Health week in Year 1

Year 1 have had an amazing week learning all about keeping healthy. We have learnt all about keeping our bodies healthy by eating well and exercising ofte,  but also how to look after our teeth and our minds.

Year 1 and Year 2 joined together for some activities which we all really enjoyed! We also hosted a parent workshop all about health. We all worked so hard and received certificates to show how fantastic we are!

 

St. Clement’s 1:1 Mentoring – Parent Voice

Just some feedback on the extra friendship sessions that were being conducted with my children.  I have found that this is really helped them in terms of social skills, how to develop and maintain a friendship properly in school time.  The activities completed in the session hake them think about how to behave and deal with situations and more importantly think before acting!

Thanks, Mum

*******************

My child has had mentoring sessions to cover how to interact with others both at home and in school.  They have helped with behaviour at home and interactions with her younger sibling. It has helped in school as well as in the classroom she is calmer, and allows the teacher time to deal with arising situations.

1:1 sessions have helped improve our child’s overall attitude towards others especially at home.  We are thankful for the time spent talking with her and giving her techniques that seem to be helping.

Jigsaw – Year 1

Changing me
Shared ‘The jigsaw charter’ with the children to reinforce how we work together.
Calm me
At the beginning of every jigsaw lesson we help our minds calm down so that we are ready to learn.
Shared the picture cards with children: baby lying down, a baby crawling, a toddler walking, a five year old running, a ten year old skipping. In groups, I asked the children to place them in sequence. I reinforced the learning that as we physically grow we also do more things.
On Flipchart, I drew the stem and on centre of a flower. Added one petal and stick the first picture (baby) into it. Drew the second petal and asked the children which picture should go in next (baby crawling). Continued until the flower is complete, helping children to understand that every time we learn something new we add a little bit onto ourselves, like adding a petal to a flower.

Children stock heir baby photos into their jigsaw journal and around it they drew some of the ways they have changed since they were a baby. Some of the children shared these with the class.
Asked children to stand and arrange themselves in a row from the tallest to the shortest. What does this show us? We all grow at different rates.

Exploring materials in Year 1

In Year 1, we have been exploring different materials and their properties. The superheroes needed our help and Year 1 came to the rescue! Superman needed a waterproof cape and Batman needed a new batcave. Year 1 have been scientist predicting, investigating and recording their findings.

Carrying on from last week children had to stand and arrange themselves in a row from the tallest to the shortest. What does this show us? We all grow at different rates. Explained that in the next lesson we are going to look at some other important differences in the way we grow.
We did circle time and shared more baby pictures and talked about how much we have changed since being a baby to now.

Sports day!

Year 1 really enjoyed sports day! We took part in a range of activities such as archery, football, netball and rounders. We also took part in an assault course which we all loved! We all received gold medals because we are all winners!

children siting in a circle, Jigsaw jack holds up a picture of me as a baby. Children then had to help Jigsaw jack to work out who this is? Why is it so difficult to tell? I then invited a child to carefully choose a baby photo from the box.  I ask the children to to help Jigsaw Jack to work out who is in the photo, whose baby photo is this? How do we know? Is it difficult to work out?
In pairs, children talk about the ways they can think of that they have changed since they were babies. Shared round the circle the ideas they have come up with.
