ST FRANCIS

email - year1@stpetersrc.rochdale.sch.uk

Welcome to Year 1 

My name is Miss Barrett and I am the Year 1 class teacher for this academic year. We are very lucky to have Mrs Millward as our class teaching assistant!

We fully understand that the children have been out of school for many months and may be reluctant to return. However, we will be here to try and make the transition from reception to year one a smooth and happy one. 

We  are both looking forward to getting to know your child over the course of the year. 

Miss Barrett + Mrs Millward 

SUMMER TERM 1

13.04.2021

Good Morning!

Please could all parents check at home for any PE kit items that were brought home before the Easter holidays and if you find any that don't  belong to your child please can they be returned to school. We have had a number of children missing items of their PE kit.

We also have a number of PE jackets/ hoodies in school that have no names in them so if your child is missing one please let me know and I will do my best to return the correct one to you.

I know that lots of the children in the class have their names in all items of clothing. However after yesterday's PE session we discovered that lots of items of uniform and PE kit didn't have names in them. We do our best to keep the children's items together but as I am sure you can understand that with the children being young items do get mixed up. Please ensure that all items of clothing - uniform and PE Kit have your child's name in so if mix ups happen we can easily return items to the correct child. If you feel that your child's PE kit does not have your child's name on all items please let me know and we can arrange for your child's PE kit to be sent home at the end of this week for it to be done.

Thank you for your continued support.

Miss Barrett + Mrs Millward

FOREST SCHOOL

It was fantastic to finally get to see the children in their waterproofs outside getting messy again after such a long time away. The children had a fantastic time experimenting with colour mixing and mark making and as you can see from the photos they all had a fabulous time getting covered in paint!

Welcome back! We are really looking forward to seeing you all and welcoming you back in to school. 

This term homework will be set on our online learning platforms so please login each week to complete your assignments. If you need a new copy of your login details please email me and I will send a copy to you.

Toasting Marshmallows

Today we had so much fun toasting marshmallows. We put on our waterproofs and ventured outside for some fun. We had to listen very carefully to all of the rules to keep us safe around the fire. We loved toasting our very own marshmallows and loved it even more when we ate them. They were yummy!

Miss Barrett and Mrs Millward were so proud of us all for being so sensible around the fire and when we were toasting our marshmallows. We can't wait to do this again!

Special visitor from the North Pole.

We have a special visitor in class at the minute all the way from the North Pole. We love to see what he gets up to in our classroom. We enjoy looking for him in the mornings. Keep coming back to have a look what he gets up to!

Remembrance Day

Today we had a Remembrance service outside. We said a prayer for those that fought/ lost their lives in the war. We wrote prayers and hung them from the tree and added the poppies that we had made to the grass around the tree. We did our two minutes silence together.

Forest school

This week in forest school we have had so much fun. We went outside and collected lots of sticks and used them to create different shapes, we rolled down the hill and threw and kicked leaves in the air. It was so much fun.

In November We Remember

 November is the month of the Holy souls. During November we remember people who are now in heaven, including soldiers who have died during wars. We have created some lovely poppy art work we used oil pastels to create on piece and buttons and art straws to create another piece. We think that all the soldiers that fought in the war were very brave so we designed a medal for them. 

Forest school

We have really enjoyed being back at school this week and taking part in our forest school sessions again. Today we went on a hunt to see how many different signs of Autumn we could find. We found lots of leaves on the ground, mushrooms and berries. We had lots of fun walking through the thick grass and rolling down the hill.

Shape.

In Maths we have been looking at shape. We have sorted shapes, played shape bingo, been on shape hunts and created pictures using shapes.

Circus skills

Today we had a go at plate spinning. We found it a little tricky to start with but once we concentrated we had lots of fun spinning plates, some of us could even walk around the playground while spinning plates.

Tiger Sketch

This term we are learning all about animals so today we had a go at watching a step by step video on how to draw a tigers face. We watched each step carefully before Miss Barrett modelled it to us on the board and then we had a go at it in our sketchbook, one step at a time. We found some of the steps a little bit tricky but we didn't give up and we think that you will be very impressed with our finished sketches. We were all very proud of ourselves.

Baptism

We have been learning all about Baptism and how it welcomes us into God's family. We have labelled a picture of the people we will see at a Baptism. Made Baptism cards and had a go at acting out our very own Baptism. One of the children in the class kindly brought in her Baptism gown and a selection of special memories from her Baptism to share with the class.

AUTUMN TERM 1 

I would just like to say a huge welcome back to you all. It was so lovely to welcome all of the children into class yesterday. It was completely understandable that some children returned to school yesterday feeling a little bit worried and nervous but please be reassured that the children did settle well and enjoyed seeing their friends again and exploring the classroom. 

The children did a fabulous job settling in and following new routines. Myself and Mrs Millward were very impressed with how brilliantly children at such a young age followed the new routines so well. They made us very proud!

Please remember that due to social distancing guidelines in place we can't have any face to face conversations at the moment but if you do have any worries, concerns or questions or would like to share something fabulous that your child has done at home please email me at the email address above.

 

Forest School

Today was our first day starting forest school again and we LOVED it! 

We had so much fun exploring the woods, collecting objects from our environment and creating some beautiful nature crowns. 

Domino Addition

We worked hard today doing domino addition. We had to carefully count the dots on each side and then add them together. Miss Barrett and Mrs Millward were so impressed with us!

The World

This week in Geography we have been looking at the world and how it is made up of two parts, land and sea. We looked in atlases at the different parts and we know that the land is split in to seven continents. We had lots of fun looking for countries we had visited and places we would like to go. 

World Space Week

This week is World Space Week. We have been having so much fun. Take a look below at all of the things we have been up to.

Rockets 

We had a go at designing our very own miniature rockets. Miss Barrett helped us add rocket fuel and we sat at a safe distance to watch them blast off into the sky! We thought it was very funny watching them zoom into the sky!

Galaxy in a jar

Space Week Writing

Well done to Timmy!!!

Timmy has worked INCREDIBLY hard at home to create a lovely piece of writing and some fabulous pictures, about space week and his favourite planet.

Ordering Planets

We had a look at all of the planets and then put them in the correct order and turned them into our very own space hats. 

Maths - Size Order

In maths we had a go at ordering the space pictures from the smallest to the largest.

Saturn

We even had a go at being Saturn. We used hula hoops to represent Saturn's rings.

Continuous Provision

During our time in continuous provision we have had a go at pretending we were astronauts, building dens on the moon, having a go at solving problems in mission control. We found it hard wearing gloves to fix the problems. We think astronauts have a very hard job.

Weather 
Today we have been looking at different types of weather and we discussed which weather we often see in each of the four seasons. We made our very own weather charts. 

Naughty Bus Adventures!

The children wanted to share some exciting news with you all. 

Today we had a present delivered to class. We were very excited to see what was inside it, but before we were allowed to open it Miss Barrett made us predict what we thought would be inside. We came up with lots of suggestions! 

When we opened the box we were very excited to find a little red bus inside. We all got to have a little hold and say hello to the bus. We put him back inside his box so he was safe. 

 

This morning we were surprised to see that the little red bus wasn't inside his box anymore and that he had left a note to say that he was going on an adventure. Miss Barrett caught the little red bus zooming around the classroom on CCTV. Have a look at the videos below and come back to see where the little red bus goes next!

Saint Francis of Assisi

This week we have been looking at our class Saint. Saint Francis of Assisi. We have learnt that he is the patron saint of the environment and animals. We took our learning outside and created clay animals and leaf prints and created pictures using natural materials that we found in the environment. We have even had a go at drawing our very own pictures of Saint Francis of Asisisi and we have created our own little garden outside our classroom so we can watch the flowers grow and see which creatures come to visit.

The children in year one will need to have a pair of wellies in school and a spare pair of socks. The children will also need weather dependent clothing such as a hat, scarf, gloves, sun hat, sun cream. These can  just be  brought into school on the days they are required. - Please ensure that your child's name is in all clothing items including wellies.
