Jesus mean to Christians?"

 

 

Welcome to Year 1 2015-2016!

The summer holiday are a distant memory as we have been working incredibly hard!

 

We have been learning lots of new words and consolidating lots of skills that we have already learnt.

 

We have been gathering lots of information this week.

 

 We had to describe what we could feel in the bag. We had to use adjectives to describe the objects.

 

 After we had emptied the bag we began to learn how 'classify' the objects. We are working hard to master this

 skill.

 

SCIENCE

Our new topic is called Animals including Humans.

We began by looking at food and the food pyramid.

 

 We then continued to consolidate our skill of classifying food independently.

 

 

 

 

We then discovered the groups of the food pyramid and worked as a class to make a carpet size pyramid.
