Dear Parents… Reading

class04 — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 15:05:20 +0000

In year 1 we read with your children in small groups twice a week. We will give out new books at the start of the week and then re-read the same text towards the end of the week when they have had the opportunity to do some home reading.

Each morning you are welcome to change your child’s book corner book using the family group folders, the same as they were in Reception.

Thank you.

Well done and goodbye!

From all year 1 staff.

We planted sunflower seeds and have taken good care of them. What did we need to give them to grow well?

We held a sale to sell the sunflowers and refreshments.

Harvesting Potatoes

class04 — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 15:01:23 +0000

This week we dug up our potatoes we had grown ourselves. We had quite a few different sized potatoes. We finely chopped them up and made them into crisps. They tasted a little different from normal crisps because they were much healthier!

Grass monsters!

The children designed their own grass monster on paper and then made this using a cup and several other types of materials. They filled it with soil, put grass seed on the top and then put it by the window. What do you think they had to give it to make it grow?
