The children will be ordering the stories, writing character descriptions, using speech bubbles and lots more.

We will also be making our own potions , lets hope nobody turns into a frog!!!!


Look what came to visit today..........

Today has been a fantastic day in Year 1. We have had Animals Intuition (Andrew) come into our class with lots of different rainforest animals. The children could touch and hold the animals and we have leanrt lots of interesting information about snakes, tree frogs, lizards and many more. We have also learnt about the different layers of the rainforest and what animals can be found in the different layers. The children asked lots of super questions and I am very proud of how sensible they were and how engaged they were thoughout the morning. Brilliant job Year 1.

Our Fantastic Fairground Day in Year 1

Today has been a brilliant day in Year 1. We have had our very own fairground, full of fun, games and lots of yummy food. The children have played Hook a duck, Hoopla, Tin Can Alley and the Coconut Shy. They have been on balancing beams and have been performing using stilts and pom poms.

They have tried pop corn and candy floss and even made their own chocolate apples.

It has been an amazing day and the children have had a fantastic time!


Circus Creations

During our Design and Technology session this week, we have made 3D circus settings and characters. The children had to colour, cut and fold their paper to create their amazing circus settings. Well done Year 1!


Fairground Posters

This week we have been making fairground posters. The children had to include features such as price, time and venue. We have displayed these in our classroom. Come and have a look!


Welcome to the Fair.

This half term our topic is The Fairground. During our English sessions the children will be making information booklets, posters, tickets and learning about nouns, adjectives and verbs. In maths we will be focusing on time, position and direction. We will also be making our own moveable fairground rides. We are really looking forward to this half term and having lots of fun while we learn.


Science Week

During science week we visited a planetarium. It was amazing seeing the planets and the stars in our solar system. The children asked lots of questions about the solar system and we wrote a recount about our experience.
