This week in Year One we have been exploring 2D shapes. We had a brilliant time finding, building and exploring shapes.
Mrs Stothard set us a super challenge. Could we make a circle with the peg board?
It was very tricky but we were able to prove it was impossible.
Today Year One became ‘Spooky School’. We played party games in the hall, then we made witches and bats. It was brilliant fun! On the afternoon we watched a spooky film and had some spooky snacks.
Everyone looked fantastic in their costumes too!
What a fun day!
This week in Year 1 we have been exploring pumpkins. On Monday three special pumpkins arrived! We wanted to find out which pumpkin had the most seeds. Everyone estimated the largest pumpkin would have the most seeds.
Then we had great fun scooping out the pumpkins and using our counting strategies.
Our results were:
Pumpkin : 575 seeds
Pumpkin 2: 552 seeds
Pumpkin 3: 516 seeds
This meant the smallest pumpkin had the most seeds! We were very surprised!
As part of our ‘Once Upon A Time’ topic we have been looking at castles. We looked at the features, then drew castles and had great fun creating our own.
We are looking forward to making chalk castles next week.
In Year One we have been learning about churches. This week we created our own stained glass windows using card and tissue paper.
They look amazing and have brightened up our classroom.
To welcome the children back to school in September, each class bubble shared the story ‘Here We Are’ by Oliver Jeffers.
We had great fun learning about our wonderful world and thinking about the special places, people and animals in it. It made us all think about how lucky we are to have such an amazing world.
We created some beautiful work to share our thoughts with everyone in school.
What brilliant work it is!

This week in Year One we have started our new topic ‘Once Upon A Fairy Tale’. This week we have read The Three Little Pigs.
In English we have sequenced the story and made a wolf wanted poster. We have also had lots of fun building houses for the pigs and exploring our environment.
This week in Year 1 we have had lots of fun exploring our environment.
We have been working hard learning our tricky words and have had lots of fun in the role play area. Next week we are starting our new topic: Fairy Tales!
Year 1 have chosen to adopt a Tiger . It was a difficult decision to make as we needed a class teddy and there were lots of endangered animals we wanted to help. We took a vote and settled on a Tiger.
Today our adoption pack arrived from the WWF. It had two tigers in! It also had lots of pictures, information and some stickers! We can’t wait to take a tiger home when we become child of the week.
We just need to pick two names. Any suggestions?
