Year One Blog

I believe you had a great time this afternoon and were very well behaved and really enjoyed the show…did Lucas and Harry really get up on the stage!!!???

Miss Newham said you were great and so did Mr Hewer.

I had a nice evening tonight. Mrs Cassidy, Miss Gibson and Mrs Brankn all came to see me and just after they went Mr Hewer arrived. It was good to see them all.

Hello Mr Rafferty it is Y1 here. Happy New Year and we hope you are feeling a bit better. We are missing you lots and hope you are back with us soon. When you come back we are looking forward to giving you lots of hugs! We are working hard for Mrs Power and doing lots of writing & counting and we have met Harriet Half. Thank you for the present you gave us for christmas. Keep resting and we will see you soon lots of love Y1

P.S we hope you had a nice christmas!

Hi! I hope you are looking after the big people in Y1 and you are having a nice time. My kidney infection turned out not to be a kidney infection but something a bit yackier but I’m feeling lots better now thanks to the excellent doctors and nurses at Southport hospital and Mrs Rafferty (and the little Raffertys).

I will have to go and see my friends at the hospital soonish but that’s for another day.

Have a lovely time at the pantomine and make sure that you keep an eye out for the baddies!

……with all the presents and messages that I had when I got home from my little holiday in Southport. They were all very much appreciated and helped make Christmas time really nice. Thank you to everyone.

I had to laugh a little bit (although it did hurt my sides!) when I read http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drilldown/N162539081215-1609.htm

What do you think?

Hello Y1. Sorry I can’t be in today but I’ve had a nasty kidney infection (which also meant I couldn’t go and watch Liverpool on Saturday!).

I hope Miss Newham is letting the baby Jesus have some peace and you are trying hard with your carols. 

I hope to see you very soon.

Mr Rafferty

Oh and well done Grace for being Champion Child, your singing is beautiful and you are a great person to have in our class. I will do your photograph and put it on the blog when I get back. 

The model of the stable in Bethlehem that we have in our class has Baby Jesus in his crib. But Miss Newham sneaked into our class and put the baby Jesus in the tree! The next day He appeared in the chimney of the stable. What is happening? I thnk Miss Newham is going to lose some Teachers’ Golden Time this week! We can’t tell you about the note on yellow paper that appeared in our class after the Baby Jesus disappeared!!!

Apologies to famous George for not getting his Champion Child picture on earlier. I was away to sunny Soham at the weekend and after being abducted by aliens on the way back I didn’t get chance to see a computer until tonight. So very well done George and keep up the good work.

We made the longest paper chain in the world today. It stretches from the window in Y1 to the edge of Reception! We also had some more beautiful home made decorations brought in to make our class look even more christmassy (a picture of the Tinsel Monster will appear soon!)

This afternoon we watched the Juniors production of The Pied Piper of Hamelin and we thought it was great!

On Friday we are going to start logging in (on our own) to Knowledge Box. Knowledge Box is a great educational IT resource that we use across the curriculum for resources, videos, activities, and music. It also has the excellent facility to become a way of teaching about message boards and (sort of) emailing that is safe and secure and fun. It is the message board and emailing (sort of) that we are doing tomorrow.

If you would like to find out a bit more about Knowedge Box go to http://knowledgebox.wordpress.com/

They use wordpress blogging…just like us!
