Year 1 - Week 1 09.09.22

 

Welcome to Year 1

The children have had a brilliant start to their learning journey in Year 1. We are so impressed with how quickly they have settled into their new routines and classes. This week the children have been showing us how amazing they are with their writing and number work. They have enjoyed exploring their new indoor and outdoor environments

Role Play Clothes

Children in Years 1 and 2 are active learners in Broadford. Role play is an important part of the learning experience as the children. Through role play they have opportunities to problem set and solve, work in collaboration, use their imagination, use rich language... The possibilies are endless! Often simple materials such as sheets and colourful fabric provide the children with a great open ended starting point for children to act in role and create their own stories. If you have any old clothes/sheets/ accessories that are no longer wanted we will happily add them to our dress up box! 

Mulberry's Fish and Chip Shop!

Today was the grand opening of the chip shop role play in Mulberry classroom.

The children were busy this afternoon serving customers, writing down orders, cooking food and calculating change. Some of the children almost forgot that the chips weren't real and nearly ate the foam chips!

Role Play Hairdressers

The children had shown an interest in 'hairdresser' role play so the role play corner in Pine has now transformed into a hairdressers shop. There have been lots of learning opportunities as the children have been busy writing down appointment times, checking which day of the week it is, looking after their customers and paying for their hair cuts.
Olivia told us all about how she had seen her mum work in hairdressing and reminded everyone that it was important to look after the customers well. The customers were soon provided with books to read whilst waiting and served frequent drinks during their visit. They have used the timers to ensure hair is left drying for the correct time and have used mirrors so the clients can check they are happy with their new styles. The role play corner has been popular with boys and girls but during the last week some of the boys pointed out that they really needed a barbers, we will look into developing this after half term!
