Yesterday we went to Shugborough Park Farm because we are learning about ‘Food and Farming’ and we wanted to find out about what farms were like in the olden days. First of all we split into two groups, one group went into the kitchen to bake bread and the other group went to visit the mill. Next we went to have our lunch and afterwards the groups swapped over.Then we went on a tour of the farm to look at all the animals. During the tour we met a lovely, friendly shire horse called William and after we played on the adventure trail. Last of all we went back to school feeling very tired but we had had a lovely day!

Today the children in Class One are having a special ‘Animal Magic’ day! We have all made animal masks and have dressed up as our favourite animal. We all look FANTASTIC! We are going to sing animal songs, play animal games and do a quiz.

We had a birthday in Class One this week, Megan was 6 years old on Thursday!! She had two gerbils which she has called Snowy and Stevey.  She also had a bike and a carnival game, lucky girl Megan.On Sunday she is going to Thomas Land for her birthday treat so we all hope she has a wonderful time!

We are all looking forward to our half-term holiday!

This week we did our Golden Book assessments and Mrs Fenton said they were VERY GOOD!! We had to write a story called ‘How the elephant got his trunk’.

We have made Easter cards with a pecking chick on the front. They look fantastic and we hope that our parents really like them.

We hope you have a happy Easter and that the Easter Bunny brings you lots of yummy chocolate eggs!

This week we have been busy learning how to write a story. We are trying to write a ‘Just So’ story called ‘How the tiger got his stripes’. We have been working in small groups and so far we have completed the beginning and the middle of our stories. Next week we are hoping to finish them and make them into a book.

We have been drawing pictures about the Royal Wedding for the May Day celebrations at Norbury Junction and they are AMAZING!! We think William and Kate would like them very much!

There have been two birthdays in our class this week. Jessica and Stephanie we both 6! We enjoyed looking at their lovely presents and cards and we wished them a very happy birthday.

Today it is Red Nose Day and we are all very excited!! We are all looking VERY RED because we are all wearing red clothes and some of us are wearing BIG RED noses! At breaktime today we are having special cakes and biscuits which Amber and Matthew have made and we are really looking forward to eating them! Yum Yum!! Most importantly we have brought in a donation to help people who are not as lucky as we are.

We hope you all have a happy and funny day and that lots of money will be raised.

In Numeracy this week we have been learning about odd and even numbers and we investigated the number pattern.

In Literacy we are learning how to write stories so we have listened to different stories which had animals as characters.Soon we are going to write our own animal stories which we are looking forward to very much!! Mrs Fenton can’t wait to read them!!

Max would like to tell everyone that this week he celebrated his 7th birthday. On Thursday evening he went to McDonalds for his dinner and tomorrow some people are joining him at Stafford Ten Pin Bowling. Have a great time Max!!

Signing off until next week from Class One.

Hello from Class One

We have come back fresh from our half term holiday and are excited about  our new topic on animals. The first thing we did was make a mind map to give us some ideas about our work. In literacy we are learning how to use adjectives to make our writing interesting.

Year One has been learning how to count in tens and Year Two learning about hundreds to a thousand and we are getting rather good at it!

This week was Tye’s birthday and he was seven years old.  He brought his presents and cards in to show us.  We all wished him a very happy birthday.

Ideas from Maddy, Liv, Eleanor, Xavier and Tom.

This week in Numeracy the Pink and Blue Group have been learning about numbers to one thousand!

In Literacy we have been learning how to make our writing more interesting by adding adjectives.

We have had an enjoyable and exciting time painting desert scenes.Mrs Fenton was VERY pleased with our work and is going to display it in our classroom.

Happy half term to everyone!

Ideas from Tye, Georgia and Alex Cartmail

Hope you have had a good week.  We have had an interesting one keeping our own weather charts.  Every morning and afternoon we took the temperature outside and recorded it. We are all really good at using the thermometer. We also had to decide on our own weather symbols to use on the charts.

In Numeracy we have all been learning about money and the Year 2s have even learnt how to use the decimal point.

On Tuesday afternoon a teacher came from King Edward’s High School to  teach us how to play golf. We found it very enjoyable and exciting!

Ideas from Jess, Max, Molly and Maddy.

We hope you are all well and have had a good week. Our class has had a very busy and exciting time!

This week we have been learning how to carry out an investigation and how to keep a weather chart. Before we could use our chart we had to learn about weather symbols and how to use a thermometer. We have become very good at this!

On Thursday afternoon we played on our new outside adventure playground. The rolling log and the monkey bars are a bit tricky but we REALLY enjoyed ourselves!

John celebrated his 7th birthday on Thursday and he says it was very exciting.

We hope you all have a good week.Love from us all in Class One!
