Year 1 Blog-Thursday 6th April

Date: 6th Apr 2023 @ 5:29pm

Welcome to your final Friday blog of the Spring term. We had a great Easter assembly with some lucky children winning an Easter egg in the raffle.

English

This week we read our Scaredy Squirrel books to the children in Year 3 and Reception. Everyone loved our stories and we got some really good feedback.

We had a few days learning from a story called The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle. The seed has a journey starting in Autumn and ending up in Summer as an enormous flower.

We learnt about life cycles. We also wrote instructions to tell someone how to plant a seed.

Phonics

Some of us have been learning about al as in walk, talk, chalk and some of us have been learning more tricky words.

Maths

We have been doing lots of assessments this week.

R.E.

We learned more about the Easter story. We went to church on Tuesday to watch Year 6 perform their Easter presentation. We loved joining in with the singing and the prayers.

P.E.

We practised our fundamental skills outside.

Art

We all made an Easter card by collaging an egg shape.

French

We listened to La legende des Cloches de Paques - the story of the Easter Bells. In France, they say that the bells fall silent at Easter because they have gone to Rome to be blessed. They return on Easter Sunday, dropping chocolate eggs in gardens for children to find.  We practised some vocabulary related to Easter with a hunt the word game. 

Outdoor Learning

We have all made our hedgehog now using hammers and screwdrivers.

We did some more planting- carrots and foxgloves.

We went in the nature area and found new types of flowers growing, snails,woodlice, spiders ,ants and worms.

We wish you all a happy, holy and peaceful Easter.
