This morning the children in year 1 have been working super hard. They had to write a story about Nibbles, the naughty book monster! They worked so hard to make sure their writing had capital letters, full stops, conjunctions, exclamation marks and even question marks! Here are some of the very proud children in Y1K showing off their work. Mrs Ratcliffe even visited the class to read some of the amazing work! She was totally blown away. Keep up the hard work year 1!
In Science Year 1 have been learning about the seasons.
Today we walked to our local park to look for the signs of Spring.
We saw daffodils, blossom, birds and their nests and buds.
World Book Day 2023
We have loved to see the children in their wonderful outfits, celebrating their favourite books and authors for World Book Day. All of the children have completed a range of book related activities in school.
Ella in Year 6 said she enjoys World Book Day. “I love reading and it’s fun to be the characters you love for the day”.
Sadie in Year 4 said she enjoys World Book Day because she loves reading and it’s a day all about celebrating reading.
This month the staff were looking out for children who have made great progress in their reading but also who work well with others.
In Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 the children take part in partner work when reading stories. They help friends read tricky words and have shown themselves to be great team players.
In years 3, 4, 5 and 6 staff were really pleased to see how the children can support each other with reading and celebrate others achievements. They have made AMAZING progress too!
A special mention to Tyler in Y4 who has made 18months progress in his AR reading age in the last half term and to Maxwell In Y6 who has made 2 years and 4 months progress!
What an achievement!
We are so proud of you all and love to see so many of you enjoying reading. We hope you enjoy your prizes.
Next Month teachers will be keeping a close eye on the children who use Accelerated Reader, to see how well they perform in quizes and improve their reading. Staff will choose a Reader of the Month who shows a great commitment and attitude to their reading, using AR and when sharing books.
This half term Year 1 have have been learning about Toys and the materials they are made from. We looked at our modern toys and some old toys.
On Thursday we had a visit from Technology Tom, he shared some toys with us. We sorted toys into plastic, metal, glass, fabric and wood.
As part of our day we made a cup and ball from a plastic milk carton, string and tape. It was great fun!
We also made a modern take on a Victorian penny toy. We sanded, added a wheel, a baring and stoppers. Then created an image to add.

On Wednesday Steph from Animal Antics came in to help us with our Science topic. We talked about reptiles, birds, mammals, amphibians, fish and insects.
The children in Y1K look great today. We enjoyed our special Pudsey Bear biscuit and talked about what Children in Need is and why we try our best to help.
