Happy New Year!

by Year One teacher on January 12, 2012

         We hope you all had a lovely Christmas. Thank you once more for all of the cards and gifts; they were much appreciated by all of us.

  The children have set their school targets for this term and they have their own very clear ideas of what they want to achieve.

     During the next few weeks we will be looking at familiar stories – Goldilocks and the Three Bears and The Three Little Pigs – so that we can think about the structure of a story and build the elements from which they are composed through drama and art. Then we will be working towards writing our own versions.

   This week we have been improving our calculation skills and looking at place value. During the next couple of weeks we will continue with this as well as working with pattern and 3D shape.

      Mr Hirst has signed up the school for the R.S.P.B. Big Bird Watch which begins on Monday and continues until the end of January. If anyone would like to come and do a bit of bird watching with small groups of children (it need only be for a short time) then we would be pleased to see you.
