In English this week we have followed and then written instructions about how to grow a plant (or will it be a dinosaur- who knows?)
We also used our 5 senses to explore and describe our playground setting, classroom setting and then our ‘small world’ dinosaur setting.
Top work superstars!
Congratulations to our KS1 Plover Praise and yellow t-shirt winners!
1M- Peyton for continuing to show a work hard, get smart and be kind attitude. This week she has gone the extra mile with her learning at home to learn more about sign language and research about dinosaurs. Well done Peyton!
1/2C- Lena for working hard in all her Maths, English and expedition learning this week. As well as showing great confidence and courage to work with other children. Keep it up Lena!
2P- Morris for showing some fantastic learning in maths. By not only deepening his own understanding but also supporting and helping others to develop their maths learning. Top work Morris!
Today the superstars have been learning about adjectives. They have used adjectives to describe dinosaurs and humans. During our science expedition we have been comparing human body parts to dinosaur body parts!
Little Ellie velociraptor… medium Karlie-Rose pterodactyl … big Mitchell brachiosaurus
We have had a fabulous start in our new class. The children are really enjoying their Expedition work. I’d like to give a ‘shout out ‘to Lena and Khongkwan for their illustrations. They imagined what the front cover would be to our new text. Great work girls 👍
Congratulations to Nelly on winning the first Yellow T-Shirt in Year 1!
She has been such a kind and fabulous role model to everyone within KS1 during the first four weeks! She shows all the attitudes in our Plover Pledge. Works hard, getting smart, being kind and staying safe.
Who will be this weeks winner?
On Monday in English we introduced our new text ‘How to grow a dinosaur’. Children made predictions and designed what the front cover may look like. Some brilliant illustrations- well done superstars! They then worked hard to collaboratively complete the jigsaw.
Yesterday, we continued exploring our new text and described ‘wonders, feelings and things’ about the character ‘Albie’. A great start to our learning- keep it up 1M! 🙂 
Things turned very Jurassic Park last week… or shall we say “Ploverassic Park!”
All children in Key Stage 1 and teachers (some parents too) were truly captivated by the immersive activities which took place last week.
We hope you enjoy seeing what fantastic things your children got up to, to hook them into their learning expedition about dinosaurs. The KS1 guiding question is ‘Where did all the dinosaurs go?’
Enjoy a well earned rest this weekend and we look forward to getting our ‘claws’ into our learning expedition next week!
KS1 team 🙂
Congratulations to Luca for receiving the Yellow T Shirt this week. He has been such a fabulous role model, he is a young man who always tries hard and is so kind, respectful and polite to others. Luca you are a superstar.
It was a tough choice though as I have a class of amazing children,
