Year 1 Archive

We were really lucky to have Kent Fire and Rescue Service visit us on Tuesday.

The children learnt about the role of a fire fighter, we saw what protective clothing they have to wear and how they keep safe.

We also learnt some rhymes to help keep us safe…

Matches, lighters

never touch

They can hurt you

very much

We also learnt that every week we should check our smoke detectors, so that when we are sleeping they can be our eyes and our noses and detect fire for us!

Keep your family safe from harm

Have a working smoke alarm

Both classes then tested materials as part of our science topic this term to find out which material would be the best for a fireman’s hose!

We have been learning the days of the week as part of our Mental Maths lessons this week.

Can you remember the song and use it to help you remember which day comes next?

Have fun with this game too….

Remember to log on and play the games set on Mathletics 🙂

Well.. What a way to end the term!

We had a great last day, the children decorated their t-shirts, made some bug foods and we then spent the afternoon enjoying all our hard work from the morning 🙂

We had a surprise visit from our very own hungry caterpillar who came to check that we had remembered all the sounds we had learnt this term. The children had bubbles to enjoy the sunshine outside and then we practised our butterfly dancing (amongst other insects) with Miss Durham.

Thank you to all the parents who supported us by bringing in t-shirts.

Have a great Half term break.

We can’t believe that next week is the last of this term!

To celebrate our topic this term we are going to have an Ugly Bug Ball.

A ParentMail message went out last week asking for old plain t-shirts. We are going to make costumes and food, and dance like insects on Friday. Please make sure that the T-shirt is old as we will be decorating it!!

If you have balloons or anything else that could decorate our classrooms we’d really appreciate it  – Thank you!!

This week we have begun our online-maths activities.

Your teachers will set you tasks to do at home on a tablet or computer. You can ask your parents / siblings for help if you need it.

After you have completed the tasks set you’re able to log on and compete through ‘live mathletics’ with other pupils from around the world. It is one of the best ways at learning number bonds and improving the speed at which you can recall facts.

The king of Mathletics for this week is: Harry Clements (Badgers Class)

The queen of Mathletics for this week is: Milli-Grace Spencer-Rogers (Otters  Class)

Well done 🙂
