An amazing week in year 1! We have been exploring numbers and matching numbers and their words together. In science we have been looking at the parts of a tree and identifying the 6 areas! In English we have been reading the story of the 3 little pigs and writing some sentences to go with parts of the story. Next week we will be writing up part of the story for our Big Write! Please have a look on the year 1 class page to see the timetable for next week.

Have a lovely weekend!

Year 1 Team

Today we had our first woods session of the year! As a team, we love seeing the children explore this amazing environment on a warm, sunny afternoon (some of our children for the very first time) 

Today, Birch Class took a ‘boring sentence’ and developed and improved it together as a class.  The children discussed where the words should go, what punctuation was needed whilst coming up with a fab sentence collectively!

They then went to their table, inspired to writing interesting sentences full of detail.

Here’s some pictures of our class ‘living sentence’ using colourful semantics to help us.

Today, Year 1 and 2 came together in the hall to celebrate the learning that had taken place this week.  Two children received our lovely new certificates linked to our Vision Circle and Growth Guide.  Well done to those individuals!

We also celebrated the class with the most children who read 5 times in a week.  The winning class was Mr Evan’s, so next Friday they get the extra play on the climbing frame!

Who will win the awards next week? You have to be in it to win it so make sure you get those 5 reads in!!!!

Our story is about a bear so we drew bears using circles and lines. As you will see some of the bears have numerous legs and ears 😅, but each child had a go! What wonderful drawings. 

Following on from our science lesson yesterday, we learnt about a new force called air resistance. We tested the effect of it on different sized parachutes being dropped from the same height. We predicted that the smallest parachute would fall quickest because it had less air resistance and we were right! 

Some of our Year 5 and 6 children spent the day at Honiton Library with the Double Elephant print workshop. We first used leaves and other interesting materials like bubble wrap, corrugated cardboard and netting to create a composition to print with. In the afternoon, the children created collagraph prints using cardboard to create different images of their choice. We all had a brilliant day and were so pleased with our final prints!

Before you explore what being a World Ready Person really means for you, you have to understand about the world, planet earth and where we all fit into the bigger picture! Reception used Google Earth to explore these questions and brainstorm what we already understand about planet earth and what it means to be, 'world ready'.

This afternoon, Year 6 produced detailed line drawings of the heart. Earlier in the week, we used preliminary sketches to reflect on our artistic techniques before working on our final pieces today. Have a look at how we got on!
