Pirates

This week we have been making props to help us get into role as pirates. We even made our own pirate ship to sail the Seven Seas! No pirate costume is complete without a pirate hat. We followed some instructions and made our own origami hats. Some of the folds were quite complicated but we persevered and were all very proud of our finished creations.

PE Striking and Fielding

Date: 12th May 2021 @ 9:48pm

One of our current PE units is called Striking and Fielding. We have been developing our basic understanding of striking and fielding games such as Rounders and Cricket. We are learning skills including throwing and catching, stopping a rolling ball, retrieving a ball and striking a ball. We've had opportunities to play one against one, one against two, and one against three, learning how to score points and how to to use simple tactics. We are beginning to understand the rules of the games and use these to play fairly.

Reading opportunities

Date: 12th May 2021 @ 9:15pm

We LOVE reading in 1C! We have a daily story time session with our teacher and we are currently reading James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dhal.

We have lots of opportunities for reading, both alone and with our friends. We can go into the reading area to read a genre of our choice, we have silent reading sessions where we can sit and read quietly to ourselves (indoors and outdoors), We have guided reading groups, shared partner reading and sometimes we can even read to our whole class!

Handa

Date: 12th May 2021 @ 7:48pm

  

This week Nursery have been reading the story Handa's surprise by Eileen Browne. We have talked about the animals in the story and other animals that live in Africa. We have used books, the internet and a world globe to find the answers to some of our questions.
 We have danced to African music and the children were challenged to carry baskets containing fruit on their heads, just like Handa in the story. 
The children have looked closely at the fruit in the story ,discussing their likes and dislikes.
 In our creative area we have talked about the patterns, textures and colours of fruit and have been learning to shade using coloured pastels.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Date: 6th May 2021 @ 7:15pm

This week we have been reading the book

Geography - At the seaside

Date: 6th May 2021 @ 2:18pm

We have been using our Geographical Skills to find out about and locate the seven continents on Earth. We have been working collaboratively by using maps and globes to find the different countries and which continents they are in. 

We have also been studying Human and Physical Geography, focussing on the landscape and environment of the seaside – in particular – Wembury beach. Children have expressed why Wembury beach is such a popular place to visit and explored some of the habitats that can be found there. We have focused mainly on rock pools and the creatures that reside in them, this enabled us to explore adaptations, camouflage and nutrition. This knowledge enabled us to create a rockpool food cahin. We engaged in some simple fieldwork and observational skills to explore how seaside animals and plants might be harmed by pollution and how we could prevent this by abiding by the ‘Seashore Code’.

PSHE People who help keep us safe

Date: 6th May 2021 @ 1:49pm

YEAR 1 PSHE

As part of our ‘How to stay safe’ unit, we have been learning all about what we should do in an emergency. The children have been finding out about our emergency response services and how and when to call them. We were so excited for our planned visit from Birkenhead Fire Brigade, so in order for us to find out more about what they do, we generated lots of questions such as “How long does it take to put a fire out?” “What is the biggest fire that you have ever been to?” and “Do you only go to fires?”. We found out lots of interested facts about the different types of emergencies that they attendand the equipment that they use for each emergency.  We even listened to the siren!!! “It was so, so loud” said Louis. Do you know that a firefighter can get his whole attire on within 38 seconds??? We counted!
