Creating an e-book

In computing we have been learning to create an e-book. We now have added pictures, text, animation and sound.

World Book Day 2019

 

 

I was incredibly privileged to teach in Meerkats today and to see their incredible hats! I was so impressed by their efforts I simply could not choose and had to hand out extra treats! I pleaded to pick more than one winner but sadly I couldn’t, I loved so many. I was even lucky enough to try some on. Thank you for a lovely day Meerkats and we’ll done with your hats.

Hot Seating

Over the next few weeks we are writing about owls so today we found out lots about them. We even pretend to be owls so that we could ask 5hem questions to find out more.

Man in the Moon.

Our new book is Man on the Moon. Today we freeze framed some pages from the book.  Can’t you match the pictures to the freeze frames?

Tree Planting

To mark the Queen’s commitment to the Commonwealth we are planting trees in the school grounds.

Here are the Meerkat trees!

Our Local Area

Our new topic this term is ‘Our Local Area’. We are reading the story of the Jolly Postman. We even received a letter from him this week! In reply to his letter we would like to ask the Jolly Postman questions about his job. Here we are as the Jolly Postman asking and answering questions.

Freeze Frames

On Friday we created freeze frames of the characters in ‘Traction Man is Here!’ In groups of four, we chose from a variety of pictures from the story and stood as statues to represent the picture. We had to think carefully about how the characters were standing or sitting and what feelings they were displaying.

PE

Today was our first PE lesson and we loved it! Everyone joined in and there were lots of smiles and laughs throughout. We warmed our bodies by moving about as different animals. First we were slithering snakes, then buzzy bees and finally big, slow elephants. The skill we learnt was to throw and catch a ball.

Toys

We have started our first topic in Year 1. On Wednesday afternoon we had our ‘Wow Start’. We spoke about our favourite toys, London’s favourite toy is Thomas the Tank Engine and Rosalie’s favourite toy is Jessie from Toy Story. We also played board games, visited the toy shop, made puppets and looked at the new book we will be using in our writing lessons (Traction Man is Here).
