Week Beginning 26.3.2018

So we have reached the end of yet another busy term.
This week we have written the story of 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' in our very own little book. After painting the front cover we sequenced the days of the week in the book and then wrote the story. Take a look:

Our lovely front covers.

Beautiful writing.

 

 

We mustn't forget about yoga. This was our last session and we explored the Tree Pose.

This pose is very good for us as it helps with posture, keeping focused and balance.

We found a spot and stood up straight, gently bringing one foot onto the other leg whilst pressing our palms in the middle of the chest.  

It proved tricky to begin with but after a few attempts we all got to keep our balance for a few seconds.

                                                            
                           Well done little yogis!

 

 

What an end to the week...

 

The grand opening of our new play equipment on the back field and a chance to use it-HOORAY!

 

 

 

An Easter Bonnet parade for the whole Key Stage, with AMAZING entries, well done everyone.  Our class winner was Lydia with Martha in the Runner Up position.

 

Then to a school tradition....Egg Rolling.

 

 

 

Lovely behaviour from everybody, although there were some tired legs when we returned to school.

 

 

Finally to finish, we made our own hot cross buns and baskets to put them in.  We were also lucky enough to fill them with chocolate eggs from the Friends of Wenhaston and a special egg from Angus who took them off his Easter Bonnet to share with the class - Thanks Angus!

 

Have a fantastic rest everyone, you all deserve it and we will look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks to start the Summer term.

 

 

 

Week Beginning 19.3.2018

 

We started this rather COOL  week with the story of  'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. Most children knew the story and contributed to it with their knowledge of butterflies, life cycles and healthy/unhealthy foods.

 

Children made caterpillars using play dough and plenty of creativity. 

 

 

 Some felt very inspired and drew lovely pictures of the caterpillar.

 

 

We are sure some of are wondering which new yoga pose we have learnt this week....?

Well we are please to inform you that we started the week with a 'You are Great!' pose. In lotus position children closed their eyes and thought of positive things to say about themselves. All children felt comfortable sharing out loud their thoughts and pampering their little ego...well done Class1!

Following the positive vibe of 'You are Great!' we then explored the Windmill pose which involved connecting our left side of the body to the right side. We drew an imaginary line that crossed the midline of our body and helped our left side reach the right side by touching the opposite foot to the hand.

 

 



We have ventured out into our new play area for the first time this week and are feeling very lucky to have such lovely things to play with.  We still have many finishing touches to add but could wait no longer to go and 'test out' what is out there.

Thursday was Sport Relief day in school and what a fantastic day it was... Thanks to everyone that baked and bought cakes for our cake sale which made nearly £70 for the worthy cause.

An even bigger thanks to Mr Knights for arranging a super PE session.  Keeping in with the Sport Relief billion step challenge, we tried to complete enough steps to climb the Eiffel tower in the time we had, we worked in teams so that if we were tired we could tag the next team member to take over.

We finished with an extra challenge; a water relay, using only spoons to fill the cups!  A fantastic effort from everyone well done.

 

Congratulations to Lydia who won the Cupcake category in our Bake Off competition with these football buns.

 

 

Have a super weekend everyone.

 

Remember if you are making a bonnet that they need to be in school by next Wednesday for judging ahead of Thursdays presentation.

 

Week beginning 12th March.

What another busy week, the children have been busy learning and writing poetry, learning how to apply their addition skills to solve money problems as well as doing their bit for the community by playing their part in the 'Big Spring clean up!'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Busy work but well done everyone and thank you to all of the parents that came to join us.

In maths we have been working out how many 10p's we need to make our larger 2 digit numbers...

 

Friday afternoon we had a little quiet time together in the book corner together after our big 'Friday tidy'.  Well done Thomas who read one of our Dr Zeus books to the whole class!

 

 

Finally we cannot forget to mention the further developments in the outdoor area....

The view from the window, as you can see it is looking rather fantastic!

 

Well done to Angus; our Golden Book winner this week for brilliant maths and being able to explain your answers so well.

 

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Week Beginning 5.3.2018







After a really snowy week it seems like Spring is finally on its way as the days become longer and warmer (slightly).

It was good to hear the children talk about their adventures in the snow, sledging down the hills in the Heath and building snowmen.

This week we had A LOT of catching up to do so we have worked incredibly hard.

We started by reading the story 'One Plastic Bag' by Miranda Paul. This is a true story about women in The Gambia finding creative eco ways to recycle plastic bags.

We acted out the story and each day wrote a different part in our books: the beginning, the middle and the ending.

 

 

As you know this weekend is a very important one as we celebrate Mother's Day. So we got busy and baked some special buns.... 

 

 

 

 

mixed it al together, baked, decorated them and........................

Beautiful cakes ready to be handed over to our special guests on Wednesday morning!

We have also managed to make a card for our lovely ladies, take a look:

 

 

 

 

We have joined the rest of the school in 'Grow Your Own Potatoes' competition and have planted the seeds in special bags. All we have to do now is wait and when the time will come harvest the crop.

You can find out more about this competition online. Search online 'Grow your Own Potatoes' and follow the link.

In Maths we have collected information in a tally chart and created a pictogram showing what type of litter we found around our school. 

Crisps wrappers were the most popular rubbish whilst glass was the least popular.  

 

Continuing with our eco theme, thank you to everyone who has donated 'plastic rubbish' for our art afternoon this week.  With a little help Mrs Webb and Miss Welby managed to sort it into the right boxes for the different teachers...

 

''I'll take the lids to Mrs Jenkins, you take the yogurt pots to Mr Balls.'

 

 

 

We had a lovely time Friday afternoon using them to create all sorts of wonderful things.

 

 

We have also completed a lovely writing activity, retelling the story of One Plastic bag and leant to count from 1-5 in Wolof, just as Isatou (from our book who may do this, when she is crocheting her bags.)

 

 

We have also enjoyed some interactive games learning how to recycle all of the different kinds of rubbish.

 

'I think the newspaper goes in the paper bin'.

 

Finally, HUGE excitement this week as work as started in our outdoor area, watch this space.

 

Don't forget...Mother's Day messages are in the Beccles and Bungay this week.

 

Have a lovely weekend everyone.
