Year one were lucky enough to have an exciting animal experience group in for the morning. Each class took it in turns to see the animals, and we all thought and wrote questions that we would like to ask before we got to see them. When we got in there, the lady showed us a variety of lizards and snakes, such as a milk snake, a bearded dragon and a blue tongued skink. She even had a little meerkat and an African hedgehog! We were then able to hold or touch the animals if we were very gentle. Some of us were brave enough to hold the big snake. What a fantastic day we had!

 

We loved using our new cooking room so much  last term that we have all been really excited about getting to go in again this term to make something different. We have begun by making healthy pizzas, using pitta breads and lots of vegetables. We have enjoyed being able to pick our own toppings!

We very much enjoyed world book day down in year one. We had the chance to dress up as our favourite characters from Julia Donaldson books and our overall year one winner was a very fabulous Stickman! We spent part of the morning with reading buddies from year four, and spent the afternoon making colour wash pictures with a witch from ‘Room  on the Broom’. It was a great day!

 

 

 

HPS have been lucky enough to get a brand new cooking room here in school. Year one have begun cooking on Friday mornings in small groups. We are all really excited to be trying out the new room! We have begun by making fruit salads, and we will be cooking healthy pizzas in the new term.

Year one were kept busy at the start of spring term by beginning to learn some gymnastics. We had an instructor come in to school and we worked our way through lots of different movements and positions. We learned the tuck shape, dish, front support, back support, straddle and pike. It was lots of fun!

Class 4 returned today to HPS after a busy Christmas. During English  we had a discussion about what we did and what we thought our best bits were. We then wrote some sentences about this. 

I have been so impressed with the homework projects that class four made last term. There has been birdhouses and bird feeders, beautiful art pictures and natural material sculptures. Thank you for bringing them in to share, and I look forward to seeing anything you make this term!

This week in English we have been looking at poetry. Tomorrow we will be writing acrostic poems, so we went on a Autumnal senses walk to collect words and phrases for this. Look at some of our drafts!
