Year one have had a fabulous first week back filled with lots of fun learning opportunities.
In Literacy this week the children were writing a recount about what they did during half term. The wriiting focus was to write in past tense, use capital letters, full stops and capital letters in the correct places.
In Maths this week the children were introduced to the part whole model which is used to partition numbers. This half term the Maths focus is addition and subtraction within 10.

This week Beech class had their first fun-filled week at Forest School.
Firstly, we had so many children who remembered to bring their welly boots to school. This made getting ready for Forest School very quick so we could have a nice long session outside.
Thank you to all the parents/carers who have so far bought in waterproof for their child. If you haven’t done so yet, please remember them for next week’s session, as we will be going outside even if it’s raining.
Once outside the children decided on their Forest School name by choosing either an animal that started with the same sound as their name or their favourite animal (my Forest School name is Kate Kestrel.) They then all decided on an action to go with their name and we all copied their action. The children then designed their own Forest School badge with their new name. They will then wear these badges every week for Forest School.
The children learn a few new games which helped them understand the boundaries of the Forest School area. These games were ‘Foxes and Rabbits’ and ‘123 where are you?’
There was also time for the children to explore the Forest School area. They were given a challenge to find natural things that weren’t green or brown. Many of them rose to the challenge finding yellow fieldcap mushrooms, white fungi in a stick, grey feathers, and red berries.
