Sports day- The children have enjoyed an amazing day of teamwork, sports- man ship and just having fun! Enjoy the pictures of the children having lots of fun during our Sports day.
The children in Year 1 have been enjoying learning all about the Victorians and how different life was in the Victorian era. As part of our topic, we travelled back in time to spend the day in a Victorian classroom! Our school desks were lined up, and are using chalk and board to write their times tables. Year 1 staff were in the role of strict Victorian teachers. Our pupils were asked to line up outside their classrooms – before they were allowed to enter they had to politely greet their teachers (“Good Afternoon Mrs Garforth”), while the staff checked their hands and shoes for cleanliness. They are having a great day!
We have had a great 'Day of Welcome' day. We had a surprise visit from a 'Canary',we looked after it really well. The children shared ideas about how to keep it safe and what was the connection between the canary and refugees. They also found out why the canary came to be the Norwich City emblem.
Dojo celebration- Today the children dressed up as 'what they aspire to be when they grow up'. followed by a talent show, the children were amazing! We had- astronauts, scientists, vets, doctors and lots more all in all, the experience brought plenty of cuteness, tons of laughs, and they all left feeling a little more inspired to dream big.
The children had lots of fun today choosing their snack and paying for it. They had to count their money and work out the correct change they would be given. .
Chembakolli Over the last few weeks the children have been learning facts about a small village in India called Chembakolli. We enjoyed learning about India, especially how they produced different products to export for other counties. We tasted tea, mixed spices and learnt about the journey of tea. We also enjoyed making mud bricks and made Chembakolli houses using a range of materials and of course there was 'Bollywood' dancing!
During Math's the children were working together to explore numbers to 0-50 using a tens frame.
Micro Habitat- The children had a great time exploring our science unit Habitats and worked extremely well to make a micro habitat. They talked with their learning partners to decide what they would have to include. Then they had the chance to work collaboratively, discussing different materials needed to build their life-size habitat.

The children had a great time selecting materials and making a rocket. They had to explore what would happen when it was launched... Their excitement, when launched, was brilliant! Thank you Mrs Allen.
We explored the Joy of Not knowing Things and found out that when we get stuck is when the learning starts! We designed our own learning pits and learned strategies to escape them. We then decided to make our own What Makes a Good Leaner Potion. The children used their senses in unusual ways; close observation and lots of smelling! The children used language creatively to describe their potion and create magical instructions.
The children loved our week on brainwaves! We learnt all about how our brains work and the connections our neurons make. We worked out that knowledge and learning equal learning!
During Math's year 1 were looking at different heights and lengths of objects. The children were asked to cut out animals and put them in order from tallest to shortest.. They were then asked questions relating to their order, as an extension task, I asked the children to place themselves in the order of shortest to tallest.
The children had a great time making their journey sticks. It involved hunting, collecting, comparing with other children, as well as the opportunity to get creative with the stick design. We found a variety of shapes, colours , textures and sizes.
