1M in the computer suite

The children in 1M certainly look as if they are enjoying themselves in the computer room.

They have learnt a lot this school year during their sessions in the ICT suite. They have produced some beautiful artwork using the painting programs, developed their keyboard skills and used a range of programs to help them with numeracy and literacy. Of course, they are having such fun that they don't always realise they are learning all the time!

1D become the best of friends!

In 1D we have spent a lot of time getting to know one another. We chose our best friend and drew a picture of them. We had to look closely at the colour of their skin, their eyes and their hair. We posed for our friends while they drew us and then switched places.

Next we carefully painted our portraits using the correct colours. Then we took pictures with our friends and talked about why we like spending time with one another.

Everyone in 1D are getting on well.

1M make some class rules

The children in 1M thought about the rules we need to make our class a happy, learning environment. We decided that we need to listen carefully to one another and always do our best. We also want to be kind to one another, share toys fairly and always tell an adult when we are upset or hurt. So far, the rules are working and 1M is a great place to learn!

Year 1 have been busy with PE activities this half term. Look at us learning tennis and creating balances in gymnastics!!

Making masks

Year One have had lots of fun learning about recycling this year. The Redbridge Recycling Team spent a day in school showing us how to use recycled materials to make beautiful masks. Look at the finished results!

Welcome to year one!

Year One children have settled into their new classes - they have obviously grown up a lot during the summer holidays. This term we are learning all about ourselves and so far we have sung songs about the parts of our bodies and enjoyed lots of activities using the five senses. We are looking forward to seeing the animals from Wellgate Farm, going to St. Paul's Church for Harvest and a drama morning with an expert from the drama centre.

We're sure that the children agree that year one is great!

Fairy tale rooms

The children in Year One were set the homework task of designing a room for a fairytale character. There was a great variety: the Three Bears' Cottage, Cinderella's bedroom, Little Red Hen's kitchen and many more. As part of their design and technology lessons, they then worked in pairs to create the rooms using recycled materials and fabrics. They are very proud of their work, as these photos show!
