A nativity with a twist...

This week, on Monday afternoon and Tuesday evening, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are putting on their Christmas performance, 'Jesus' Christmas Party'.

It is a funny story told from the Innkeeper's point of view. All the children have an active role in the production making it a magical experience for all relatives coming to watch.

Those of you who come to watch, we hope you really enjoy it...I'm sure you will (Bring tissues).

:)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all children and staff in Year 1.

HE'S BEHIND YOU!!

Year 1 have something extra exciting to look forward to this week!

On Friday we are going to see Snow White at the Lyceum Theatre in Crewe. (For more information on this production visit...

Year 1 have been studying Fairy Tales in Literacy lessons over the past few weeks and this will be the perfect way to end a fabulous unit of work!

Reception and Year 2 will also be joining us so it really will be a fabulous day out for all of us!

I'd also like to thank all the family and friends who came to the fair on Saturday, it was lovely to see so many of you there. 

Have a super week...

Our Wonderful Weaving

Well done Year 1 :)

I'd like to start this week's post by saying a big WELL DONE to all of Year 1 for producing some super poetry this week. You were all so proud of your own work and each other's that you performed them to the class. I was so proud that we went to Year 2 to read our poems to them, they all said "Wow!" :) I will put some examples for you to look at this week so check back soon.


This week, on Friday it is Children in Need. For further information about this fantastic national event click this link....

Hope you have a fantastic week, check back for examples of our poetry and to see what we are up to next week :)

And the run up to Christmas (secretly) begins :)

Week 2 of our second half term this year and all is going well as usual.
I would like to say a big congratulations to the Evans family for the birth of their new baby girl, was lovely to meet her last week!

Green day was a massive hit in school...kicked off firstly by the walking bus which definately got us all in the green spirit for the rest of the day. Well done and thank you to all who took part in all areas of the day.

This week year 1 are yet again busy working hard and having fun mostly continuing with what we started last week but with the addition of a few things. We begin our Design and Technology topic- Moving pictures, in which we will eventually learn to make a lever and a wheel mechanism to create our own moving pictures or puppets focused around Fairy Tales.

Also this week, but shhh, don't mention the C or X word, we begin learning our songs for the production in December. So yes, if your little one comes home singing away in a manger when we are only in the 2nd week of November, it is our fault, solely. :)

All in good spirit though, this year's production will be fantastic and rather funny might I add.

And that's quite enough of that topic for the time being hehe!

Check back this time next week to see what we've been up to and what is coming up...

Welcome back! :)

Welcome back everyone, I hope you all had a lovely half term!

We have an exciting week lined up this week with a Halloween and firework theme going on. Halloween disco is on Wednesday night, what a fantastic night that will be for us all. Also it's Green Day on Friday so don't forget to keep your eyes peeled around school to see what exciting things will be going on! DON'T FORGET!!....On Friday as part of Green Day there is a walking bus...refer to the letter for details of stops :) Can't wait!

In Year 1 this week we will be doing dance in P.E as Fireworks, beginning our poetry unit (working towards writing a firework poem), creating a variety of art work based on fireworks, learning how to use money and beginning to experiment with forces (pushes and pulls).

Another fun-packed week of learning for Year 1 :)

LOoking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

Happy Half Term!!

Well what a fantastic end to our first half term in Year 1. Firstly we did star writing... Imagining and drawing our 'most strange and terrifyingly tricky creatures' then writing a description of them.

The writing is some of the best I have ever seen the children do and I am so very proud of them! Well done guys!

In the afternoon we decorated our horse 'Supersonic' with a collage of our very own faces. We also planted tulip and daffodil bulbs and japanese onions in our allotment. The children really loved getting their hands dirty in the mud. :)

Have a lovely half term all, and looking forward to the next half term's festivities!

:-D

The Year 1 Allotment!!!

On Friday Year 1 are going to begin planting in the Year 1 allotment. After asking the children what they would like to grow we decided to get Daffodils, Tulips and some onions to plant ready for spring.

Each child in Year 1 will contribute to planting in the allotment and hopefully it will look fabulous in full bloom next year!

We will also have a bird table and we have got lots of seeds and other bird food to keep our feathered friends well fed through the winter.

The children are all very excited :)

YEAR 1

Year  1 is a funny bunch.  Mr Bump was one of the best costumes.  The Dalmation is a fun costume. 

Harry Potter's costume was magical.  Robin Hood's costume was amazing.  They all looked brilliant.

Book Fair Week!!

Looking forward to the arrival of the book fair next week. I wonder what Year 1 will put in their wish list??

We are also very excited for the dress up day to see what characters the children have come in as!

Oh and don't forget about the teachers...Who will they come as?

Wait and see...

:)

Media arts fest!

What a fantastic day delivered by the diploma students at the County High School, Leftwich. Well done to all of you! I know that Year 1 had a brilliant time!

We particularly liked the collage, dance and green screen :)

Can't wait for the assembly next week!!

Roll up! Roll up!

On Thursday the Diploma students from The County High School, Leftwich are coming to run a media arts festival at our school. We will get to do a wide variety of activities including collage, mask making and many more!

It's non-uniform day and should be a fantastic event which we will all really enjoy!

Can't wait!

Almost at the end of the first half term...

Year 1 have had an exciting start to their first term in Year 1. We have been busy investigating materials, developing our writing, reading and maths skills, learning about homes past and present and experimenting with weaving.

On Friday (07.10.11)Year 1 visited the Weaver Hall museum where we made butter, washed clothes and got ready for bed using items from a long time ago. It was really hard work! We all had lots of fun though :)

Today we made a cardboard loom for weaving and set up our warp threads ready for creating a beautiful weaving next week. So watch this space for images to come.

In literacy we are reading the 'Charlie and Lola' stories, using drama to explore the characters so that we can write super descriptions about them. We all find Lola very funny (and a bit naughty!

Keep checking back to see what else we have been up to...
