Letters to Father Christmas
We were all very excited to post our letters to Father Christmas this afternoon!
Handwriter of the Week
Bumblebee's have all been working really hard with their writing and doing a fantastic job. We are now starting to really focus on improving our letter formation and handwriting. To celebrate the children's achievements we have introduced our 'Handwriter of the Week' award.
A big 'Well Done' to Cooper who was our first member of our class to receive this award!
A big thumbs up for George this week for being our ‘Hand writer of the Week’!
A visitor!
This week we had a visit from the ‘Big Bad Wolf’ from the ‘Three a Little Pigs’. The children had worked hard writing questions for him and were able to ask him in person over a zoom call!
Fun Friday!
The children loved wearing non school uniform on Friday and running laps of the playground in a whole school effort to run the same distance as the ‘Rickshaw Challenge’ in support ‘Children in Need’.
Great effort Bumblebee’s!
Also, a big ‘Well Done’ to Xander and Caiomhe for being our ‘Stars of the Week’.
The Three Little Pigs
Bumblebee Class began this week with a hunt through the woods. Only to discover that someone had built a den! But who would live in a den like this? The children looked at the clues:
A book '50 Ways to Cook a Pig', some curly tails, paw prints and old bones, and quickly decided that it must be the Big Bad Wolf from the 'Three Little Pigs'!
Amazing Autumn!
We have had a great time exploring Autumn this week. We started our week with a ‘Senses Walk’ around the school grounds to gather lots of lovely ideas to write our Autumn poems. We were able to enjoy the falling leaves on our way round and even found a few conkers to help us practice our counting and ordering numbers!
Some of this weeks and ‘Discover and Do’ Autumn Challenges
What a fantastic start!
We are so pleased with all the children and how well they have settled into Bumblebee Class. We have had a busy first couple of weeks getting to know our classroom and exploring all the new areas. The children have been taking on new learning challenges each day and we are thrilled to see how well they work together.
Your child will be sent home with two reading books each week. Please make sure that they bring them into school with them each day.
‘Discover and Do’ Challenges
This week in Year 1 we have introduced our ‘Discover and Do’ challenges. The children have been set six tasks to complete across the week in amongst their other learning. We have been so pleased to see the children approach these various challenges with enthusiasm and enjoy collecting their sticker for each task completed.
We are particularly proud of those children who worked really hard to complete all six challenges in this first week. These children are Matilda, George, Arlo, Georgia, Mila, Lola, Isla, Darcie, Sophia, Lucas, Flora, Emilia and Darcey. Well done everyone, you are doing brilliantly! 😃
