In History we have been learning about Mary Anning. 

She was born in 1799 and lived in Dorset. 

She was famous for finding fossils of prehistoric animals. 

We have been making our own fossils at school using shells and clay. 

Have a look at some of the work we have been doing.

If you want to find out more about Mary Anning then you can watch a video on this website.

Today we have been learning to recognise coins.  We found lots of coins hidden around our classroom and we recorded them on our sheet.  We are beginning to look at adding together coins and it would be really helpful if you could practice with your children at home.

 

 

R.E.D.T.E.D

A huge congratulations to the first group of children who have achieved their bear from our R.E.D.T.E.D reading scheme.

All these children have read at least 3 times a week and their grown ups have written in their home school diary.  They are now working towards a scarf for their bear.

Reading is extremely important to extend all of the children so please continue to encourage your children at home.

 

 

Wow year one!  What a busy end to a super term!  You have all worked really hard and Mrs Mee and Miss Atwal are impressed by your improving attitudes to learning.

In Maths we have learnt all about ...
adding, subtraction, number bonds to 10, measures, 2D and 2D shapes, time and many other things.

In English we have learnt about ...
sentence structure, poetry, letter writing, changing a familiar story, talking about our favourite story parts and all sorts of other things!

We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year and we look forward to seeing you all feeling refreshed and ready to learn in January!

Finally, a big well done to all the children who achieved their bronze medal in assembly today!  Those children have come to school every day since September.  Remember it is crucial that all the children come to school on time, every day to maximise their learning potential. 

We are really proud to tell you that EVERY child in year one went on Commando Joe's inflatable today.  This is because the children have been trying so hard with their behaviour.  No-one has been on red more than once in the month of November.

We hope this continues for the rest of the academic year!

Have a look at the fun we had!

 

 

KS1 Production Costume

 

Your child is in the choir in the KS1 performance 'In a Stable'.

 

We would be really grateful if you could provide black trousers and a white t-shirt.  Costumes will be required in school on Friday 4th December.  If you have any trouble sourcing these items please let us know sooner rather than later.  Please bring items in a labeled bag.  Many thanks for your ongoing support.

'Be A Hero'

 

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated to our Children in Need campaign.  It was wonderful to see the children dressed up as different heroes.  Have a look at some of our photos below!
