Terrific Time Travellers

The children in Year 1/2 had a great afternoon finding out about toys from the past. They explored the old toys from the museum and found out lots of interesting information.  

They are all desperate to learn how to use a diablo now .......please let us know if anyone is successful.

Roald Dahl's Birthday


Year 1/2 had a great time celebrating Roald Dahl's 100th birthday.  At the end of the day we all sung happy birthday to him and enjoyed a bit of birthday cake !!

Do you like our BFG ears ??????




Our Learning Characters in action!

Year 1/2 have been using our learning characters to find ways to help us become more effective learners. They are Proud Peacock, Memorable Meerkat, Curious Cat, Teamwork Toucan, Resilient Rhinos and Have a Go Hippos.
 In order to solve problems as a team we can be Resilient Rhinos and Have a Go Hippos.

We created the tallest towers using art straws and masking tape. We found it was easier with a friend to complete the task! 

Science afternoon

During Science this afternoon,we looked at different materials. Firstly, we had to sort a variety of objects with no given criteria and then again using the headings wood, fabric, plastic, metal and glass. Perhaps you would like to look at why we use different materials.


We had to talk about why foil and plastic ribbon weren't fabric.





Sorted according to colour.


Learning to learn week in year 1/2.


During our first week at school we thought about what makes us successful learners. We had a great time learning to be resilient when we learn, even if things are a little tricky!


Number Bonds









Year 1 have been completing a variety of activities to help learnt and retain their number bonds.


Counting

We have practised counting out the right number of objects, recognising objects and ordering numerals.



Learning about Learning

The first week was spent learning about how we learn and thinking about the school Learning Characters. We met Teamwork Toucan, Memorable Meerkat, Have a go Hippo, Curious Cat and Proud Peacock.
