Week beginning 16th January

Date: 21st Jan 2017 @ 5:27pm

This week we have been innovating the Supertato story by changing our hero, villain, setting and outcome. The children have used their innovated story map to write some super stories. Next week we invent our own super hero stories and the children will be creating super hero models in our ' stay and make' session on Wednesday morning as an inspiration. Thank you to all those Mums, Dads and Grandparents that have offered to help...it's not too late to come along if you have time! New spellings will be in diaries on Monday and the chldren will have short test on Friday morning.

In Maths we focused on mass, predicting which items were heavier and less than others before we started weighing in multilink and then grammes. We are delighted to hear that the children enjoyed their first My Maths homework. The next piece will be set on Wednesday.

In Science we continued to classify materials by their properties and as part of our history focus we discovered more about Florence Nightingale. We drew some beautiful portraits of our personal heroes and wrote about why we chose them. These are displayed in the classroom if you would like to come and have a look.

Miss Bostock, a trainee teacher will be working with us in Year 1 on a Tuesday for the next 8 weeks before she joins us full time in the weeks leading up to Easter. Please do make yourself known to her at the beginning or end of the school day.

The children have been working very hard this week and we are really pleased to observe such enthusiasm. Well done Year 1.
