  WANTED

  Posted by Miss E Fitzgerald

  Today you were challenged to create another WANTED poster all about Goldilocks. However we were going to give the story a twist. Goldilocks' crimes were not that she ate the porridge, broke the chairs and slept in the bed... what were her crimes I hear you ask? Well that was up to you. Goldilocks has broken scooters, she has painted houses pink, she has done a lot of atrocious things. I thank all of you for your hard work and imagination that has gone into your posters. Super work Year One.

  3D House Design

  Posted by Miss E Fitzgerald

  I challenged you today to design a house for the Three Bears to live in. You had to think about who was living there, and what a house needs. I was really impressed by the houses that came through, many were colourful. Antonina printed off her design and used the net to build the house. It must have taken her a lot of time and effort, but I am very proud of her!

  Shabbat

  Posted by Miss E Fitzgerald

  This term in RE we are looking at Judaism as a religion. So far the children thought about a day which was special to them, with many saying it was the days when they did certain activities (such as Rainbows and swimming) or were able to have a lie in, or were able to see friends and family member. Today I asked the children to find out a little bit about why Friday and Saturday are special to them. This is because of Shabbat. Shabbat is every Saturday and is a day when Jewish people have treats and spend time with their friends and family. They aren't allowed to work during Shabbat. I have been really impressed with the effort you have put in so far and I look forward to seeing the rest as they come in.

  Star has been doing some of her own home learning activities. She has been busy using the walls in her house as a canvas before redecorating takes places. They drew around her today and did some work on the human body. I love the creativity and opportunity taken.

  Goldilocks Descriptions

  Posted by Miss E Fitzgerald

  Today you were challenged to think of some description words for Goldilocks. I have been super impressed with the effort I have seen so far. Henri has spent a lot of time thinking about her dress, eyes and personality. I love the way he has used the story to help guide his ideas such as saying she was tired and hungry. Well done to Henri ad well done to everyone who has completed their descriptions too. I look forward to seeing the rest of them.

  The Weather

  Posted by Miss E Fitzgerald

  Your Science challenge today was to observe the weather and draw what you saw. I also asked if you could think of clothes which would be suitable to wear. Can you get away with shorts and a top or do you need a woolly hat? Lots of you have been sending in your pictures of what the weather is like. Unfortunately for many of you it appears as though the sun has hidden behind some clouds. I hope it comes back soon. Here is Finley's weather picture, along with what he thinks he should wear. I agree with him. I'd rather be too hot then too cold.

  Character Descriptions

  Posted by Miss E Fitzgerald

  This week we have moved away from setting descriptions and are focusing on character descriptions. Yesterday you were busy thinking about nouns and adjectives to go with the bears and today you have been using your nouns and adjectives and putting them all into sentences. Having the ideas already has meant that you have all been able to focus on your punctuation and grammar. I am very proud of you all, and I look forward to seeing the rest as they are sent in.

  Goldilocks E-Book

  Posted by Miss E Fitzgerald

  Well, Year One I have been overwhelmed with the amazingness of the Goldilocks E-Books you have all created today. Lots of you have taken the time and effort to draw your own pictures for the story, and some of you have written amazing sentences. I see lots of capital letters, full stops, finger spaces and some of you challenged yourself to include exclamation marks and commas. Super effort all around. I have taken a screenshot of Finley's super writing. It was very tricky to choose.
