Welcome back after half term.  The  Wagtails have had a marble treat this week to celebrate filling their  marble jar - well done Wagtails.

 

All the Year One's had a brilliant Samba lesson with Ms Whitehouse ...watch out for the date of our performance at the end of term.  Again you followed the Silver Learning Code by trying something new.  

 

We have also started our new Superhero topic.  The children loved reading Supertato and making their own Supertatoes to take home.  Make sure your Supertato is on the look out for the Evil Pea getting up to mischief.  The Evil Pea has already been causing trouble by hiding the counters we needed for maths and the  stickers for our handwriting books...what will he do next?

Year 1 have enjoyed finding animals on the patio during Grounds Week. We found lots of Woodlice. What animals can you find in your garden or at the park? Remember, they like to hide in damp, dark places.
A very warm welcome back to all our Year 1 children. We have started our learning with a fabulous story 'The Lion Inside'. You can hear the story being read aloud on the youtube link below.

RHS Garden Wisley

What a busy week Year One have had!  

We had such a fabulous time at RHS Garden Wisley, meeting Wisley Bear and experiencing awe and wonder in the glasshouse.  Everyone was a credit to Wootey displaying our core values of happiness, respect and creativity.

We hope you enjoy the photos and get a feel for how much we loved the day.

Thank you to all our helpers- we couldn't have done it without you.  

St Lawrence Church 
Year One had a delightful visit to St Lawrence church as part of our RE learning about Special Places.  We became church detectives and practised showing 'respect' in this special place for Christians.  We tried something new in naming lots of the things we found for example pulpit, lectern and  pew.

Spring Term
Our topic for the spring term is 'Whizz Bang Pop Machine'. We started the term by travelling into space. We learnt about the amazing achievement of Tim Peake and used non-fiction books to research Neil Armstrong. We loved learning about the 8 planets but were sad to hear that Pluto is no longer a planet. You can click the link below to sing along with one of our favourite songs!  

The Solar System Song

It's a song about the Sun and the planets for children of all ages.

Here are some photos of our learning in the spring Term

Autumn Term
In the Autumn Term we enjoyed our topics of Knowing Me, Knowing You linked with the Gruffalo, Superheroes and Commotion in the Ocean. We also had time to explore Autumn and Harvest themes before the fun of Christmas.

Here are some photos of our learning in the Autumn Term
