Hope everyone had a restful half term. We have had a great start to the term.

We have really enjoyed reading the story Anansi. The children have come up with some amazing words of wisdom and have written them down during our English lessons.

In maths this week we have been learning to recognise coins and there value.  We have also calculated the total total.

This week we have really enjoyed creating our very own Tinga Tinga Artwork! We spoke in detail about Edward Saidi Tingatinga and his use of bright bold colours. Take a look at some of the finished results…Thank you to all of our amazing Year One classes for making the first half term back so much fun! We’re looking forward to the exciting half term ahead but for now, rest, relax and have a wonderful half term.

From,

The Year One Team 😊

This week we have been learning to sort animals according to their appearance.

Here is a sorting activity we did in class.

Next week during our science session we will be sorting animals onto a pictogram. Do you know what this is? Have you heard of a pictogram before?

Next week our science vocabulary will include reptiles, mammals and amphibians.  Can you find out what these words mean ?

Hello 1N,

Today we will be celebrating World Mental Health Day.

Over the last few weeks in PSHE, we have learned about how to take care of ourselves and each other. We know how to keep our bodies healthy and we know how to put ourselves in others’ shoes and care for those around us, but do we know how to keep our minds healthy?

Click on the picture below for a book list, full of stories that can support you and your siblings or friends with managing your mental health.

Lots of people across the country are talking about mental health today because everyone has good and bad days, so remember, you are not alone.

If you have any other book recommendations that you think might help other when they are feeling sad, please let me know.

Have a great weekend!

I was so surprised by the creativity and excellent team work shown in our 3D shape challenge. These are but two of the amazing structures that the children built.
