Mrs Bendelow/Mrs Robinson - Year 1 - 2020/2021
22.07.21 Dress for Mess! We had such a fun, art focused, day. We started the day with giant group art using a range of materials. We learned all about primary colours and explored mixing them with our hands to make secondary colours. Outside we thought about different reasons to paint. After sanding down the wood, we started to paint the fences, we need a few more coats! Throughout the day the children also freely choose art and building activities of their own.
09.07.21 Carnival Day! We had such a fun colourful day. We danced and joined in a routine together, admired a real carnival head dress and showed off our own groovy moves!
21.06.21 LI: Should we care for everyone?
Today in Year 1 we read Mark 10 v 13-15 , we talked about how Jesus wanted to bless everybody including small children as he recognised their importance. In RE today we thought about our unique and valuable characteristics that Jesus recognised in the bible, we drew around our partners and labelled our qualities. These consisted of : helping others , cuddling my siblings, being kind, being thoughtful and helping teachers, rescuing my sister, making people laugh, sharing my ideas and toys, caring for animals and hugging my friends.
18.06.21 The children have had such a great day! They have done great writing about the works of Rudyard Kipling, ask them about ‘Just so’ stories. They have examined and discussed the works of Turner and begun to recreate his work. I am so delighted to see that ALL the children have made improvements in their spellings and as a result lots of children made it to Glorious Gold!! However, I am sorry to say that, as we were so excited celebrating, that the Father’s Day Cards did not make it into their bags. I am so sorry for this Dad’s! You now have a reason to extend your celebrations, maybe starting tonight with the football :) Here’s a glance at what you have to look forward to. Have a great weekend everyone and well done for all your great work. Mrs Bendelow
11.06.21 Happy Birthday Queen Elizabeth II
Today we enjoyed celebrating the birthday of Queen Elizabeth II. We decorated flags and talked about the Queen and the royal family. We thought the best way to celebrate was to sing Happy Birthday and wave our flags!
21.05.21 Today the children used all their knowledge of fairy tales to create a host of homes that any character would love! They used recycled materials and named them, as well as thinking about the properties. Their communication skills are fantastic as they worked together to create each home. They thought very carefully about which design features to include and explained them to the class in such detail.
Year 1 have enjoyed exploring odd and even numbers today. We have been learning the rules for Odd Todd and Even Steven and using our 0-100 number knowledge to sort the numbers accurately.
Number Day! We've done so many activities to celebrate number day and focus on learning our Bonds to 10. We used our objects and wrote out our number bonds number sentences. We then practised using our fingers to find the bonds. Outside, we had fun playing Bond pairs outside and used our fingers to check we had the right partner. Next we made our own number bonds ‘3 in a row’ games. We had lots of fun playing the games with our friends.

17.03.21 Today we were learning about the ‘un’ prefix. We talked about the word meanings and enjoyed acting with our partners to show the word meaning. Ext we showed the class so they could guess our words. Can you guess the words we are showing?
12.02.21 Science Day! We have had so much fun exploring several areas of science today. We have investigated water purification, explored materials and light by making flitter jars. We have also used ICT to research facts and use the internet safely. Ask your children all about their day and what they discovered and how they did it.
11.03.21 How to make a jam sandwich - Instruction writing. This half term, our writing focus is all about writing instructions. To help us learn what an instruction is we listened carefully and followed the instructions given to make a jam sandwich.
