What was childhood like for our parents and grandparents?
We welcomed a special guest into our class today to talk to us about their life as a child- our wonderful governor, Mrs Billingham. Thank you so much for helping to bring our history topic to life. The children asked thoughtful questions and gathered their answers. Quote of the afternoon, “I could…
Sometimes you just have to dance in phonics!
Year 1 love an alien word Thursday disco! The rules are you have to show the alien words your best dance moves, zap their sound buttons then blend to read their words. So much fun and learning too!
Exploring printing with primary colours
Today we explored lego printing using primary colours. We explored making patterns and overlapping colours to colour mix.
Wanted!
We were met with a break in on Monday. Someone with muddy feet, blond hair and who is clearly a huge fan of porridge has been in our classroom. She may have had three accomplices….one large, one medium and one small. Any thoughts?

Place value power!
Year 1 have worked very hard mastering place value within 10 this week. They have played quick counting games against partners, represented numbers, investigated number lines and looked at 1 more than. Great work year 1.

Class 2 have begun their first English unit studying traditional tales. To start with they passed clues around the circle making predictions about which story it could be and explaining their reasons. After working out that it was Little Red Riding Hood, the children have read the story and…
Our class is a family!
What a wonderful first week together we have had! The children spent time getting to know each other, building fabulous new friendships and finding out about each other. They then had fun imagining what they didn’t do on holiday- nobody swam with sharks or flew a rocket to space. To finish we…
