Story telling puppets
our art this half term is making puppets. We have been working hard with our sewing but you will have to wait a bit longer to see the finished results. Our card stick puppets were much easier to make. We are going to use them to help us retell our class story.
Reason to write...
Our new topic ‘Old Favourites’ has got off to a great start with some really beautiful writing from Year 1. They were so enthusiastic to share information about their favourite stories and toys that it has given them a real purpose for their writing and has really motivated them to produce…
Fabulous Topic work
I thought you might like to see the display of the children’s super work from our plants topic. There was so much beautiful work that I had to make little boxes so everyone could see all of their great work. The children should feel really proud when they see their work in the hall.

Growing a beanstalk...

How does it feel to be back in school?
As part of our topic ‘Here we are’, we have been talking about how it feels to be back in school. It was great to hear the children say how much they were enjoying being back in school and how important seeing their friends was to them. Lots of them talked about missing family and feeling tired…

Nouns Everywhere!
This week we have started to read our Power of Reading text 'Stone Age Boy'. We have been identifying nouns and verbs in sentences, constructing our own expanded noun phrases and looking at how we can improve word choices to make our descriptions of settings…
