Welcome to Class 1

World Book Day
What an amazing day Class 1 had today on world book day! It was lovely to see that all of the children had made the effort to come to school dressed as their favourite story book characters.
World book day gives the children an amazing opportunity to retell their favourite stories, become their favourite character for the day and become familiar with different story books. We had lots and lots of different role-play opportunities and all of the children really did thrive in representing their characters thoughts and feelings through story telling.

Our visit from a vet
Class 1 thoroughly enjoyed our 'Pet' topic! We had lots of fun running our own vets in the role-play area. We looked after lots of poorly animals and made sure that they were fit and healthy before we sent them home with their owners.
We also had our very own 'Pet Shop' where we sold and brought different pets and different things needed to look after our pets. This gave us lots of opportunities to begin handling money. A visit from a Vet Nurse finished our topic off nicely. The children were keen to learn about the day in the life of a vet. With the help of 'Alfie the dog' the children had the first-hand experience of learning how to bandage up an injury and how to put a neck collar on. They even got to listen to each others heartbeat using a stethoscope! |
The Queen
To celebrate the Queen becoming the longest reigning monarch on Wednesday 9th September, the children in Class 1 attended Mrs Varley's royal assembly.They learnt lots of interesting facts all about the Queen and her life. We also made our own crowns and became a class of Kings and Queens for the day.
Terrific Texture
As with all of the different learning areas in the classroom, Class 1 have thoroughly enjoyed exploring the creative table. The
children have enjoyed accessing and using the different materials independently. We have experimented with lots of different materials and techniques to create this super Elmer display; each textured square represents each child in our class.

Wow! What a fantastic first few weeks of school the children in Class 1 have had! I would like to say a huge thank you to all of the children and their parents for making such fantastic 'all about me' boxes to help us really get to know the children.
