Year 1 in Action November 2

 






Fine Motor Skills

To help strengthen children's fine motor skills we have introduced them to different skills and sensory textures to help them develop their skills for writing. Here the children are enjoying hard and slippery slime to pour and mould. 




Apricot class love getting creative with cling film and paint. They enjoyed painting on the cling film and being able to see through the work they had created. 





Walnut class have been enjoying working on their fine motor skills too.




Beech Class

We have been super busy this month in the continuous provision. We have been completing writing tasks, problem solving in the construction area, role play and continuing our fine motor skill work. 








Across Year 1 the children have been super busy during their self- led learning time. We’ve seen fantastic imaginative play both inside and outside the classroom. The children have been creating their own stories and acting them out. We’ve had Elsa and Anna busy  in the home corner , a puppet show, new ‘teachers’ to the class teaching RWI and a foreign holiday aboard an airplane.

It’s the time of year when we start looking forward to our Christmas celebrations and concerts. We warmly invite parents & carers to come and join us on these occasions. 

Therefore, to be able to accommodate everyone safely and fairly this year, every child has been allotted two tickets for their concert. We ask that you bring these tickets along with you on the day and our school prefects will be ready to collect them on the door. 

Please return the concert slips by Tuesday 30th November. You will receive your tickets on Friday 2nd December. Letters will be sent out on Friday 25th November.

The concert will take place in the Charlton Hall (Year 1 Building). You can access this hall through the gates on Faringdon Avenue (where the KS1 and KS2 children enter in the mornings). 

We look forward to welcoming you on the day and sharing this wonderful time of year with you all. 

Yours sincerely,

The Year One Team

22.11.2022- 1666 Day in Year 2!

 1666 Day in Year 2!


This half term we have been learning about the Great fire of London and the period in which it happened. Today, the children have dressed up in clothes reflecting the life of 1666. They have taken part in different activities such as making and baking bread, completed word searches and created The Great Fire of London pictures. 



“The bread is so soft. I enjoyed kneading the bread.” - Cruz, Pine.


“People in 1666 had a lot of fun baking.”- Oliver, Rowan.


“The fire spread quickly because houses were made out of wood.” - Amira, Mulberry.


“People must have felt quite scared during the fire.”-Ryan, Pine.


“I enjoyed making pictures from the Great Fire of London.”- Bella, Mulberry.


“We had a really fun day today.”- Amaira, Rowan. 




Well done Yr 2. What wonderful learning!
