We have worked really hard and learnt so much so far this year and could't wait to show everyone everything we have achieved. All of the children were so brave and made all of the adults proud by learning their lines and using big, confident voices so that everyone could hear them. Well done Class One you are all amazing! Keep up the hard work. Today we had a wonderful day celebrating World Book Day! We all came dressed as a character from our favourite book or out cozy PJ's ready to enjoy a bedtime story.
The day has been filled with sharing stories, learning about authors and illustrators. At the end of the day adults shared their favourite stories and the children enjoyed a hot chocolate and a chocolate buiscuit! Can we do this every week please!? As part of our PHSCE topic we have learnt about e-safety and road safety. As part of this we learnt the green cross code, we had fun singing the green cross code song. We will make sure we are always safe when crossing the road! This half term we have been identifying animals and their characteristics. More recently we have been looking at what animals eat and sorting them into herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. We now know that carnivores eat only meat, herbivores eat only plants and omnivores eat a mixure of both. We thought about what we are, and looked at the foods a variety of animals ate and which catergory they were in. Today the children were given 3 'poos' (playdough) from animals from each catergory. we dicected them and discussed if they were herbivores (had only leaves in), carnivores (had only bones in) or omnivores (a bit of both.) We had so much fun pulling apart poo! KS1 have been working their socks off over the last few months learning lines and songs words and we knocked everyone's socks off with our AMAZING performance! We danced and sang our hearts out and had so much fun doing it. To raise money for Barnsley Hospice the children were invited to come to school in festive clothes or non school uniform. We had a lot of fun and it has definately got us in the festive mood! Through the day we then designed our own christmas jumpers. Look how far we have come from September! We have stripped writing back in Year 1 and started by writing letters on a line, then words and then sentences on a line including capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. This week we have been holding a sentence as a class and then creating our own. We are so proud of how far we have come. Keep yours eyes peeled for updates on our 'wonderful Writing!' In Class 1 we are becoming quite the mathmaticians! We have been working hard to develop our number knowledge and have been making and breaking the number 5 with the support of a part whole model. Just look at some of our amazing number sentences! At Athersley South Primary School we are all ambasadors for kind words and keeping each other safe and happy. As part of anti-bullying week we all took part in odd socks day. We wore odd socks to show that we are determind to stamp out bullying and are working hard to spread kindness and happiness instead. This years moto is 'make a noise!' We all enjoyed danicing and singing along to the song and shared who we could 'make a noise to' if someone was being unkind to us. This week in class 1 we have been developing our understanding of numbers and looking at the biggest and smallest numbers in the group. We have also been using symbols to show more than >, less than < or equal to = and using them to create a number sentence.
Oscar has been practising this independently in our provision areas using the stem sentence '___is greater than ____', ' ___ is less than___' or '____ is equal to ____'. He proudly went to show his work to Mrs Sanderson and Mrs Belfield (the maths leader). We are all very poud of your hard work and perseverance when it comes to your maths work, well done and keep up the hard work! |
