The Daily Run
We have thoroughly enjoyed completing the run at least three times a week this term (weather dependent). We are beginning to run for over 10 minutes!
Our Senses - Smell
We have been exploring our sense of smell. We conducted a science experiment. We had to smell six different pots and decide what we could smell. Some of the smells included: onion, toothpaste, lavender and vinegar.
We had lots of fun! We loved some of the smells and strongly disliked some of the others!

The Smartest Giant in Town
WOW! We had a giant surprise on Friday. We received a letter and a book from George. The giant left his giant shoe and his stripy tie. We were very excited! We made George a card to say thank you. This week we will be reading The Gruffalo. We will complete lots of activities based on the Gruffalo.
Remember to read every night and please record your reading in your reading record.

Amazing Authors!
We have begun our new topic in Year 1! We have been exploring the wonderful work of Julia Donaldson this week. We read 'The Smartest Giant in Town'. We all joined in with the song. Have a listen to the story at home -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfiPrA8E3qEGeorge the Giant went missing on Monday and we helped the police by writing some excellent descriptions of George. We then created our own giants and used amazing adjectives to describe them. We used lots of materials and resources to create our giants.
Today we received a special gift from George. He left us a message which said 'Thank you for helping me'. He had delivered us lots of new books! We are very excited to read them soon!
We will continue our work with George this week. Tomorrow we are going to write a letter for the giant.
Well done Year 1!
Please remember to read every night and record it in your home school diaries. Hopefully we can get those 5 class dojos!

WOW! We have had a wet but fantastic week in Year 1!
We have been researching endangered animals. We have created booklets to raise awareness of endangered animals and ways in which we can protect them. We used the WWF website to learn some interesting facts about the precious animals. We all did AMAZING work and Miss Phillips is so proud of us!
Playdough Disco Gym -
We have been using our individual pots of playdough to develop our fine motor skills before our handwriting sessions this week. We also used our playdough to create our names.

Here is our Year 1 version of 'What A Wonderful World' by Louis Armstong. We hope you enjoy reading it.
What A Wonderful World - By Year 1
Skies are blue
Trees are green
I see bees buzzing
Around you and me
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Giraffes are tall
Cheetahs are fast
Meerkats are funny
And rabbits hop past
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
People are helpful
In many ways
Adults are older and help us all day
Children grow fast and are happy everyday
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see children in the park
Playing with their toys
The sun shining on them
With complete joy
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world

A Guide to Earth by Year 1
We have spent the last week exploring Earth. We have worked together to create a guide. Our guide is excellent and we hope everyone enjoys the read. We have written about things you can see and do on Earth. Also, we have drawn and labelled some animals you will encounter during your time on Earth. We hope you enjoy our wonderful world and remember to look after it.
We have also learnt and re-written the famous song ‘What a Wonderful World’ by Louis Armstrong. We recorded our version and will share it with Year 2 next week.
Please watch this video and appreciate our wonderful world.

Welcome back Year 1!
WOW - I am so proud of you all. Everyone has settled and is beginning to become a confident member of the Year 1 team.
We have been exploring our classroom over the past few days and we have thoroughly enjoyed updating our garden area.
We have also been discussing our emotions and have created a face using arts & crafts to reflect our feelings about school.
'Here We Are' - our new class book has been super exciting this week and we are beginning to create a guide to Earth. Our guide will be for the aliens who are arriving on Earth next week. We are very excited to share our guide with them.
