Year 1

Mr Blanks came into school today to launch our 100 mile challenge. Year 1 enjoyed running our mile and are very excited to take this challenge on. 

We have had an amazing year this year. Here is a look back at all our fun. I hope you all have an amazing summer.

We were very lucky today in Year 1 to have Ben and Holly come into class to do some drama skills with us.  We played lots of games and had an amazing time.

The children in Year 1 have had a lovely morning having their faces painted before the Summer Fete.

Year 1&2 have had a fun filled day at the Energi Trampoline Park in Carlisle.  The children bounced around using lots of energy and were a credit to the school.  We then went to Bitts Park for a lovely picnic lunch and a play on the play park.  A big thank you to all the helpers on the trip and to…

Year One have had a fabulous visit to the library this morning. We heard all about the summer reading challenge and have some keen readers ready to tackle the challenge.  

We were very lucky to have the police dogs visit Year 1 today. The children had some very interesting questions for the handlers.  We found out about how they are trained and what they like to eat, amongst other things.  

In Year 1 today we have been ordering the months of the year.  We wrote the months on strips of paper to practise our spelling and then ordered them into paper chains.  They look amazing hanging in our book corner.

Today we took advantage of the sunshine and had our class story in the lovely cool gazebo.  Our stories had an animal theme and taught us about how nice it is to make time for the people we love. 

As part of our local area topic we today have been looking at our school grounds.  We looked at all the different materials we have in our school and took rubbings to show the different textures our school and playground have.  We are hoping to visit the castle and create similar rubbings to…

In year 1 this morning we have been shopping for different items.  We shopped for items priced between 10p and 50p using coins to make the amounts.  We then took our shopping to the till and the cashier checked our money was correct. 

We said a fond fairwell to our tadpoles today.  Becca has taken them back to the pond at Florence Arts Centre as they were developing both front and back legs.  We can visit the pond to see how they are getting on a little later in the year.
