Y1 ‘Pirate Day’ Monday 27th March 2023 -See below for info…
1FO’N Golden Ticket Reward Thursday 16th March 2023 – Mufti/Movie/Popcorn
This week, in maths, the children continued to enjoy practical investigations around measuring, using vocabulary such as tall/taller/tallest short/shorter/shortest, long, longer, longest.
Our big focus this week was our DT topic – exploring mechanisms to make a moving story book. We have made a good start on our new project!
We enjoyed learning some actions to a ‘Pirate Dance’ on Tuesday afternoon.
In history, we have been finding out about famous pirates and explorers, such as Anne Bonny, Sir Francis Drake and Christopher Columbus.
The children were very excited to go out to play in the middle of the snowstorm on Thursday. It was still a bit snowy, with lots of big puddles on the playground, so we didn’t go out for our ‘tri golf’ but enjoyed a ‘Cosmic Popcorn Pirate ‘ story instead, after a very busy DT afternoon!
After a snowy start on Friday, the sun shone for us in the afternoon and we enjoyed spending time with our Y5 buddies, observing the seasonal changes around our play areas. A lovely end to a busy week!
Information for Y1 Pirate Day
The children come to school dressed as pirates, e.g. stripey top, rolled up trousers, bandana etc.. no need to buy a special costume, as both classes have lots of dressing up clothes/accessories to borrow, please just ask staff. Please leave all weapons at home! We plan some fun pirate themed activities on the day…no spoilers! It is one of our highlights of the year!
Have a lovely weekend.
