Apologies for any confusion caused about the Easter activities. To clarify, Year 1 will be taking part in the Easter Egg Challenge only and will not be participating in the Easter Bonnet Parade. Thank you for your understanding. WCM.
If there are any children who would like to make an Easter bonnet and share it with the class, they are obviously more than welcome and these will also be celebrated on the blog.
We gave postcards to Aadam for Solving problems, Summer for being positive and Halima for value being special.
Our PE star was Ahmed.
Some fantastic home learnings before half term and this week.
Jaxson, Wren (and his big brother Luther), Mehki and Areen have made some fantastic models!
Eric has done some measuring as well.
This week we are sending home some sheets to support phonics learning. If you scan the QR codes they will take you to a video to practice the focus sounds. I have attached the sheet that will be going home tomorrow. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
Yesterday both classes went up to the top yard and pick up sticks for our latest gold coin reward.
We are so impressed with the way the children have come back to school after the half term, showing a really positive attitude to learning. They have settled in well into their new Read, Write, Inc. groups and are working really hard at their phonics. We are also seeing good talk partner work and some very creative minds during out new Design and Technology unit!
Keep it up year 1!
It was lovely to see some parents in class this morning. Please see the dates for the rest of this half term.
Some more great emails this week!
Madison has been learning phonics on buried treasure and working hard to improve her scores!

Poppy has been using buried treasure as well and has written a message in Morse code. She has also been using her Dads tape measure to find the tallest of 5 items and then compared their weight.


Adam has also been using a tape measure to practice measuring the furniture in his house and he made a fantastic car out of cardboard.


Benji has made up his own code and written a message for me to solve, he completed a treasure hunt using his reading skills and he has been playing dobble with his family.


And even though Arthur has been poorly he's been doing work at home and was particularly proud of learning his 3 x table!

Great work everyone!
Another great week!
Wren and Kidus earned the Be Positive badge.
Imaani and Hiyab got their rocket badges.
Ovie is the PE star this week.
We have been making some great models using different materials.
We gave a postcard to Majid for making careful choices.
Our PE star was Adam Ali.
