We had a visitor to Hazel class today to talk to us all about baptism. We found out about three important symbols of baptism - ask us at home about the oil, water and candle and we will tell you all about them!

We enjoyed exploring line, drawing to music and working with our friends to make an under the sea picture!

We are starting to use equality symbols in Maths and using lolly sticks to help us when we compare numbers! Fantastic work with your partners, too!

🎨 We’re exploring colour mixing this week 🎨 We have learned about the three primary colours & are exploring what happens when we mix two primary colours together. We’re trying out chalks, oil pastels, pens, pencils and crayons!

We’ve had a great morning so far with @birchclassHFS making natural collages. I’ve loved looking at all the wonderful creations!

We have had a brilliant morning exploring the Dark Plantation. We looked for signs of autumn, measured trees to see how old they were and found leaves in lots of different autumn colours. We were also superstars on the walk there and back! 🌟

We are having a great time in our outdoor area this morning! Great communication and team work happening at our car garage and on our pirate ship!

There's pizza and cake on the menu in the mud kitchen and we're trying hard to light the stove in the loose parts area!

We had a great science lesson today learning about the human body. We played a game to practise where different parts of the body were and then we labelled pictures of the human body, using our phonics skills to help us spell.

Today we talked about Remembrance Day and how some of us will be taking part in parades on Sunday. We learnt about why people wear poppies and then we had a go at crafting our own for a piece of artwork.

✨ It’s one of our favourite times of the week! We love reading with our Reading Ambassadors and they’re so helpful! ✨ #hfsreads

🪄 ✨ We’ve had a brilliant week planning and writing our own potion recipes. You are all working so hard, Hazel Class! Never mind turning me into a frog, these potion recipes have blown my socks off! 🪄 ✨

Some amazing shape work in maths today, looking at identifying and naming 2D and 3D shapes. We had a go at playing shape bingo as well as building different shapes with construction.

We made story maps this week to help us to tell our new story, based on Room on the Broom. We told the story aloud as a class, in groups and with a partner to get to know the text. Great work, Hazel Class!

We sorted true or false statements this week all about our class text, Room on the Broom. Then we corrected some of the false sentences on our whiteboards. You are all writing superstars! 🌟

We have started to learn to subtract this week. Our super listening and great team work has helped us get off to a great start!

In RE, we’ve been learning all about the reason people gifts at Christmas! Brilliant work, Hazel Class!

We are making advent wreaths and learning about the 4 advent candles that Christian’s light in the run up to Christmas, plus the candle that represents Jesus that is lit on Christmas Day. Great work, Hazel Class!

We’ve loved seeing your dance moves at our party today, Hazel Class!

What a wonderful festive fun day, Year One! We’ve decorated icy biscuits, made our own tree decorations, enjoyed watching a pantomime and then had lots of fun playing party games this afternoon! 🌟 🎉 ❄️
