This week we have been focusing on the setting of ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ and have been learning all about rainforests. Next week we will be writing an information page to teach people all of the facts that we have learnt.
On Wednesday we had our first trip to Fishpond’s Wood. We explored the physical features of our local environment and found lots of exciting mini-beasts until the rain poured down!
In maths we have been developing our reasoning skills.
Below is a link to a website that provides some great reasoning and problem solving challenges for the children.

On Thursday we celebrated ‘World Book Day’ and dressed up as our favourite characters from different stories. To celebrate the day we participated in a whole school parade to showcase our amazing outfits. Thank you for your donations towards the Book Aid Trust. In the assembly the children learnt about how their donations help bring books to children around the world.
This week we have enjoyed learning about Valeri’s toy dinosaur, Lenny’s battleship, Lucy’s Minnie Mouse, Levi’s necklace and Matilda’s toy elephant. Next week it is the turn of the ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ table for Show and Tell (Albie, Grace, Ranga, Eliza, Caroline and Jiyong).
We hope you all have a restful weekend,
The Year One Team
Looks like you had great fun in the woods. Lo-ove the book day costumes – awesome!
