1CU Take a Trip to the Woods!

8th November 2024Kathleen Cunningham

This week, 1CU had the opportunity to visit Sandall Beat Woods and learn all about life in the past as part of our expedition From Rags to Riches. We made a shelter that became our medieval castle, created our own knight armour out of recycled milk bottles and even experienced cooking stew and bread over an open fire! Then we got to put our armour to the test in our very own battle with flour bombs to see which team would be made the champions!

The children had the best time and are still talking about all the fun they had at the end of the week!

Computing in Year 1

16th April 2024Lucy Wood

1C had a great time this afternoon learning how to code in computing. All children were able to create different algorithms to move their characters across a screen. They also learnt how to create different backdrops and had an amazing time experimenting to see what else they could make their characters do.

World Book Day 2024

22nd February 2024Mrs Graves

We are looking forward to celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 7th March.

It would be lovely to see the children dressed up as their favourite book character, but please don’t feel like you have to rush out and buy a costume!

£1 Book Vouchers will be given to children on the day which can be spent in most supermarkets and book shops, but we do also have a Book Fayre coming into school the following week, and children can put their voucher towards the cost of a book at that event – more details to follow soon.

More information can be found on https://www.worldbookday.com

RE in Year 1

16th November 2023Lucy Wood

Today in our RE lesson, Year 1 learnt all about Christenings and Baptisms. Some children even acted out a role play of a Christening. They were then able to pop the key words onto the picture of a baptism scene. Super work Year 1!

RE in 2P

15th November 2023Lucy Wood

Year 2 were learning all about different Christian celebrations in RE, particularly christenings and baptisms. The children learnt all about what happens in a baptism ceremony and all the key words involved. They were then able to successfully label the diagram and enjoyed colouring in the picture when they were finished. Great work Year 2!

Remembrance in 1LI.

10th November 2023Lisa Ibbertson

This week the children have enjoyed making poppies and talking about the reason we use them to remember and celebrate.

We had an amazing assembly from Elizabeth’s mum, as an Expert visitor, speaking to us about her life as a soldier. We also had a moving assembly, featuring Mr Chandler playing us the last post on his trumpet.

We have been learning about verbs as action words, please talk about verbs at home in your everyday activities.

Well done to those children who sent in their wonderful home learning!

Here are some examples from John and Almina.

Well done to Alfie, for his hard work in phonics and showing his mum his achievements at home.

An amazing week in 1LI!

3rd November 2023Lisa Ibbertson

This week our children have worked hard with their literacy to understand common and proper nouns, and verbs in order to use these in their writing.

We enjoyed learning our poem “In Flanders Fields.”

We are also learning the names of 3D shapes, please support this at home with finding household objects which are cylinders, cubes, cuboids, cones, pyramids and spheres.
