On this page you can see updates over the term of our activities and learning.
Year One had a lovely trip to The Deep in Hull this week. We have been learning about different types of animals, including many that live under the sea. We have also been learning about the different continents. We had a wonderful time exploring the aquarium. The penguins and the jellyfish were particularly popular. One of the turtles swam past and gave us a wave as well. The trip really helped to enrich our science and geography curriculum and the children were positive ambassadors for the school, full of enthusiasm and questions.
The children had a wonderful time with the help of their grown-ups to create the fantastic sliding pictures they had previously designed. They carefully used paper, card, scissors, glue and crayons to create amazing moving pictures.
‘It was fun. I liked my mum coming to help me.’
‘My dad helped me and we had some yummy food.’
‘If you pull the strip of card, a rabbit pops out of a hat.’
‘I made a hot air balloon. I could move it up and down.’
‘It was great to come into school and do some crafting with my child.’
‘We had so much fun learning a new skill and bringing his designs to life.’
‘Super fun and creative!’
In Key Stage 1 we love to get together to read and share our favourite stories.
‘It’s fun to read with people from another class.’
‘I showed my new friend my favourite stories.’
‘The older children could read the trickier words.’
‘I love to talk about the pictures and chat with people.’
Sunflower class have settled wonderfully into their year 1 setting. We have had two special days where we have focussed on the themes of friendship and kindness. We have read some stories about Elmer and thought about how to play kindly with everyone - and that we are all unique and special in our own way! We have also made friendship bracelets, lots of crafts and made some musical instruments.
