Key Stage One Reminders
PE is on a Thursday.
Fruit is available free of charge daily. Toast and milk are available for the half term via Parent Pay.
Remember you can change your reading book every day! Show your reading record to your teacher in a morning when you come in.
Your child will have a 'Reading Reward Card' in their reading record. Please read with your child at home each night. If you sign your child's record (they don't have to change their book) 5 times in one week they will receive one stamp. When they have achieved 4 stamps your child will be given a reward in school. If you are unsure please speak to a member of the team. Thank you for your continued support and happy reading!

Information Briefings
Thank you to those parents and carers who attended the Reading Briefing on 24th September. The slides can be found here.
Autumn One
We have loved seeing everyone back in school looking super smart in their uniforms after the summer break.

Geography
Our Country
We have been naming and locating the four different countries of the United Kingdom and the surrounding seas. The children had to name, locate and identify the capital city for each one.
Art
Sculpture
The children had to investigate how rolling paper can create 3D structures, then they designed a simple sculpture using paper cylinders. We moved onto manipulate paper to create a desired effect, such as folding, twisting, rolling, etc to create a 3D structure. We used these different techniques to replicate the 'Tree of Life' created by Marco Balich.
Computing
Online Safety
We learnt about what the internet is and how it can be used. We recognised the internet may affect your mood or emotions and how it can upset others. We then identified which information is appropriate to share and post online and which is not.
Science
Materials
Music
Keeping the pulse
Children had to clap the rhythm of their names in time with the pulse, sway or tap along to the beat, and sing rhythms in sync with the pulse. The children copied rhythms based on word patterns using instruments, kept a steady pulse whilst playing, and followed instructions during their performances.
Religion
Creation and Covenant
The children have encountered Bible texts where God creates and calls people. They are exploring the belief that everything come from God through texts of the Book of Genesis and develop reflective thoughts of the Psalms. They have heard accounts of God's love for people expressed in the covenants (promises) found in the Old Testament.
