The children have also be learning about the past and present by the seaside in the 1920s, 1970s and today, along with looking at similarities and differences.

Dear parents,

This week, year 1 focused on counting on from 10 to 20. The children used numicon and other manipulatives to help with their learning.  Along with, watching a puppet show and researching what materials are used to make a puppet. We discussed the materials as a class and the children then drew a chosen puppet and labelled what materials they think were used to make it. In addition, we began to practice making hand puppets using paper and even managed to do a short puppet show! which the children loved and we cannot wait to create our final ones to do a puppet performance. 🙂

Dear Parents,

This week, we focused on why the church is important, what we must do when entering the church and how a church is God’s house. The children were able to recognise the importance of being respectful when entering the church and how we as people are what make a church not just the building. We also individually voted for the fairy tale our class will be focusing on for the remainder of the term. The children started to look at and begin to plan their own writing for their fairy tale which will be continued next week. Along with a fun day out trip to Shrek adventures 🙂
