CLASS 1

We have been very busy.

In P.E. we have enjoyed country dancing.

We have also been using the large climbing apparatus.

We have been learning how to control our bodies so that we can run faster.

We have been learning how to throw different P.E. equipment.

We have been using the large parachute.

We have been thinking about the weather. We used watering cans and umbrellas to listen to the sounds that the water made.

We made clay snowmen.

We made our home corner into an igloo.

We have been learning how to use a range of computer programmes and how to control programmable toys such as these Bee Bots.

We have been enjoying yoga lessons after school.

We have been learning about Space. We have been using lots of different construction equipment to make rockets, shuttles, launch pads and planets.

We have been writing our own space adventures.

We have had new doors fitted in our classroom. When the weather is nice we can open them up and it is like having one large classroom. We have been doing lots of fun activities outside.

We have been also learning about India. We were lucky enough to have two visitors who spoke to the children about what it is like living in India. They learnt about Indian food, landmarks, clothing and culture.

We have been learning about where our food comes from. We looked at examples of fruit that had come from other countries and we then used it to make a delicious fruit salad.

The children have been looking closely at plants and flowers and making some observational paintings.

We have had some special experiences organised to help celebrate our school’s 200th anniversary. The Bishop of Bath and Wells visited our school.

An RAF rescue helicopter flew over our school and hovered over our field. It was very noisy but we all loved it!

The Archdeacon of Taunton came and blessed our new gates.

We spent a week learning about what life was like during Victorian times. We went to a Victorian school and we sat at tables that were very different to the tables that we have in our classroom. The boys and girls had many lessons separately. The girls practised their handwriting and made lavender bags. The boys had a science lesson and made candles. They even sat separately when eating their lunches and at playtime.
