The Three Little Pigs

1EG have been learning the story of the Three Little Pigs. Miss Gavin is so proud of how hard we have all worked. We had the chance to go to Nursery for story time and really enjoyed telling them our version of the story. Here is a video of us telling the story...enjoy!

1EG Feed Bristol Trip

1EG had a great time at the allotments at Feed Bristol today. We had a lovely walk down there with the PCSO and crossed the road so sensibly! When we got there we had a tour and looked at the different herbs and vegetables growing in the polytunnels, we wondered around the vegetable patches and had a chance to smell lots of different plants and herbs.

Then we looked at lots of different seeds. We noticed how they were all different colours, shapes and sizes. We talked about what these seeds would need to grow:

"The roots get food from the ground." (Tom)
"They need sunshine to grow." (Ernest)
"We have to water plants to help them grow." (Katie)

We all really enjoyed being able to plant our own seeds. We carefully filled our pots with compost, made a little hole with our finger, carefully buried our seeds and then they were ready to be watered. We had to make sure we labelled our plant so we knew what it was going to grow into. Some of us planted beans and some if us planted seeds. We are hoping to go back and visit later in the year to see how our plants have grown.

Thank you to everybody who helped out today!

Here are some photos - more to follow!

Well done again for your super spellings. Lets all aim for 10 out of 10 next week!

Traditional Tales

We have had a great first week back and are thoroughly enjoying our new traditional tales topic. Well done for all your super homework, the Year 1 teachers really enjoyed reading your reviews of all the different traditional tales including Jack and the Beanstalk, The Frog Prince, Goldilocks and the Three Bears and The Gingerbread Man. Lots of you gave the stories 10 out of 10 so we are looking forward to sharing more traditional tales as a class. It would be great if you could bring in your favourite traditional tales from home, just make sure your name is in it!

We have been focussing on The Three Little Pigs this week. All of the children have really enjoyed getting to know this story and are brilliant at retelling it. Why not have a go at home? You could use the story map to help you. We have been busy acting out the story, making finger puppets, printing brick wall for our role play areas, making the pigs houses out of junk modelling and construction toys and creating our own weird and wonderful designs for the pigs houses!

Next week we will be writing our own versions of this well loved traditional tale!
