Another week of hard work in Year 1a! 🙂

We are, again, so proud of all of the hard work that the pupils in Year 1 have been doing this week. As it has been outdoor learning week this week, we decided to take our Art lesson outside. We created some wonderful pictures with things we could find in nature. We finished our work on Jack and the Beanstalk this week by making our very own finger puppets. We used our puppets to tell the story in great detail! 🙂

Dear Parent/Carer,

We hope you and your families are well and continuing to cope during these stressful times.

In line with government advice, we are trying very hard to plan what happens at Newdale between now and the end of the academic year.

In order for us to move forward with this planning, we need to have firm numbers for the current year groups we have invited back in.

If you have a child or children currently attending in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and / or Year 6 and you plan on continuing to send them in, you need do nothing at all.

If you have children in the above year groups and you plan on removing them for any reason, then please let the office know.

If you have children in these year groups who are currently not attending school, but you would like them to begin attending, we need you to let us know by noon on Monday. Please note that after this deadline we will be unable to accept more children into these year groups.

We will then have firm figures as to who will attend between now and the end of the year. This will allow us to look at the space and staffing we have available as we progress through the rest of the term.

Many thanks for your ongoing support and patience.

Miss Cook

Headteacher

Do you like our outdoor artwork?

Today we have been making pictures using things we found outside.

This is a great activity you could try at home.  Simply collect things from nature when you go on a walk and then create a picture when you get home. We would love to see your creations, you could upload a photo to the Year 1 homework blog!

Feeding the birds in Year 1 birds 🐦 🐦 🐦

We have been a reading a story all about nocturnal animals. One of the main characters was an owl. We decided to help out the birds that live at Newdale by making some bird feeders. We hung them out in Forest School and waited for the birds to arrive. Some of the boys worked hard to create a runway for the birds to land on. Tomorrow, we are going to write instructions to teach other people how to make them.

Bird feeders!

We had a great time making bird feeders today.  Afterwards we put them around the school site so we can look out for birds having a snack.

Tomorrow in Literacy we will be writing instructions about how we made them.
