Today, class one and two enjoyed a fantastic feast cooked by the wonderful Maxine. The children and staff enjoyed our special dinner. We would all like to thank Maxine and staff who helped serve up the festive treat.
Deepening our understanding in maths.
Today, the year ones focused on deepening their understanding of addition. We talked about what it actually means to add, explored the vocabulary around the concept and looked at the operations needed within an addition number sentence.
Nature shapes
We are currently exploring shape in Class one. The children were set a challenge to create 2D shapes using natural materials. It was great fun! Year one focused on the faces that made up a 3D shape.
We are building a lighthouse!
Class one will be creating their own lighthouse shortly. Today, we investigated how an old lighthouse would have turned the light using cogs. The children attempted to make a gigantic working mechanism. Year one explored circuits and learnt how to power a light bulb ready for our very own lighthouse!
Safety around the home.
Yesterday, we learnt about being safe at home. The children spotted hazards around the classroom and we discussed the importance of being safe. Mrs Whybrow
Road safety walk to the park.
The children went on a road safety walk to the park today. We used the crossing rules of Stop, Listen, Look, Think! We then had a great time playing in the park. Many thanks to the adults who assisted us on the trip today! Mrs Whybrow
