Rulebreakers!

Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 1 Class Blog

We've had a very exciting day of broken rules today! During the register, several children said it was 'the best day ever!' - maybe we should have dyed hair and toy cars and teddies in school every day!! We have done some super learning though as well, from writing a polar bear factfile and counting money (for which Year 1 won the whole class Well Done award - watch out financial world!!) to writing algorithms for a sprite and of course, the moment of the week, the Year 1 Collective Worship! The children did an amazing job teaching everyone about justice, speaking so clearly and being so brave in front of so many people! What a great week!

Healthy Children!

We've had such a healthy week for our ASJ Healthy Living Week! The children have written instructions for and made fruit smoothies, had a dance-a-thon with Year 2, done some lovely, calming yoga with fairy lights and learnt about healthy food choices and considered how to minimise food waste! They have a tracker to fill in at home next week with lots of information about their healthy choices too! Have a lovely weekend and a Happy Fathers' Day, Dads!

Moving Ourselves and Moving Sprites!

Today has been all about movement! We started the day Moving a Mile to raise money for the NSPCC, moving constantly for 10 minutes whatever way we decided! There were some very creative ways chosen! Don't forget to donate on Parent Pay if you can! Then this afternoon, we had the iPads out to use Scratch Jr. as part of our new computing topic on programming and enjoyed learning how to move a character called a sprite around. He was a very dizzy sprite on some people's iPads!

End of Half Term!

What a busy end to a busy half term! We haven't stopped this week! Here is a selection of photos from our diorama creating (please look out for pictures of the finished articles in a newsletter very soon! They are AMAZING!) and our computing lesson about sorting objects by colour, shape and size. The children may also have brought home a piece of writing they are proud of tonight, a shape poem about a hot air balloon or a car ride.

We wish you all a very happy half term holiday and look forward to seeing you all again on the 3rd June!

Bodies!

Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 1 Class Blog

This week in science, we have been learning about the organs in our bodies. We had some willing volunteers be drawn around then located the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs and brain. We learnt what they were for too - can you remember what 'oxygen' is and how we get rid of the things our bodies don't want?!
