AUTUMN TERM 1 - PE will take place every week on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please ensure their full kit is kept in school on their peg. PE kits will be sent home at the end of term.

Diwali

One of our parents kindly joined us to help us understand about Diwali, the Festival of Light, which will be celebrated soon by Hindus and Sikhs. We learnt about the meaning of the festival and had the chance to decorate and make lanterns.

Geography

We have been learning about our school and our village. We used compass directions to help us find other school features and drew maps with keys of our outside area. We went for a walk around Radford Semele village to find human and physical features.

Traditional Tales

We have used familiar Traditional Tales to develop our English skills to build and write sentences. These stories have also allowed us to be creative, particularly with construction. We tried to make each of the Three Little Pigs' houses, mixed porridge for Goldilocks, and challenged ourselves to create tall beanstalks using different objects.

Teamwork, Exploration, Inclusion

We have been very fortunate with the weather, which has enabled us to use our outside area during Busy Time. We are being creative and working as teams to build a cinema, owl house and bug hotel. Our exploring has meant we have discovered a huge range of minibeasts, and our class expert helps us out by naming them and providing facts for us to learn.

Start of term

It has been wonderful getting to know the Year 1 children in this first week of term. We have begun some of our learning in English and maths and introduced our Autumn term theme 'Myself, My School and My Village'. We are developing our listening and following instruction skills further so that we are ready to learn, and we are loving exploring all the different equipment and resources during Busy Time. During PSHE we have already been sharing what we love about school and how we can show the school rules: Ready, Respect and Kind. What a great start!
