On Thursday last week, year 1 and 2 spent the day exploring the season of summer. At the end if the day they recieved a very special letter. Who was it from?

Yesterday afternoon we spent outside. We planted lots of seeds in different pots and wrote labels for them. We know that they need to be watered everyday for them to grow now. These will be sold out our garden centre at the end of half term! Can’t wait to see you there.

Today Year 1 role played and interviewed the women who found Jesus’ empty tomb. What fun we had!

Year 1 and 2 received an email yesterday explaining that Gregory Greenfinger’s Garden centre had been broken into. The plants had been stolen as well as many things being damaged. The children agreed to raise money for Gregory to fix his garden centre. The children want to plant seeds and grow different types of plants to sell. They will be holding a garden centre open afternoon at the end of half term, so watch this space!

After designing islands and planning which animals would live their, Year 1 and 2 needed to learn more about the animals. What better place to learn about them than the zoo? We spent the day at Dudley Zoo learning about the animals and where their natural habitat is. We had a wonderful day exploring but we were all exhausted afterwards. This has made us all even more excited to continue to learn about animals on islands.

After counting the animals, Year 1 came across a problem. A zoo keeper sent a message to tell us that the animal food from the zoo was all a mess and needed to be in order. The children counted the good and put them in order of number from smallest to largest.

They were are a great help for the zoo keeper!

During multifath week, Year 1 studied the Hindu faith and even visited the temple.

What did you learn at the temple?

The school nurse came to me to visit us to teach us how to clean our teeth. We know that we should be brushing for two minutes twice a day. We should make circles on our teeth the brush and not push too hard.

After investigating thick and thin materials yesterday we decided to design some costumes for the toys to keep them safe in Space.

What fun we had!

To help to make the reading corner more colourful, the children have been exploring materials to create space collages. They have turned out beautifully! The children will also use them to make their own CBeebies Bedtime Story at the end of this half term.
