Year 1 in Action December 2

 

Play dough Fun 

Christmas Yoga

We have been super busy this week in Beech class, completing our crafts and also learning through play in the classroom. The children loved exploring the snow inside in the warm and completing jigsaw puzzles too!

Year 1 - What we have been learning

 

Another busy week in Year 1 ( even though it was only 3 days) which has been full of learning and Christmas activities. The children have completed Read write inc and math assessments this week and worked tremendously hard to complete these. 

Maths

After our snow storm, the children were excited to be back and learn about shape at school. The children have been recalling the names and properties of 2D and 3D shapes. They also completed Math assessments which all the children tried really hard with. 

Christmas Crafts

This week, we have been getting super excited about Christmas. The children have been working hard on different crafts as well as leading their own learning in the continuous provision. 

Winter Reading Festival

The children took part in this year's Winter Reading Festival at school. The children enjoyed being read to by their friends from KS2. 

Christmas Dinner

The lovely Year 1 children had a traditional Christmas Dinner today and they thoroughly enjoyed the scrumptious meals. They were full of smiles as they tucked into delicious dinners!

16.12.2022 - Wonderful Learning in Year 2

 

It was a short week but still it was a wonderful week full of great learning and fun. Here are some of the highlights of our week! 

Literacy & RE

In Literacy this week, the children have written a letter to Santa. They have explained to Santa how they have been good this year by including appropriate reasons. The children have also included a wish list for Christmas in their letters. Along with this, in RE, the children have learnt about the Christmas story, The Nativity. They completed a story map and re-told the story of the Nativity. 

Here are a few examples of the sentences that some of the children in yr 2 have written. 

“I have been a wonderful boy this year because I have been kind and helpful to others.” - Ryan, Pine. 

“I have been a polite girl this year because I have helped others in and outside of the classroom.”- Chloe, Rowan. 

“I have been a good boy because I helped my mum put up the Christmas tree.”- Joseph, Mulberry. 

Construction

During our choice activities, some children explored the construction area and created some imaginative, creative buildings. It was really fascinating to see children's minds grow as they explored how to make strong, tall or functional buildings.

Well Done Everyone!
