Christmas party hats

We have been making  Christmas  hats.

 

Cock a Doodle Christmas

This is what we looked like just before we performed our Christmas play, Cock-a-Doodle Christmas. We felt very nervous but we really enjoyed performing, especially singing the songs.

What do you think of our costumes? Can you guess which characters we all played? 

Which material should we build our boat from?

Miss Murray worked with us last week to try and find the best material to make a boat. We tested lots of materials by putting them in water and seeing what happened. The materials needed to be able to float, as well as being waterproof. 

Come and ask us which material we thought was the best.

Our trip to the postbox.

We walked to the postbox and posted our letters .  We took max.it was very cold.

Magnets

Last week we got chance to play with lots of magnets in class. We investigated which materials they would stick to, and worked together to try and find out whether there were any special features of magnets that would make them useful for different jobs.

Miss Murray invented a fantastic game where we had to try and pick up metal paper clips on the table using our magnets. It was a lot of fun!

Why not come and ask us what we found out...

Making a graph

Today we worked with Miss Murray to make a class pictogram showing the most common hair colour in Year One.

Can you see which colour came out as the most common? 

Anti-Bullying Week

It's Anti-bullying week at school this week so we've been thinking about some of the things that bullies would say or do, and about what we can do if we're being bullied or we see someone being bullied.

We decided that it's always better to tell a grown up, even though bullies can be really scary!

Minecraft

This afternoon I have been creating a house in Minecraft.

I used a woodpecker and a window.

It was fun.

Number Beads

This afternoon I have been using the ipad to put the number beads in the right order. It was too easy for me!

Can we label our school?

We have just started a new science topic all about materials. We have been thinking about the reasons why different objects are made from different materials - why do shoes need to be waterproof? Why do pencils have to be light and easy to pick up?

It was such a sunny morning this morning that we decided to go out into the school playground and make some lists of all the materials that have been used to build the different parts of our school. We saw glass, bricks, wood and lots of others.

How many materials can you see when you look carefully at our school building?

Around Our School

This week we began a new topic, learning about the area around our school.

We took the iPads out onto Valley Rd and took lots of pictures of houses, roads, signs and many other things. Then we went back into class and looked at our photos together.

We used the photos to draw pictures of the things around our school. We have been learning about how to use labels in out Literacy lessons, so we added some labels to make our pictures really clear.

What did you think of them?

Visit to St John's Church

This week at school we are celebrating Festivals Week, and in Year one we are learning about why churches are important places for Christian people. We were lucky enough to be able to visit St John's church in Heaton Mersey yesterday afternoon, where we were able to see some of the features of churches that we'd been learning about in school. We saw

stained glass windows, pews, an altar, candles, a font and lots of other things too. Thank you to the vicar, Marcus Maxwell, for making us feel so welcome and giving us such an interesting tour. Thanks also to the army of mums who came along to help us walk to and from school - we really couldn't have done it without your help. Why not come and ask us about some of the things that we saw - we'd love to tell you!

Are there any bugs in our bug hotel?

Today we went onto the field to look at our bug hotel. We wanted to see whether any bugs had come to stay.

We thought we would see LOTS of bugs.

But we didn't see very many at all. There were only two tiny flies sitting on the roof.

We are going to go out and check again in a few weeks. We hope some bugs have come next time. Lewis thought that we should put some food near the hotel to attract them.

Teddy Day

Today we all brought our teddies to school. We talked about their names, what they look like, how they feel and where they came from. 

Some of us had big teddies. Some of us had little teddies. Some teddies were old. Some teddies were new. 

We really enjoyed comparing them.
