Year 1 Making a Victorian Toy, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 2nd Jul 2018 @ 7:00pm
For our history lesson today we learnt all about the Victorian times and the kind of toys that children would have played with.
We learnt that a popular toy at the time, particularly with poorer Victorians, was a cup and ball game, so we had a little go at making one of our own!
The children had great fun doing this and loved playing with them once we had finished. They did an excellent job of following the instructions and worked really independently to complete their toys :)
Y1 Goodbye to our Associate Teachers, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 29th Jun 2018 @ 1:48pm
Today we said a sad farewell to our Associate Teachers from the University of Chester.
Miss Kearns and Miss Barrett have been with us since November and have just come to the end of a six week teaching block where they have been teaching Literacy, Numeracy, Phonics and Science to Year 1.
We have really enjoyed having them with us and the children are going to really miss them.
We would also like to thank them for their lovely card and for the copy of 'The Snail and the Whale' by Julia Donaldson which they kindly bought us as a gift for our book corner. We will think of them every time that we read it :)
We wish them luck in their next school placement and in their future careers :)
Year 1 Making a Hoctopize, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 21st Jun 2018 @ 2:33pm
We are reading a brilliant book called 'Toys in Space' by Mini Grey in Year 1.
One of the characters in the story is a Hoctopize so we had a go at making one of our own!
We had lots of fun doing it and if you fancy making one, we will be writing the instructions for how to do it!
Year1 Special Visitor, by Mrs Harrison

Today we had a visit from Nye's Grandma who came to visit to talk to us about the toys she played with when she was a little girl. She brought with her a Bagatelle and a hedgehog she bought when on holiday as a girl in the 1950's. We had a great time learning about the past. Thank you so much for visiting us and helping us with our historical research :)

Year 1 Toys, by Mrs Harrison

This week we started our new topic 'Toys' and we were allowed to bring our own toy from home to share with the class. We enjoyed presenting our toy to a small group of children and then writing about our toys. Next week we will be starting to look at the toys our parents and grandparents would have played with and we have some special visitors coming to talk to us!

Maths of the Day in Year 1, by Mrs Bailey
Date: 8th Feb 2018 @ 5:09pm
We had fun in the hall and classroom today developing our numeracy skills. Number Bingo was very popular as we secured our number recognition. It caused a great deal of excitment as everyone got closer to a full house! We used Numicon resources and bead strings to secure ten in our head and to help us see that we don't need to keep counting from one.
