Hello Year One,
I just wanted to say what a wonderful class of children you have been. You have worked so hard and been so helpful, kind and caring. I will miss you, but you will only be next door and we will be doing many activities together when you are in Year Two.
Thank you all so much for the very generous gifts and kind words in the cards you gave me. You know my favourite shop!!
Have a great Summer break and I will see you in September.

Hello Year One,
What a busy week we have had! The Apprentice was a huge success this afternoon and the children loved visiting the stalls and spending their money!
We have been learning how to tell the time in our maths lessons this week. This is an easy one to practise at home.
For English we have been writing poems that have rhyming couplets and listening to different styles of poetry. The final activity was to write a poem about Summer and I will share this one with you.

For our geography lesson we travelled to The USA this week and learned about the climate and features of some of the states.
The children learned and labelled all the body parts in our science lesson this week.
NEXT WEEK
English
As it will be our last full week next week the children will be writing about their experiences in Year One and their hopes and wishes for Year Two.
They will be creating a 'friendship hand' whereby they write different qualities about each other on hand drawings. This is a lovely ending activity for children as they recognise the qualities they have been known for during the school year by their peers.
Maths
Next week we will continue to learn how to tell the time. This will be followed by benchmarking and solving worded maths problems.
Geography
We will be travelling to Brazil next week and will be focusing on The Amazon Rainforest.
Science
The children will be learning about the five senses.
PSHE
Our PHSE lesson will be about identifying differences between male and female animals. They will be identifying the parts of the body that make boys and girls different. They will be learning the correct names for these parts of the body.
Transition
Next Thursday the children will be spending time in their new Year Two class. This helps them get to know their new teacher and become accustomed to the classroom environment.
In the evening there will be two sessions of 'meet the teacher' at 4.30 and 5.30 for you to meet the new class teacher and be updated on what to expect for the coming year.
Have a lovely weekend

Hello Year One,
The children enjoyed role play this week! For English we are exploring poetry and we listened to the poem 'The Owl and the Pussy Cat.' This was a popular choice and I was surprised by how quickly they were able to recite the poem and use role play to enhance their understanding and develop their creativity.
For science we continued to research animals and their habitats. The children are becoming familiar with some of the animal classifications now.
NEXT WEEK
English
We will be beginning a poetry project and the children will be reciting poems, using rhyming couplets and finally creating their own poems.
Maths
The children will be learning to tell the time on the hour, half hour and quarter hour.
Geography
We will be travelling to North America next week and will explore the characteristics and features of the USA.
Science
Our topic leads us to study humans as animals and we will be exploring our senses.
The Apprentice
On Friday afternoon the children in Year Six will be raising money for Cancer Research. There will be stalls available to buy products from such as small toys, a hair dressing salon and a group selling smoothies and fruit kebabs. The children will be able to go to the different stalls. We are recommending spending money of between £3 and £5.
I hope you have a restful and enjoyable long weekend and look forward to seeing you Tuesday!
Ms Davis
