It has been a fantastic week in Year 1. We have been up to all sorts of wonderful things, but most importantly we have performed in our Summer Concert. Thank you to everyone who came to watch, it was a most enjoyable show. Without a doubt, the stars of the concert were indeed the Year 1s with their cool Grease routine.
Here are a few comments from the children...
Elizabeth: It was kinda scary when all the Mums and Dads were in the audience, but then when we started enjoying ourselves we forgot we were even nervous. My favourite part was the Grease song!
Lily: It was lots of fun and my favourite part of the show was Hakuna Matata! We loved it so much.
This week we have been planting seeds because our new topic is Growth and Changes. We found lots of leaves in the forest and we even had a plant expert helping us... Mr Marfleet. He ensured that none of us left the forest without understanding photosynthesis in it's entirety!
He told us all about the different names of leaves. He also said leaves were for breathing and they make sugar. (Erin)
Their pipes take the sugar up and down the tree. The roots collect the water. (Rahin)
In ICT we used Paint to draw, we labelled them and printed them ourselves. I wrote my name in the biggest font there was! (Elizabeth)
We planted runner beans, sunflower, radishes, pumpkins, tomatoes, poppies. (Erin)
We have been learning about poetry and have written our own versions of Five Enormous Dinosaurs. These were thoroughly entertaining!
For 'Show & Tell' poetry was our focus and we shared some fantastic poems. Here is just one of the fine examples of what we experienced...
Saturday Night
One Saturday night in London I went to a restaurant
The waiter took us to table eighteen
for my starter I ordered one ice-cream
Then I ate lots of things I had never tried before
Some were mucky
Some were yucky
Some were funny
Some were yummy
For pudding I had some homemade apple pie
Then we paid the bill "Thank you, Bye!"
