Exploring Chinese New Year through our Senses!
This week in Science we have been exploring Chinese New Year through our senses. We used all of our five senses to explore how chinese people celebrate the start of their new year. We have been using our taste buds to try some yummy noodles and prawn crackers and our ears to listen to a Chinese celebration on the ipads. We worked in our groups to think of lots of adjectives to describe what we were smelling, tasting, touching, hearing and seeing.

Year 1 PHSE – Feelings
Our Senses!
In Science, we have been learning about our bodies and our senses. We know that there are five senses: hear, smell, see, touch and taste. We have been working in our groups to sort pictures into the senses that we use. We also thought about activities that we do at school and drew them into the sense that we use.
Next week, we are going to use our senses to explore different food, yum, yum!
Supertato!
This week Year 1 have been looking at the story ‘Supertato’. We have been busy learning the story off by heart, re-telling the story to our friends, and becoming the characters. We now know the story off by heart and have written the story using our clever sentence writing. In art, we made a design of Supertato with a brand new cape and mask. After we created our design we made our very own Supertato!
Year 1 PHSE – 19.01.17
In PHSE this week we talked about Rory and Jasmines abilities, interests and what they are learning to do.
Children had to think of the non-curriculum based things they are learning to do and feeling proud of what they are learning to do. Discussion then lead to their likes and dislikes.
Year 1’s Class Assembly
Today, Year 1 performed their class assembly to the whole school and to the parents. The assembly was about Noah’s Ark and the special promise that God made to the world. The narrators and the children with speaking parts spoke loudly and beautifully for everyone to hear. All the children tried really hard and all the teachers are very proud of them!
Well done Year 1!

Rory and Jasmine meet Dot Com.
In PHSE this week we did circle time and talked about the characters jasmine and Rory and asked the children to describe which one is Rory and which one is jasmine. (This provides an opportunity to talk about the fact it doesn’t matter if you’re girl or a boy, you can choose what you like and dislike).
Children had to introduce themselves, say how old they are, who they live with and what they think they are good at. Children then had to draw a picture of themselves and why they are special.
