Week ending 5th July 2019

Hello Year One,


We had a very exciting end to our week as a baby grass snake came to visit us! We took it to our wildlife area and released it.





We have been busy working on halves and quarters this week. the children have been playing 'shops' and using money to buy items. They have been counting across one hundred.

For English we wrote poems about a chosen subject. The results were very impressive.

We travelled to North America this week and learned about the features of The USA and Canada. Next week we will look at South America and our focus will be Brazil.
For RE this week the children thought about God as the image of a shepherd and they wrote about how shepherds care for their flock and how we need to be cared for, protected and loved.

Next Week


On Tuesday Year Six will be carrying out an 'apprentice' style activity. As part of their learning they are given a budget and have to come up with ideas of what to buy and sell to make the most profit. All profit goes to charity.
Year One will  be able to take part in this activity by buying items or games. They can bring some money into school to do this.
The Apprentice takes place on Tuesday 9th July in the afternoon.

We will be learning how to count in twos, fives and tens. The children will be looking for patterns and making predictions. 
For English we will be starting a new project on pollution in our water and our focus will be based around the story 'Rainbow Fish.' This will become a creative activity as we will be displaying our ideas in the corridor.
We still need to complete our science project by looking at the growth process of a fruit plant.
 For RE we will be learning  how Christians think of God as a king.

I wish you a happy and restful weekend.
Ms Davis
