Summer 2 Homework Menu

I have been impressed with how much effort everyone has been putting into their homework over the year. Lets see if everyone can get a certificate this half term; remember you get a bronze award for completing 4 pieces, a silver award for 6 pieces and a gold award for all 8 pieces. The homework menu is attached below. Phonics activities will continue to be set every Friday on Education City. 


Tremendous Toys: Have you got this toy at home?

This half term, our topic is called 'Tremendous Toys: Have you got this toy at home?' where we will be learning all about different toys and how things have changed since our grandparents were little. We have lots of exciting things happening this half term including martial arts, making our own wooden toys, sports day and much much more! For more information about what we will be covering see the attached document. 


Eco School

The Eco warriors have been working really hard this year on the three topics for the Eco schools award.  The topics are Saving Energy, Reducing Waste and Improving the School Grounds.  Due to their hard work we have recieved Eco Schools Bronze and Silver awards!  The certificates are attached below.

We have been extremely busy planting hundreds of trees, sowing wildflower seeds and seed bombs, learning how to save energy, putting up posters about saving energy, litter picking and using the new recycling and compost bins around the school.


South Pole Explorer Workshop

Year 1 had a virtual workshop with a South Pole Explorer today. We learnt all about what they would need to take on a South Pole expedition, what it is like in Antarctica and we got to ask lots of questions. We loved finding out that the explorers had to wash themselves with ice and even used ice instead of toilet paper! We found it funny that it was that cold that one of the explorers had an icicle hanging off his nose!


Freddy Fit

Year 1 loved taking part in the Freddy Fit circuit training session and had fun completing all the different activities - hula hooping, lunges, star jumps, squat jumps and more!
