  • Exploring the streets

    Published 21/11/22, by Katie Sturman

    We had a great week last week in Keller class! Anti-bullying activities, Diwali celebration, our local area walk AND Children in Need day.

    We took a field trip around Keyworth village on Wednesday and explored what physical and human features can be found in our local area. We saw lots of human features such as shops, churches, houses, buses and more than 18 cars (we counted)! In our next geography lesson we will be identifying the human and physical features we can find around our school grounds. As a challenge at home, ask your child to count all of the physical and human features they spot on their way to school! I have attached some more home-learning ideas at the bottom of the blog for you to try out at home. 

        

            

          

      

    In RE last week we had a Diwali celebration in the classroom (in our spotty non-school uniform!). We made our own rangoli patterns out of coloured rice, created lanterns and danced to the sounds of Diwali celebrations. It was wonderful getting a taste of how other religions celebrate their important festivals. Between now and December 21st, we will be talking about Christianity and how/why Christmas is celebrated! We have started making our class advent calendar ready to kick off the countdown celebrations next week.

  • What have we been doing in Keller class?

    Published 15/11/22, by Katie Sturman

    Year One have got back into the full swing of learning, and we have had a great start to our new topics Street Dectectives: Our Local Area and What is it made of?

    Last week, we started practising our sewing skills. The children found this activity lots of fun - if you have the opportunity to practise this at home that would be fantastic (we have been using plastic needles and big pieces of string). A big shout-out to our helpers who gave up some of their time to help with this activity!

                                                                            

    In Jigsaw, we started looking at celebrating differences, and discussed how amazing it is that we are all different and unique. This linked in nicely with our anit-bullying week activities we completed on Monday. We made a beautiful class display around the theme Reach Out.

       "We are special and we are loved!"

         

           

    All children have settled back in to their phonics and maths routines! Over the past couple of weeks, we have been looking at number bonds to 10, adding more and using number lines to help solve addition problems. This week, we will be starting to look at subtraction. Please keep in the green zone on doodle maths to help consolidate the learning taken place in school.
