Year 1 - Autumn 1 - Week 8
Date: 17th Oct 2024 @ 4:33pm
We have had a wonderful start to Year 1. This half term the children have particularly enjoyed exploring their new classroom, Harvest (which included making a Sukkot), The 4 countires of the United Kingdom as well as reflecting on how we can be good friends and role models within our class. During Collective Worship, we focused on Dignity, Respect and Generosity and how we can show all these values in everyday life. We are really proud of how all the children have adapted to Year 1, and how well they have settled into KS1.
Other highlights include:
- Exploring a range of texts such as; 'Don't hug Doug!', 'The Stickman', 'Room on the Broom' and 'The Gruffalo' to name a few! We have loved reading them together and re-enacting them in our small world.
- Developing our sending and recieving skills in PE as well as practising our jumping, hoping and skipping!
- Tasting food, learning dances and investigating the culture of the 4 countries in the United Kingdom, did you know that the national animal of Scotland is a unicorn?
- Making a Sukkot and having hot chocolates in it as part of our Harvest topic.
- Making flowers for others as part of Hello Yellow Day.
- Creating some incredible artwork by drawing from observations!
Have a lovely half term!
Reminders for next half term:
- PE will continue on a Wednesday and Thursday.
- Children should bring a bookbag bag to school instead of a backpack.
- A small, healthy snack should be brought to school if needed but fruit is provided each day.
