Class 1 - Spring 1 2022

We returned from our lovely Christmas break to see that the weather had started to change. We realised that we were now in the season of Winter. We talked about what we could see, feel and hear and what winter meant to us.

animals going to sleep - hibernating

migrating birds flying away to somewhere warm

Christmas - lots of presents

frost -shiny on our cars

no leaves on the trees

cold - I need my hat and scarf

snow - sledges and snow angels

hot chocolate - yum yum!

ice - hard and shiny

We made lots of snowflakes in the creative area. Look at our cutting skills and the beautiful sparkles.

fires - to keep us toasty

Winter Walk

This is an evergreen - it is forvever green.

This has no leaves anymore. The tree is sleeping and getting ready for spring.

We went on a Winter walk to see if we could spot some of these changes in our school grounds. It was very cold and started to hail. We loved trying to catch it on our tongue and hands.

It has gone - the ice has melted on my tongue.

Our Class Tree

On our walk we looked at our class Silver Birch and saw that it had lost all its leaves. We decided it must be a deciduous tree - a very tricky word we are trying hard to remember.

When we came back to class we used our observational skills to draw it. We used different types and thickness of pen to represent how the truck, branches and twigs changed in size.

PE - Dance

This half term we have been getting funky and groovy creating a dance based on the theme of 'Toys'. To start with we thought of some moves to represent how different toys move. Can you guess them from these short video clips?

Today we received a surprise present. We tried to work out what it could be and came up with lots of words to describe how it felt.

hard

light

smooth

not bendy

little

thick

It was a London Bus.

Where is London?

We decided to do some research and learn a little bit more about London. We used Google Earth and different maps to find out where it is located in the country and saw that it was a long way from Crosby. We now know that it is our Capital City and very large and busy.

We went on a virtual tour of London and visited some of its famous landmarks; Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament, London Eye, River Thames and The Tower of London. Look at some of our computer art, where we used the tools to create lines of different thickness and colour to draw the different features.

What Landmarks have we drawn?

In Class we started our new story - The Naughty Bus - a book all about the adventures of a cheeky London Bus. We shared some ideas about why the bus might be called 'naughty'.

It is making a mess.

It went through the beans.

It was going too fast.

Assembly

This week we launched our 'Living Streets - Walk to School WOW' campaign. The children were really engaged and enthusiastic about the idea of walking, cycling and scooting to school in the mornings. I look forward to giving out lots of special badges as they achieve the target.
