We have been practising our skills ready to build our own houses. All the children looked at different ways of joining materials together.

Year 1 Team
Star of the Week
Well done Ella R for being the star of the week. This was awarded for an improved attitude to your learning and showing lovely friendship skills. Well done Ella.
Computing
This term we have been learning more about algorithms.
We have made algorithms using our laptops, looking at how the instructions we give allow the object to move across the map. We have also looked at what to do if we make a mistake and how we can ensure we provide the computer programme with the correct instructions.
Over the last few weeks, we have completed a range of levels and by the end we were able to correctly deliver the post to the right houses.
Art
This term we are learning about Abstract Art.
Last week we looked at the artist Kadinsky. The children looked at his circle painting whilst re-capping primary and secondary colours and mixing colours.
They then had to paint the circles, using different colours, shades and tints, ensuring they kept within the lines.
Phonics Screening
Last week we ran a parent meeting about the Phonics Screening that Year One pupils will do in June this year.
Please find attached the Powerpoint.
Children should have also received a pack if you weren’t able to attend the meeting.
If you have any questions or queries please don’t hesitate to contact your class teacher or Miss Common!

Star of the Week
Well done to Jack for being the star of the week. This was awarded for always coming into school with a smile, for being a great role model to his peers and always trying his best. Great work Jack.
Boogie Bounce
Last week, years 4, 5 and 6 all got the opportunity to have a taster in boogie bounce. It looked like everyone had lots of fun, even the teachers who decided to take part as well! We were very lucky to have them come into our school and teach us different moves.
Sports hall Athletics
Last term Year 4 and 5 took part in a sports hall Athletics competition at the Marsh Academy. Both year groups did fantastically well and a team from each year group won their heats. They all showed great sportsmanship and tried their best in every event! Well done to everyone who took part.
More great Maths learning in Year 1
This week in Maths we have been learning about more than, less than and equal to. We have been busy comparing objects and numbers using the key language.
