Year 1 Autumn 1- What are we learning about this half term

 

Finance and Personnel Governors Involvement

Finance and Personnel Governors met on Wednesday 16th July. They concluded their focus on PE by looking at the planning format and then talking to a group of Year 4 – 6 children about the offer. They were happy to hear the children talk so positively about the PE offer at Newdale.

Governors spent time looking at the finances for the school and nursery. They recognised the difficult balance between securing enough staff to support higher than usual numbers of special educational needs, against the income the school receives. They understand that systems across the setting will undoubtedly have to change in order to accommodate this need.

Wednesday Wheelie Day

As we will be having Wheelie day as part of our Year 1 Smart Cup Treat. There will not be Forest School. Many thanks Year 1

Year 1 Stem Day

Just a gentle reminder to say please can the children bring in a piece of recycling (box, tin, jar etc) that we can use to make a musical instrument tomorrow.

Many thanks The Year 1 Team

Year 1 Stem Day

As part of stem day on Tuesday 15th July, Year 1 are going to be making their own musical instruments. Please can we ask that children each bring in one piece of recycling and that is has your child’s name on it.  Here are a few examples:

  •  A small cardboard box( tissue boxes are ideal)
  • paper plate/ paper bowl
  • a small plastic bottle
  • a small jar
  • a tin can( with no sharp edges)

Please see below a few examples of the instruments we may make

Many thanks

French Day

We had lots of fun on Friday for French day.

We all came to school dressed in blue, white and red like the French flag.

We used cotton buds to create our own painting of the Eiffel Tower inspired by a French artist.

We took part in some fun French dancing.

And we tried some different French foods.

We all had lots of fun and learnt lots of interesting facts about France.
