Rabbits

In class we have been reading Dinosaurs Love Underpants!

To help us retell the story, we have been learning this text map: Do you think you could retell the story at home?

In Year 1 we have had a very exciting start to the year! First we followed some mysterious footprints and found an egg. We used clues to help us find out what it was…a DINOSAUR! After this we had another WOW moment in our topic, we were very lucky to be visited by a paleontologist. He brought in different dinosaur models including a T-Rex, a pterodactyl and a brachiosaurus. We also got to look at different fossils and held a real fossilised dinosaur egg!

What was your favourite part of the day?

Samba drumming

Look at how hard we were concentrating on getting our samba rhythms just right!

We have already learnt such a lot about Brazil and Rio de Janeiro.

Can you remember the names of the instruments we used?

How many names of plants and trees that grow in our school grounds can you remember?

Another small example of all your lovely homework.

Well done everyone, you have worked very hard.

Thankyou.

What is the most interesting thing you learnt about the place you chose?

The wind blew at just the right moment for us to test our kites.

How well did your kite fly?

Atomic Science taught us all about solids, liquids and gases. We did a drama on the playground to show how the atoms work together, then we had loads of fun making slime using some simple chemicals.

“It was exciting”    Amelia

“It was great learning about atoms.” Logan

“It was brilliant, the slime looked absolutely gross!”  Alice

“It was fun but you had to be sensible because the stuff we had was chemicals” Isla

Having fun with fractions!

Can you remember the important rules about quarters?

Today Reverend Simon came to help us think about families and the Christian values they help us learn.

Our congratulations go to the happy couple on the event of their wedding, Ellie and Reuben!

Many thanks to the bridesmaids Shanice, Jemima and Millie, the best man Leyton, and to Dad Logan for giving Ellie away.

(Don’t worry – it was all just for fun!)

Can you remember some of the values we talked about?

We all had a lot of fun dressing up on World Book Day.

I think everyone looked fantastic. What do you think?
