We had a lovely day today exploring the picture book 'Tuesday' by David Weisner.  We looked at what was happening the story and why, made predictions, created our own super powers and had lots of discussions about our ideas and thoughts. A HUGE effort on the costume front! Thank you!

 Wow! What a day we have had in Year One celebrating World Book Day.  The children were introduced to a new book today called 'Tuesday' which they absolutely loved! They did some writing about the book.  We also had great conversations about what word they came dressed as. 

 In English, we have been learning to read and write our own instructions.  On Friday, the children followed instructions about how to make a jam sandwich.  They even came up with some great imperative verbs for each instruction such as spread, put and eat.  Today, they wrote their instructions.   

  Today we were lucky enough to be part of a live event in association with World Book Day.  We heard from the author of 'A Very Happy Ramadan' and then she read us the story!  It was really fantastic as it linked with Miss Rushen's collective worship too!

 Today in English, the children were introduced to instructions.  They learnt that instructions are a set of rules that someone must follow in order to make or build something.  Some instructions have: numbers, imperative (bossy) verbs and pictures.  The children were telling instructions to each other. 

  LO: Subtract within 20 06.02.26 Today, the children were subtracting within 20 by telling a ‘First, Then, Now’ story using 10 frames to support them. Example: First, there were 15 children on the bus. Then, 5 children got off the bus. Now, there are 10 children on the bus.

  In PE, we have been working on agility, balance and coordination both inside and outside.  We have been learning to jump in different ways, climb and balance on different equipment and most importantly, move safely. Our final lesson on this journey led to us using the wall bars!  We loved every minute and Mr Ladlow was particularly impressed with our listening and taking turns.
