The Year 1 children have been working hard at home and keeping busy with some brilliant, creative activities. It’s wonderful to see the children’s happy faces and all of the fun they have been having!

Our daily challenge was to draw and colour a picture of a happy memory. They have chosen some fantastic memories to share.
We have loved seeing how the children have celebrated VE Day on Friday and made the most of the celebration whilst staying safe. We hope you all had a fantastic day.

Our daily challenge was to throw a ball in the air and see how many claps you can do before catching it again. We managed up to 12 claps! How many can you do?

Friday the 8th of May is the 75th Anniversary of the end of World War 2 in Europe.
To celebrate, the staff wanted to send a message to both celebrate this event and send a message to the children in the current situation, set to the classic song “We’ll Meet Again” by Vera Lynn.
So sit back, and enjoy!
For the daily challenge, the children were given the chance to get dressed in their favourite outfits and pretend to be on a catwalk. It looks like they had lots of fun!

We are all living through history, right now. Yesterday’s challenge was to make a time capsule to capture this moment and make something that will remind the children of this strange time.

As yesterday was “Star Wars Day” (May the Fourth be with you), our daily challenge was to do something Star Wars related. We had some fantastic ideas and photos!

To keep our spirits high and our bodies moving….here is a 30 day music challenge for everyone.
Try and find a song that matches the description for each day and dance along to it.
This is just for fun (no need to write them down) and don’t worry if you can’t find a song for every day.
Enjoy!
(This is originally an American challenge, so the words ‘colour’ and ‘favourite’ are spelled differently)
