Year 1 - Express Yourself, Kandinsky style., by Miss Jones
Date: 5th Feb 2021 @ 5:11pm
For part of our work during Children's Mental Health Week, Year 1 explored the work of famous abstract artist Wassilly Kandinsky. He liked to use art and colour to express how he was feeling.
The children learnt about the primary colours and how to use them to mix secondary colours. We were inspired by Kandinsky's Concentric Circles so we decided to make our own version as a class. I was so impressed with Year One's artistic skills.
Whilst we cannot display our work in the classroom at the moment, we have created a virtual display for everyone to see here.
Year 1 - What makes ME special?, by Miss Jones
Date: 5th Feb 2021 @ 4:51pm
For part of our work for Children's Mental Health, the children in Year 1 talked with a grown up about what makes them special. We enjoyed learning the word unique and exploring what that means.
After discussing what makes them special, the children drew around their grown up's hand and wrote their top 5 reasons down. They then expressed their creativity and decorated their hand.
Reading the children's work just reminded me of what a kind, caring and hard working class Year One are. Click our Gallery to have a look at what makes us special.
Well done to our Year One Superstars

Today Year 1 have enjoyed learning how to draw a character from our new book called The Lion Inside.
We watched a step by step video by the illustrator, Jim Field to learn how to draw the mouse. Check out our fabulous drawings.
Miss Jones tweeted Jim Field to show him some of our drawings and he replied! How exciting is that.

Year 1 Week beginning 14.12.20, by Miss Jones
Date: 17th Dec 2020 @ 5:30pm
We have had a lovely week in Year 1 with lots of festive activities too.
On Monday we enjoyed playing Numbots on the iPads. The children loved setting up their Numbot and starting to play the game. I would encourage children to play Numbots at home to help with their number confidence, fluency and recall. Letters to Parents and Carers about accessing Numbots, including Logins were sent home on Monday. Please let me know if you need another copy. Login information is also on a sticker on the front of the children's homework books.
On Wednesday, we enjoyed pulling crackers and eating our delicious Christmas dinners. The children displayed wonderful manners in the hall, saying please and thank you to the adults who helped them. I enjoyed eating my lunch with the children too.
On Thursday, we had our pebble jar treat. We enjoyed watching The Grinch (rateed U). We also enjoyed party games in the hall in the afternoon.
Check our our gallery for more photographs of what we have been up to this week.
Have a wonderful Christmas Break. I look forward to welcoming you all back to school in the New Year.
Miss Jones.

This week, Year 3 have been developing a range of skills such as; fine motor, baking, planting, cutting, folding and decorating.
They have thoroughly enjoyed learning how to create salt dough decorations, shortbread, paper angels, Christmas crackers, wreaths and pot spider plants this week. We especially enjoyed our social distance Christmas dinner, party games and disco this afternoon.
We hope you enjoy their Christmas crafts and shortbread, if they let you taste it, as much as we have enjoyed sharing these skills with the class.

This week we marked the beginning of Advent by making decorations for our classroom Christmas trees. We also enjoyed making angels for a display in the local church.
Kitty the Kindness Elf also appeared in our classroom on Tuesday with a message to spread the kindness. Every day she brings a new way of spreading kindness such as saying please and thank you, letting someone go in front of you or simply smiling and saying hello to someone.
In English we have been learning how to write plurals by adding -s or -es to a word. In Maths we have been working on writing number sentences for addition and how to use counting on to add.

Another busy week in Year 1. We have enjoyed exploring number bonds in maths and we have been retelling the story, Lost and Found. The children have all worked really hard on their writing and use of finger spaces. We have also enjoyed spending time in the construction corner, making boats using blocks or lego, for the boy and the penguin to use to get back to the South Pole. We cannot wait to see what our new book will be on Monday.

There was music, fairy lights and images of the ‘Big Top’, acrobats, clowns, a white rabbit coming out of a top hat, a ringmaster, popcorn, candyfloss and a lot more! In pairs we wrote down what we could see, hear and taste. Here are some of Year 4's descriptions.

Y5 Armistice Day, by Mrs Percival
Date: 11th Nov 2020 @ 3:17pm
Today we have been learning about the tomb of the Unknown Warrior. We found out about what the tomb is, where it is and why it is there. We also looked at how Liverpool and Manchester were bombed during World War Two and discovered that a bomb landed on Ellesmere Port. We looked at a photograph of Mrs Percival's great grandfather, who was a soldier in the World War One and talked about his wartime story. At 11am, we observed a 2 minute silence.

We are enjoying our new book called , 'I'm Going to Eat this Ant' . We went on a bug hunt then wrote and drew lots of things an anteater may like to eat. We had some great ideas, like beans on toast, hot chocolate, slugs and pasta!
Year 1 Journey to the South Pole, by Miss Jones
Date: 9th Nov 2020 @ 8:06pm
What a busy day we have had in Year One!
This morning we read a little bit more of our story in English. The boy in the story decided to help the lost penguin by taking him back to the South Pole. We then talked about what it is like in the South Pole by watching a video and using google Earth. We found our that the South Pole is on the continent of Antarctica which is the coldest and windiest continent. Did you know that Antarctica is also classed as a desert because it does not rain very often?
After that, we talking about packing a suitcase for the journey. What would keep us warm? We looked inside Miss Jones' suitcase and practised reading all of the labels. We then wrote our own list of things to pack to go to the South Pole.
After lunch, we decided to make a snack to take on our journey... a jam sandwich. After making sure our hands were washed, we carefully followed the steps to make the sandwich. Then enjoyed eating it. Then we talked about if we liked it and if we would do anything differently next time.
Tomorrow we will write our own instructions to teach someone else how to make a delicious jam sandwich.
Well done Year 1!
