Welcome to Year 1 with Mrs Stead and Miss Draper.
Do you dare step inside our classroom...our spooky, imaginative classroom full of fantastic creatures and mystical happenings? Our topic at the moment is Fantasy Lands, and we are all very excitied about all our work.
We've been making props to go in our Fantasy Land role play area. We are making a Fantasy Lands book, and Lewis and Freya won a mini competition today to design the cover of the book.
Our forthcoming assembly (on the 21st May) will be all about this topic, and we are busy learning the song "Puff the Magic Dragon" to sing for you. It makes me (Mrs Stead) go all funny when the children sing it, because I remember it from Primary School, and loved it! If you want to practise at home, or sing for your family, you can use the backing track online by clicking this link: www.cartooncritters.com/musicforkids.htm The words are online too.
Well done Leilani for being Start Of The Week. I wonder who it will be this week?
If you have any queries or concerns, please feel free to see us after school, and if you need a little more time, we can arrange a mutually convenient time to talk.
I am sure we will all have a super year together, learning lots, having fun, and developing lots of skills! Please check this page regularly for updates, news and ideas.
Warm wishes,
Mrs Stead and Miss Draper.
We have made a 'what we have been learning about' table to give you some ideas on current learning from the classroom that you can discuss at home.
| Topic |
What to discuss / try at home |
| Literacy- Fantasy Stories |
Share some imaginary stories at home. Can your child make one up for you at bedtime? The more imaginative the better! |
| Numeracy- Position and Direction |
Discuss where you are going in the car. Talk about North, South, East and West. Use positional language when talking about where things are around the house.
|
| Science - Pushes and Pulls |
Can you m,ake something that you can push or pull? Bring it in for Show And Tell. |
