Sport Relief Challenge!
We've been taking part in fundraising for Sport Relief! We looked at how the money raised through sport relief is used to help children around the world. We also raise money by wearing non-uniform. We also did some extra sporting actvitities throughout the day to raise awareness of keeping fit.

In Class 2 we have revisited the skill of storytelling to help improve the quality of our story writing. We've been learning to tell Taffy's version of the famous Gingerbread Man story. Did you know the Gingerbread Man was from Grasmere? We have been working hard to use actions, different voices, rhymes and lots of detail to make our storytelling as exciting as possible.

Talk for Writing - Retelling the Gingerbread Man!
Autumn Term 1
This term we have worked hard learning our new Year 1 routine. We have all enjoyed learning about Jim and the Beanstalk and how plants grow.
We have been working very hard practising our handwriting. Now we are Year 1, we have to use approach strokes and remember to start our letters on the line.
We've travelled on the Polar Express!
It was the night before Christmas and we could hear sleigh bells ring. A conductor arrived and helped us on board the Polar Express! Lots of magical things happened on the Polar Express! Have a look!
All aboard the Polar Express!
Today we visited the North Pole and wrote about some of the things we could hear, taste, smell and see whilst we were there. We're very proud of handwriting and the hard work with our spelling!
Our visit to the harbour
Today, Class 2 went on an imaginary visit to the harbour. We saw big ships, saw seagulls in the sky and could see the blue of the sea.
