Wow! What an exciting morning Year One have had! We entered the classroom to find some spooky decorations, halloween music, spider's webs and a bubbling couldron! The children explored the classroom and talked about the different things that they could see before discussing as a class what we thought was inside the couldron. The children thought of some fabulous ideas such as witches fingers, frogs legs and even mouldy bread!
Today we have taken some time to learn about Autumn. We watched videos all about Autumn and talked about how and why the leaves on the trees change colour, how the weather changes, how some animals adapt such as hibernation and migration and some special things that happen in Autumn such as Halloween and Bonfire Night. After a class discussion, we decided to go on a walk around school to see if the leaves on the trees had started to change. We found that some of them had started to change colours and some had already fallen from the trees.
Our year has come to an end. It's been exciting, busy and very successful. A big well done to all the children and good luck in your new class next year. Love from Mrs Cowliing

Look at our brilliant homework projects.
The children created a rainforest animal at home and brought them into school to share at circle time. Great job everyone.

Today we have had some amazing visitors in our class. Andrew the animal man came into Year 1 with spiders, snakes, gekos, frogs, millipedes and our favourite, a skinnypig. The children got to hold the animals and found out lots of interesting facts about rainforest animals. Andrew also told us all about the layers of the rainforest and the different animals that can be found there. It was a fabulous experience for the children and we would like to thank school for providing the children with this. A super day in Year 1.
Our topic for this half term is The Rainforest. The children will be learning about different rainforests around the world, the layers of the rainforest, animals in the rainforest and how to protect the rainforest.
We will also be having "real" rainforest animals coming into our class for the children to have a hands on experience. They will get to hold, touch and see frogs, spiders, snakes, lizards and many more.
This will be a very busy and exciting half term and the children will have lots of fun.

This week has been Egyptian Week. In Year 1 we have been finding out about the pyramids, Tutamkhamen, the Gods and Goddesses, hieroglyphics and looking at Egyptian artefacts. The children have made their own card pyramids and made an Egyptian artefact out of clay. It's been a busy week , learning lots of interesting facts and having lots of fun too.
Today we have performed our amazing puppet shows. The children had to design and make their own Punch or Judy puppet. They had to write a script and perform their show to the rest of the class. We all did a super job and I am very proud of their extra loud voices. Great job Year 1.

During our P.E sessions we have been learning circus skills. We have been juggling with scarves, hula hooping, balancing on the beams and walking on stilts. We have had great fun and we are keeping fit too.
