What a great term we have had so far! It has been an amazing start to Year 1! Since coming back in September, the children have worked really hard on our 'Road to Recovery Curriculum.' We looked at lots of practical activities for maths and fine motor skills to help get us back in to our learning behaviours. The children really enjoyed looking at a range of art and jigsaw activities which eased us back in to school and helped us to discuss our experiences from lock down in a positive light. On week 5 we began looking at our current topic, 'Part of my World.' Looking at the local area and the history of our lives have been a priority during this time to really kick start our learning. The Year 1 team are disappointed we have not been able to take the children out of school and help them to explore their community, however if you get the opportunity to do this please do so! Our learning has quickly moved on to looking at healthy eating where we will be making fruit salads! I can speak on behalf of the teachers and the children when I say, we are all really enjoying learning about this and it has been a perfect way to start a strange year! Our class text will soon be 'Grandad's Secret Giant,' which is a beautiful story that we can't wait to share with the children. 

Hey Lions!

Hope you have all had a super duper weekend!

Thank you to everyone who has sent in pictures of their favourite memories so far!

Just a quick reminder that if you have a picture you want to share of your favourite memory, send it to lions@sandringham.school, then we can look at it together and stick it in your book!

Thanks,
Miss Blakemore x

On Monday we will be starting our new topic 'Part of my World.' This week we have been looking at timelines e.g. what could you do when you were a baby, toddler and now. To give children a deeper understanding of History and what makes us unique we will be looking further in to our History. To do this we will be sharing memories and stories from our life so far. Therefore, we are asking you this weekend to please discuss this with your child. This might be something they remember or a story you want to share with them, a family holiday, a memory from lockdown, the birth of a sibling, a party anything that is a memory for them! Please discuss this well with your child and send any information or pictures to your class email. The children will be sharing this with the class and doing some writing about this on Monday so the more knowledge they have the better!
