First few days back., by Mrs Catterall
Date: 4th Sep 2021 @ 8:57pm
3 days back and the children have been amazing, they have settled back in and are shining brightly. This week we began our science topic all about Electricity, explored 3 and 4 and 6 and 6 digit numbers, reading and writing them! Our English work is about the genre of Fantasy. We are focusing on dragons as an aspect of this genre. We have read a book called - ‘Tell me a dragon’ and matched up sentences to describe the dragons before having a go and writing our own. We have linked this to our art unit of work where we will explore shades of colour using pencil crayons before designing and making a dragons eye out of clay.
A great start!, by Mrs Pratten

The Pandas have had a great start to life in Year 1. A mixture of more formal activities and continuous provision. You can find out what we have been up to on this blog and talk to your children about their learning as we progress through the year.
In Year 1 the children have a morning snack which can be a healthy snack from home or toast provided by school.Toast is starting on Monday and if you would like your child to have toast, it is 20 p a day paid for each half term, so this half term will be £7. Please hand it in to Linda in the office, in a named envelope and class too. You have to order for the half term you can’t choose daily or weekly.
Meet the teacher is on Wednesday and will be via Google classroom,please note the passwords have changed to make them more child friendly.The children will come home on Monday with the updated ones.
Have a lovely weekend,see you all on Monday?

The bug man visit, by Mrs Catterall
Date: 5th Jul 2021 @ 11:39am
This morning we had a visit from the John Vale. He talked to us about vertebrate and invertebrate as we got to see some animals of different types.
Well done Elephants you were outstanding at listening during the whole session and were very quiet so as not to scare the creatures.
Pippa asked an amazing question and we found out that some animals shrink as they get older.
The slime from an African land scale kills germs. (Elizabeth)
Snakes are venomous not poisionous. (Olive)
I didn’t know that some animals can see hot and cold, that was interesting, it was why we couldn’t look directly at them. (Elizabeth)
Spider’s webs are the strongest material in the world. If it was as thick as a pencil it would stop a jumbo jet. (Noah)
