Every Friday in Year One we have a Motor Skills session to help support our fine and gross motor skills. The children are becoming increasingly more confident whilst using the equipment to help strengthen their to muscles to support their physical development.
Last Thursday was a very exciting day in 3 Blue, as we were on the last chapter of our very exciting book ‘Stitch Head’. By Guy Bass. To help celebrate what has been such a great book we went to read it in the new outdoor classroom. As you can see from the pictures we all felt very honored to be one of the first classes in there.
Yesterday Hebburn Lakes had a visit from Reverand Ian who is from St John’s church. He talked to the children about powerful animals and then moved on to talk about parts of our body that are powerful. He then discussed how our tongue is so powerful because of what we say and the impact it can have. The children had lots of ideas about the words we could use. Some of the suggestions were: beautiful, gorgeous, I love you and stay positive.
This week we have been working really hard on our place value in maths. Today we have been doing flexible partitioning of numbers to 1000. Although this sounds really complicated, 3 Blue have been amazing and are always ready for the next challenge.
Today in RE, we explored why people visit Durham Cathedral. In the morning, we learned about who Saint Cuthbert was and why Durham Cathedral is important. Then, we looked at photographs of Durham Cathedral and drew detailed drawings. In the afternoon, we dressed up as monks and went on a pilgrimage around the school.
In LMTW, we created our own weapons to act out The Battle of Stamford Bridge.
We have had a lovely time today making Gruffalo footprint biscuits. The children did a great job measuring, scooping and mixing. They rolled and flattened the dough and added claws too. I hope they all enjoyed eating their biscuits.
at home!
