Class 1 had a very exciting afternoon yesterday, we went on a flower hunt to Redcross Gardens! Children spotted many different types of flowers and plants, such as daffodils, roses, sunflowers and some peppermint herbs! We are learning all about plants and flowers in Science this half term and the cress and sunflowers we planted are doing very well!

Please practice our song ‘I love the flowers’. This is the backing track we will be using, singing starts from 0.11 seconds.

I love the flowers,
I love the daffodils,
I love the mountains,
I love the rolling hills,
I love the fireside
When all the lights are low,

Boom de ah ra boom de ah ra
Boom de ah ra boom.

I love the ocean,
I love the great big waves,
I love the starfish,
I love the ship that sails,
I love the moonlight
When the sun sinks low,

Boom de ah ra boom de ah ra
Boom de ah ra boom.

I love the flowers,
I love the daffodils,
I love the mountains,
I love the rolling hills,
I love the fireside
When all the lights are low,

Boom de ah ra boom de ah ra
Boom de ah ra boom.
Boom de ah ra boom de ah ra
Boom de ah ra boo

Class 1 have been working extremely hard on their phonics recently. This is in preparation for the Phonics Screening Check in June. We have been working on split digraphs and practicing finding different sounds in words so we can read them correctly. Keep up the great phonics work Class 1!

Stars of the week : Henry and Aviva

This week in Science, we have started some planting! We grew some cress seeds using cotton wool and a little bit of water. We carefully placed the seeds inside the cup, poured a little water on, then put them by the windowsill. We spoke about the different things which all plants need to grow. Class 1 are very excited to observe the changes of the cress, then in a couple of weeks we will be planting some sunflowers!

Welcome back! Class 1 have made a great start to the summer term. Children are enjoying lots of our new units of work, including plants in Science, map skills in Geography and learning about Claude Monet in Art. Children were very proud of their work from last half term, some of which went on display in the Key Stage One corridor. This is our lovely display below, big thank  you to Margaret for making it so beautiful!

Stars of the Week: All of Class 1!
