Year 1 - Summer 1 - Week 6
Date: 27th May 2022 @ 2:40pm
Wow! What a wonderful final week of half term it has been! Year 1 have been very busy, as always, completing their wonderful stories inspired by Mini Grey’s “Toys in Space”, learning how to divide by sharing into groups and creating their own e-books, for “Computing Day”. As well as all this, the children enjoyed an amazing Mad Science assembly, which took them on a journey to Mars, experiencing many incredible Science experiments along the way.
In RE, Year 1 brought their topic on baptism to a close. Wearing their black thinking hats, they recalled all that they had learnt this half term and enjoyed playing “Two Facts and a Fib”, to test their knowledge. They then created their own circle maps, which were extremely detailed and showcased all the wonderful learning that had taken place throughout the topic.
On Friday, the children had the most wonderful day celebrating The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. To begin the celebrations, we enjoyed a class talent show, during which, children auditioned for a place in the live finals of “TSP’s Got Talent”. Year 1 blew us away with their incredible acts and bravery when performing in front of an audience. We had lots of acts, including magicians, gymnasts, dancers and martial arts! The children were incredible and made it a very difficult decision, when it came to deciding just two acts to represent our class, later that day. We were amazed by all the performances and smiled from ear to ear, as we sat back and enjoyed the fabulous entertainment. It was then time for a celebratory afternoon tea. Sat at our banquet table fit for royalty, we enjoyed a cup of tea and a piece of cake… Victoria sponge, of course! After lunch, the moment had finally arrived. It was time for “TSP’s Got Talent”! Judges ready and the Royal Family in attendance, our Year 1 acts bravely, confidently and wonderfully represented our class. Our whole class was bursting with pride, as we watched our friends perform.
Well done for another brilliant half term, Year 1! You have worked so hard and have continued to make your teachers very proud. Have a great half term and enjoy your jubilee celebrations!
