Spring Term - Book Week Paired Reading

Everyone at St Mary's has been taking part and enjoying Book Week this week, and the children in Year 1 had a very special opportunity to do some paired reading with the older children in Year 5. This was a wonderful chance for the children in both year groups to read and listen to each other while reading some of their favourite books.

Spring Term - 1L: A Shoe Designer Appears!

This term we have been finding out how we can make parts of a picture move. We've learnt how to use a slider, lever and wheel mechanism. This week we are going to design a page for a book which has a moving part.

We are lucky enough to have one of the mums in 1L who is a shoe designer. On Wednesday, she came in to talk to the class about how she designs a shoe. She showed us her sketches or designs she had made for shoes and we got to look at lots of samples, including the actual shoes she had designed.

Thank you, mum! There are lots of us now thinking we might like to become shoe designers!

Question: can anyone remember the mystery material in a shoe? And why it is needed?  

Spring Term - 1L: Sitting on the carpet

The children in 1L are sitting on the carpet. They are learning lots of fun things.

Spring Term - 1L: Switch Off Day

On Friday 13th January 2017 the class wore something green for Switch Off Day.  We raised £24 in 1L which will go to WaterAid, a charity which works to provide clean water in countries where they don't have access to clean water.  Didn't we look great!  ​During the morning we found out why we have a Switch Off Day each year.  The children remembered to turn off the lights in the classroom when we didn't need them on and even reminded Miss Wilson to switch off the interactive whiteboard when it wasn't being used.  Well done everyone!  

Spring Term - 1R: Our New Carpets

Year 1 have got brand new carpets in their classrooms. Our wonderful PTA bought them for the children to replace their old carpets. Now all the children can sit comfortably on them with plenty of space. The children would like to say a massive THANK YOU to our PTA. They really like their new carpets!

Autumn Term - 1R: Using Numicon in our Mathematics lesson!
