Tuesday

We had a lovely day today. First we did some counting with Longman Maths Counting Fish. Beth was great and got all her answers right. When this was complete we did our own fish and ….well we need to finish this tomorrow. We had a little break with our “Tuesday whatever the Weather Walk”.

After play we had a playground rhymes lesson but Mr Rafferty did tell us about his days in primary school  in Ormskirk (it was when St Anne’s was in Hants Lane) and Mrs Beeston told us about Green Park when she was little and Mr Dunbar told us about Green Park when he was little and Mrs Cassidy told us………….no she didn’t …………she couldn’t remember that far back!

We finished our ryhmes with skipping with a big rope on the playground. We have to practice our ryhmes.

In the afternoon we did ICT with a program called 2Simple City. It is great!

We got out on time! What a lovely day!

Today we……..

Today we had an assembly about our work with Elmer the Elephant. Then we did some catching and throwing with beanbags and balls. After this we did ordering numbers with some help from the number crew (episode 10 if its on http://www.teachers.tv/)

After lunch we did Sounds~Write, Miss Polly had a Dolly – reading and reciting – writing and Guided Reading and finally the next bit of The Enormous Crocodile. Bethany gave out her birthday sweets and finally we went home. Oh and OFSTED were here as well.

Show racism the red card

We used the story of Elmer the patchwork elephant to show how being different can upset people (and elephants!). We discussed what made us worried or upset.

As part of a national competition we all did some work about Elmer on a computer programm call 2Publish.  

The Y1 winners were presented with a certificate and prize today in assembly, they were Ryan and Reece who worked together and Abigail  A very well done.  Mr and Mrs Wells who help us fundraise for Patmo in Africa, presented their certificate, and came to tell us about Fridays big fund raiser!!!   It was very difficult to choose a winner as all the pictures were different and very interesting.

A busy week so far!

Unfortunately I have still not sorted out my digital camera which is a bit of a nuisance because our colour sports day went really well with lots of activities. Thanks for the multi-loured clothes. Never mind once I get in touch with Sony they should sort it out.

I have really been impressed with out writing and reading this week. We have used www.literactive.com  (free registration) for stories and then some writing of the words we have read. Elliot (although he wasn’t the only one) started on Monday and as the week progressed produced better and better work. Keep it up everyone.

Mr May leaves our school on Friday after completing his teaching practice. He has enjoyed working at Green Park and has found the challenge of his first Y1 class interesting and illuminating. He will be hosting the Celebration Assembly on Friday.

On Thursday we will try and get our symmetrical butterflies done. Fingers crossed!

Try these games

Try these games…………they are great. I had a go at the aphabet game but could only get to S before the time ran out. Can you beat this?

Acorn Farm

Acorn Farm came to visit us today. There will be some photographs but as my camera’s battery has gone a bit bananas since coming back from Madrid I have to use my phone camera which means I don’t have the right cable in school so they will be there later on!

Jenny from Oz

Jenny came back from Perth in Australia to visit us on Friday. It was really nice to see her and she joined in with all our activities. I think tonight there is a bit of a do at the Wacky Warehouse. Have a lovely time………we hope its not too cold! By the way Jenny have you seen Sydney Bear. He does send photos to show us what it is like in Australia.
