Marvellous Maths
Year 1 had so much fun today exploring capacity during our maths lesson! They used vocabulary such as full, empty, half full, volume and capacity.
Year 1 Rabbits Enjoying World Book Day
We loved dressing up in comfy clothes and our favourite book characters for World Book day. All day we LOVED reading, listening to and enjoying great stories. We visited the library and had a visit from Mrs Hyde to share one of her fave books with us. We took part in craft activites based on a gorgeous book called “Look up” by Nathan Bryon. We created our own personalised bookmarks and even made reading crowns. What a great day!
How to stay safe!
During our PSHE lesson, Year 1 explored the importance of staying safe both at school and in the wider community. Working in teams, the children examined a range of pictures and discussed the rules they should follow in different situations. They also identified trusted adults and people who can help them in various settings, developing their understanding of how to keep themselves safe and who to turn to if they need support.
Year 1 get baking!
Today Year 1 went to Bowker Vale’s school kitchen to make Gingerbread Men. In English we are learning how to read, follow and write our own instructions. So, when we were in the kitchen we followed a set of simple instructions on how to make a Gingerbread Man and it was so much fun. After making our Gingerbread Men we decorated them and even got to enjoy eating them before any of them ran away!
Watch this space for Year 1’s written instructions and you can make a Gingerbread Man too.

To celebrate National Storytelling Week, Year 1 had a wonderful time sharing their favourite stories, listening to stories being read to them and even creating their own fabulous stories!
Mrs Kershaw and Mrs Stubbs love to read!
Our wonderful year 1 teachers have shared their favourite stories!
My favourite book is The Tiger who Came to Tea. I have lovely memories of reading this with my family. My favourite part was always when they decided to go out for tea as I loved to have sausages for my tea too!- Mrs Kershaw
When I was 5 my favourite story was Hairy Maclary because I loved my mummy reading it to me at bedtime.- Mrs Stubbs
