Welcome to Year 1!
Welcome children, parents and carers to our Year 1 class page. In Year 1 we learn a variety of fascinating and fun topics these are....
Man on the Moon Topic!
We were extremely excited to begin our Man on the Moon topic. We begun our topic by talking about what we already knew about Space, we then used the IPads and a range of non-fiction books to find out more information. We found out lots of interesting facts about Space throughout the topic, we also learnt about the life of Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon.
We also worked extremely hard at home with our topic learning, Miss Fisher was incredibly proud of our home learning challenges!
Polar Explorers Topic!
We will be starting our very new and exciting Polar Explorers topic on Tuesday 5th January. We will begin our topic by learning about a lost, little penguin from the story 'Lost and Found' by Oliver Jeffers. The children will take part in lots of writing opportunities based on this story over the next two weeks and will write their own version of the story as part of our BIG WRITE.
Please take a look at both the home learning challenge document and the topic plan to see how you can support your child with their learning at home.
Thank you for your continued support,

Lost and Found Themed Day!
Today we arrived in school to find some very mysterious-looking penguin footprints, sardines and snowflakes... a trail left from a penguin, a penguin missing from Antarctica!
In English we read the story 'Lost and Found' all about the missing penguin from Antarctica, we discussed how the penguin felt at the beginning of the story when he was all alone and lost. We came up with some amazing WOW words to describe how he might have felt such as 'terrified, lonely, worried, anxious and frightened.'
We then worked together to describe what the penguin looked like and came up with some super sentences such as ' The penguin has a fluffy, white and black coat of fur and a sharp, pointy beak.'
In the afternoon we watched the Lost and Found animation and decided to design our own missing penguin posters to help find him, we also made our own mini penguins for our class display!
We are very excited to explore our classroom igloo on Thursday, inside we will be able to read lots of interesting books about the Polar Regions!
Parent Morning in Year One!
Thank you to the parents that spent the morning in Year One, we really enjoyed making our own polar clay animals!
WOW Week (World Of Work Week)
We really enjoyed a visit from Mr Vose as part of our whole school WOW week. Mr Vose talked to us about working in the Army and the important jobs he had to do to help and protect people around the world. We had lots of fun trying on Army clothing, the helmet was extremely heavy!
Out topic for this term is 'African Adventure!' We will be learning lots of interesting facts about the continent Africa - please look at our topic letters to find out what other things we will be learning about over the term.
Our topic for the Summer term will be...'Wild and Wonderful!'
We will be reading the story 'Superworm' by Julia Donaldson as part of our English learning.
