Collaboration in Expedition

Congratulations to Ralph for working hard with his phonics and reading.

Children have been exploring different groups of animals in expedition and sorting them by their characteristics! #LovePlover

Busy day and busy weekend for some!

1M have had an absolutely fantastic day on the whole, full of learning and celebration!

Shout out to Bobby and Atlas for continuing their expedition learning at home over the weekend. They have created sea creatures with recyclable materials! This will immerse our classroom even more.

Congratulations to Demi who won our 1M superstar of the week trophy – for being creative and her outstanding drawings!

Year 1 enjoyed learning the basics of hockey in PE and we put an under the sea theme on our games.

In maths children learnt about the time on a analogue clock – half past and o’clock.

Save our Sea!

On Friday we became producers, actors/actresses and directors! We decided we wanted to make our message loud and clear so we hope you like our video. I would definitely call Hook Week a success because I canā€™t stop talking about our expedition topic.

I want to praise all of 2B for their hard work this morning, we did a lot of writing and some self critique this afternoon with Mrs Keir. Just like Austin with his butterfly, it is important we look like scientists at our work and if we have to edit it and make changes to make it beautiful, then we must! Iā€™ve seen a huge improvement in your attitudes this term. We are not allowed to give up, no matter how tricky the work is – we can do this together 2B!

See you all tomorrow.

Y1 PE Kit & Book Bags reminder

Good evening Year 1

Mr Meade and Miss Newton hope you have all had a lovely weekend.

Just a couple reminders we would like you all to get into a good habit of:

1. PE is Monday and Friday – bring PE kit bag on Monday and take it home on a Friday! PE kit = white t-shirt, dark jumper/hoody, dark shorts, dark joggers, different pair of trainers, NO earrings!

2. Bring plastic book bag everyday, to keep record of reading minutes and to put letters in – books to be changed Monday and Thursday!

Thank you Year 1 šŸ™‚

Self-Critque = Astonishing Artwork ✏🖼🐟🐡🐠

I am simply blown away! The quality of these drawings 1M have independently produced, simply from self and peer critique is superb! Check the progress from the three drafts to their fourth and final fish – the children have thoroughly followed ‘Austin’s Butterfly method on critique!’

Great work 1M 10 Crew coins each.

We have had a great week in 2P.

The children have used origami to create dolphins for the learning environment.

The children critiqued their artwork, explaining clearly what we needed to improve, the perseverance the children showed was amazing. Ā Some completed 5 sketches, making improvements all the time. Showing resilience and a pride in their work.

 

 

The children also thought carefully about our hook week activities and wrote their notices and praises.

A truly super start to the new term.

We are now really excited to learn more about out new expedition.

Austin’s Butterfly – critique

1M have been developing their critique skills and making improvements to their artwork! Draft 1 by scratch, draft 2 after having a visual aid, draft 3 after self-critique … the progress is awesome! #LovePlover

Superstar Hasty

Mrs Ogle was very impressed with the creativity, skills and explanation of how and why Hasty has made this clownfish! #LovePlover

Welcome Rufus

Congratulations and a big welcome to Rufus who joined 1M on Tuesday and has been a tremendous addition! Working hard, getting smart and being kind.

Check out 1M yesterdays working collaboratively to ask questions, where they then learnt how to write a question.
