You all looked amazing in your costumes… Our day has been filled with excitement, imagination and innovation! The children worked very hard to adapt our story and make their own. Please watch our video. Can you guess what our story for the day was? Finally, as a treat at the end of the video, I […]

During Science week, we have been learning about David Attenborough, and acting like him by exploring the fascinating animals in each continent of the world. We have explored cold climates, hot climates, dry climates and wet climates. A scorching climate we explored the African Savanna and created a habitat for the animals to live in.

We have learnt so much during music week! We have used so many key words including: tempo, beats, pitch and lyrics. We created album covers for our cover of the song Ghost Town by The Specials (see our separate music video blog). challenge: write one of our key words and write what it means.

The children created a music video for out Ghost Town song by The Specials.

In Year 1 we have been learning and adapting our class poem! We have used our rhyming skills to add a line to great a bigger verse and we got to recite the poem too! We hope you enjoy our learning…

In our Science topic of animal antics, we have explored the terminology vertebrate and invertebrate. Then, we used our previous knowledge of animals and how they move to decide whether they have back bone or not. Challenges – what is an invertebrate? Can you name 5 vertebrates?

Please watch our video showcasing our maths learning of tens and ones! Listen carefully because there is a challenge at the end… Do you want to help at home? Please support your child to count in 10s to 100 and this will support their learning at school.

Ianis and his Dad made this at home. Can you tell me what animal type it is and what features the animal has?

We wanted to share with you a blog of our PE lessons because we thoroughly enjoy PE!

We all made progress in our spellings – this week we got our best scores!

We got 10 out of 10 in our spellings! Said did too but he was being a superstar reader and reading with an adult.

In Science this week, we have a recognised a variety of animals and their body parts. Then, we made models and recognised whether they are amphibians or reptiles. Please enjoy our video…

We celebrated a Kenyan style Christmas based on our story book. We developed our listening skills and imagination whilst playing our made up game of musical balance. Plus, we decorated our classrooom with paper chains and we all became elves for the day!

In 1 Red we developed our fine motor skills by making a cube from spaghetti and play doh. This helped us to recognise how many faces a cube has, understand the term ‘faces’ and recognise corners. After, we talked about ither 3D shapes and how many faces they have.

We have been learning about the seasons in year 1 this half term. Please enjoy our blog.

This week the children are learning about instructions. We have identified imperative verbs (bossy verbs) in a text and read a text to complet a task. Through this we have developed our reading skills of blending words using phonics and our understanding of what we are reading. Look at how much fun we had…

We would like the children to get creative at home! We are creating a phonics display and would love some of the children’s aliens on the wall. As we know so many parents are very creative in 1 Red, we would like you to help your child make an alien to go on display. Here […]

Thank you to all the donations we received for Children In Need. Here are 1 Red enjoying the day…

We got 10 out of 10 on our spelling test! We made a massive improvement on our spelling test!
