Ever wondered what it would be like to sit on a polar bear’s lap? Or ride on its back? Have you ever tried to give a bear a bath? Or clear up its poo?! Looking after a bear is exhausting stuff.
One night when she’s fast asleep, an enormous snowy white bear climbs into Tilly’s bedroom. It has a big black tongue and a yawn as big as your head. But Tilly’s not scared.
The Bear is a heart-warming and humorous wintry tale.
Year 1 had a fantastic time preparing and tasting food for their end of topic party! The music was playing throughout the day and prizes were given to children who won the party games.
Even the teachers joined in with the dancing!
Year 1 have spent the afternoon exploring our sense of taste. We had lots of fun trying new foods!

Well done to 1S who have been working really hard to learn the story of The Little Red Hen with actions!
1S have been working hard to learn the five senses of the human body. So far we have been experimenting with games to test our eyesight and went on a sound hunt around the school. Over the next few weeks we will learn about the senses of touch, smell and taste.
As part of Remembrance Day Year 1 had a two minute silence to remember people who have died in the war. We then used our Art skills and creative power to creat a poppy wreath using tissue paper and card.
Well done to all the children who have settled into Year 1 this half term, you have all worked really hard.
To keep you busy over the half term you can do the follow things:
– Use BugClub! Your password is inside your reading journal.
– Take a trip to the library and complete your reading challenge sheet.
– Read your guided reading book and phonics book.
– Don’t forget your homework.
We hope you have an enjoyable week off school and come back ready to learn on Tuesday 1st November.
This week 1S have been learning about the importance of hand washing. To demonstrate how germs can easily spread we rubbed glitter into our hands and touched objects around the classroom. To kill the germs on our hands we followed the simple steps below:
1. First, turn on the tap and wet your hands.
2. Next, put soap on your hands and rub together with water making sure you rub between your fingers and under your nails.
3. Then, wash the soap off your hands with water.
4. Finally, dry your hands.
1S has a fantastic time at forest school today.
After learning about the changes that happen to trees and leaves at this time of year we used our Art skills to use wax crayons to create leaf rubbings to help us see the patterns on the leaves, we used paint to create leaf prints and created an animal collage.
1S have been busy this week doing their Art work.
After our visit to Twycross Zoo we used the animals we saw to help us create our favourite animals using clay. We looked at different ways to shape and Jon the clay.
Once the clay is dry we will paint our animals.
