1M have been doing charanga during this half term with Mr Schofield. They have been exploring different musical instruments, how to make music and beats with their body parts and creating different rhythms. #LovePlover

To ensure the children continue to work hard and get smart, we have started a little competition between the crews.
Each FRIDAY the children will bring home a homework sheet. This will have a space to record their reading on and some maths and spelling homework.
The children will have until the following THURSDAY to complete the homework and return to their crew leader.
This will replace the reading logs.
The children that complete their home learning, will earn points towards a treat at the end of the term. But they can only earn points if they return their homework! Children will be able to complete this at school as well if needed, during a lunchtime club.
We understand that it is a whole family effort, so we will also be running a raffle for a parent prize. Each time a homework sheet is returned we will enter into a small prize draw.
We were The Greatest Animal Orchestra in the World this week. We travelled by plane to Paris, ate warm pain au chocolate in the cafe and then played our instruments at The Eiffel Tower. We wrote you all a postcard, using features of Year 1 writing, too! Ask your children what they are. We were just like Stan and Mabel from our story!
We have had our first expert visitors who taught us about some musical instruments and how they work. We then learnt how we can use our body and voices as our own instruments to make music. What do you think?
Each week as part of our Reading Crew, the children are going to be learning to perform and recite poetry. We decided to start with a traditional funny poem.
Have a go at reading with us!
