Back into the swing of things., by Mr Kennedy
Date: 10th Sep 2021 @ 9:52am
It's been a great full week back in the year 6 classroom with lots of brainpower!
We have been exploring our new text 'The Nowhere Emporium' in English and investigating key vocabulary and its impact on the reader and the senses.
In Maths we have been deepening our understanding of place values in numbers up to 10,000,000!
History welcomed us to Ancient Greece as we explored the timeline before we delve in further to key events and people.
In Jigsaw, we have been understanding the universal rights of children and where our chocolate comes from. We compared agriculture to farming in the UK.
In Science, we have been exploring and investigating how the Earth, Moon move and their relationship with the Sun - you can have a look at this lesson HERE
Have a wonderful weekend!
A great start with a welly walk - Thursday 9th September, by Mrs Thomson
Date: 9th Sep 2021 @ 8:48pm
We started the day with a welly walk! We had a good look around the running track, at the apple trees in the orchard and then we headed to the front of school to collect sticks from under the trees. Mrs. Thomson did plan for rain so we could wear our puddle suits but it stayed sunny for us.
We painted using our sticks and also had a lot of fun in the sand pit.

We had fun in PE moving in different ways, balancing beanbags on different parts of our bodies and throwing them into hoops.This afternoon we played some parachute games.We had to listen carefully and all work together.We were fantastic and loved it!
Wellbeing Wednesday!, by Mrs Thomson
Date: 8th Sep 2021 @ 5:10pm
Wellbeing Wednesday started with PE in the hall. The lions were fantastic at getting changed and I have my fingers crossed that everyone has gone home in their own uniform. We have been very busy again today although we had lots of time to cool down as the heat made us feel a little sleepy. We made colour bottles for our puppet show and finished the day with story massage. The lions were amazing at the ‘Twinkle Twinkle’ massage.

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.
