The Plover colour run is back! Thursday 28th August!

15th July 2025Miss Blackham

We will be kick-starting the new academic year focusing on character traits. As part of our first week back, we will be looking at the character trait compassion and raising funds for our crew charity of the year – the RSPCA as well raising much needed school funds. Letters will be sent out in the first week back and we require them to be signed in order for your child to participate.

We are kindly asking for donations which will be split between the RSPCA and school funds. These donations can be made every day in the first week back and we ask they are passed on to your child’s class teacher.

Please can your child attend school on the day in either a white or light coloured t-shirt. Whilst we would hope the paint will come out once the clothes have been washed, we ask you only send your child in clothes you do not mind being stained just incase the paint will not wash out.

Thank you for your continued support. Any questions, please see Mr Meade or Miss Blackham.

BLAST OFF!

25th June 2025Abigale Crawford

Last week Year 1 were challenged by NASA to design and create a rocket protype that could be blasted off into space. Of course, we had to test out our rockets. We filled them with fuel and pumped them with air to see how high they would go! We had lots of fun!

Who, what, where, when, how – WE CAN WRITE QUESTIONS NOW!

6th May 2025Kathleen Cunningham

We took our learning outside last week and embarked on a question word hunt. The children worked in teams to see how many question words they could find in our playground. We enjoyed being out in the sun and working collaboratively with our friends.

We then came into the classroom to turn our words into sentences (and not forgetting a question mark either!) We then all wrote a question sentence based on something we had seen in our book.

Hook Day!

6th May 2025Kathleen Cunningham

Better late than never!

To introduce our new topic, North, East, South, West, we opened up our own Plover Airport. As part of our experience day in 1CR we designed our very own passport for our upcoming adventures and talked about what our dream destinations are! We learned about our personal information and why it is important to know it.

We then had Mrs. Malik as an expert. Mrs. Malik worked in the aviation industry for a number of years in all different roles. She has been a highflying air hostess, travelling all over the world but as also had other roles at Heathrow Airport and Doncaster. The children used the time to ask her questions about her experiences.

After lunch we had our 1CR aeroplane. We watched an in flight safety video and prepared for take off! The children enjoyed some squash on the plane whilst watching a documentary about “The Day in the Life of a Pilot”.

To finish our day we followed instructions to make paper aeroplanes. We then took them outside to see who could throw theirs the furthest. A big well done to Ariana who was our overall winner!

1Cr Celebration of Learning!

9th December 2024Abigale Crawford

A huge thank you to all of you wonderful grown-ups who attended our Celebration of Learning on Friday. It was wonderful to see your children so excited to show you what they had been learning; they have definitely taught me some things about William the Conquerer! We hope you enjoyed the quiz and making a catapult.

Graffiti Artist!

31st August 2024Abigale Crawford

On Wednesday, we met James! James talked to us all about Graffiti art. Unfortunately, we were a bit too young for the spray paints but we did a fabulous job rolling the background.

1/2K Celebration of Learning

2nd July 2024Abigale Ketteringham

Thank you so much to those wonderful parents who joined us this afternoon for our celebration of learning. They delivered a wonderful presentation of our learning and it was so great to see everyone being super brave to say their own parts. I am so proud of all of you 1/2K!

The children have worked so hard this term as both local Geographers and local Historians. They have shown great enthusiasm learning more about the things they see all the time and I am so proud of their achievements. We were especially proud of our final product. We have created a scheme of learning to teach others BSL, we hope to spread this around to educate and open up conversations for as many people as we can. This has been something that has been very important in our classroom and the impact for our children really has been something special to be a part of.

Finding Half!

5th June 2024Abigale Ketteringham

In our lesson today we were recognising and finding half of a quantity. We know from our previous lessons that finding a half is when there are two equal groups. Around the room we had different numbers that the children worked in groups to find half of.

We then talked about having an odd numbers. We cannot find a half of an odd number as there will always be a spare.

Marvellous Home Learning in 1C!

7th March 2024Kathleen Cunningham

Just look at the beautiful work Almina created at home! She has made an entire ocean in a tank and included examples of pollution, which is harming our sea creatures. This is linked to our current expedition in Key Stage 1; The Blue Planet. She also wrote this beautiful piece explaining why it is important that we look after our oceans!
Well done Almina! I am very proud!
