We have had a great first day back at school. All children have slipped back into their routines and seem ready for the half-term ahead.
We started summer 2 with a visit from VIA where we learnt all about how to cross a road safely. We really e enjoyed this and learnt a lot about zebra and pelican crossings and the importance of STOP, LOOK, LISTEN. Check out photos from our session at the bottom of this blog.
Important information about Jigsaw sessions in Summer 2.
Thank you to everyone who came to our class assembly on Friday 28th April. We had lots of fun putting together our video, and we hope you enjoyed it.
Year 1 are working really hard in school at the moment and are developing into fantastic and confident little learners!
We have had a great time celebrating the King's Coronation last week and have engaged in lots of practical maths activities.
Our science and geography lessons are helping us take notice of the seasons and weather, and we are keeping an eye on our weather station. The rain gauge has filled up quite a lot over the weekend thanks to the wet weather!
In art this week, we will be looking at different painting techniques (marbling and Brusho) and eventually applying these techniques when painting seasonal landscapes.
Phonics Screening Check
The Phonics Screening Check (PSC) will be taking place shortly after we get back from May half-term. To help your child prepare for this I have sent home some activities to complete at home. The PSC only assesses accuracy and not speed - so your child does not need to read these words speedily and can follow the 'special friend, Fred talk, read the word' routine.
If you have any questions about this upcoming test, let me know and I will help where I can.
Phonics books this week
Due to the Year 6 SATs taking place this week, we will not be splitting off into our normal phonics groups. I will send home books which your child has already read. This will give them a chance to practise their fluency and storyteller voices.
Welcome back Year 1.
Introducing our next topic... Our Splendid Skies.
We had a great time on our trip to Manor Farm Park. Check out the gallery for pictures of our day.
Manor Park Farm - Monday 20th March
On Monday we are going on our school trip to Manor Park Farm. Please can children be in school at 8.50am as the bus is leaving at 9.15am. All children will need a packed lunch and wellies.
We had the most amazing time celebrating World Book Day yesterday. The children's costumes were amazing.
Our focus of the day was poetry, and we kicked off the day by writing a whole school collaborative poem about our school. We then explored 4 different poems and completed some great activities to do with these poems. '
Here are just a handful of the poems we looked at:
The Jabberwocky - Lewis Carroll
Magical Box - Kit Wright
Eye Spy With My Rainbow Eye
Daffodil - William Wordsworth

Hello Keller Class!
Didn't we tell you?! We went on a trip to London last week to take a look at the human features and famous landmarks. (Don't worry, we didn't really go! We used our imagination to turn KPNS into St Pancras train station and got the underground from Keller Class to the hall).
