Pirate Playtime... creating, making, thinking, problem solving and having lots of fun!

Easter Fun in Year 1! Today we had an Easter Party with our friends in Nursery. We sang Easter songs and played Easter games. We have also been enjoying Easter Arts and crafts, stories and a movie in our classroom. Today we also had a surprise delivery from the Easter bunny which was very exciting.

Today we celebrated St Patrick’s day. We read the story of St Patrick and then made our own shamrock wands. During play we also took part in lots of fun St Patrick’s Day activities. I was so impressed with how well the children listened and remembered the story of St Patrick so please ask them to share this with you at home!

World book day 2024. We had a wonderful day celebrating world book day. We had a special assembly to show off our costumes. We had a parade with nursery in our playground and then the Year 7’s came to our classroom to read to us.

We’re going on a bear hunt!

Today we went on our very own bear hunt around school. Our naughty bears were hiding in different classrooms and we had to find them. We had lots of fun looking for them!

This week we became scientists and grew our own gummy bear. We couldn’t believe the results. We were so excited!

This term we will be learning to code on different devices and apps. Today we were learning how to use the BeeBot - our floor robot and exploring the App “Code Karts”. We had lots of fun learning how to give instructions, code and follow directions.

Christmas fun in Year 1!

Our trip to see Santa. We had a brilliant morning at the Navan Centre. We got entertained by a funny Elf, watched a Christmas show about a Snowman, made a Christmas craft and of course visited Santa who said we are all on the good list!

Today we had a visit from the Dogs Trust. We talked about how to stay safe around dogs and care for them.

Outdoor play

Our Sound Story

The Hairy Scary Castle

Exploring Instruments

We have been learning the names of musical instruments and exploring their sounds. We created a sound story called ‘The Hairy Scary Castle’. We used instruments to create sounds to match the story and then for our ICT task we learnt how to record our story using the iPad. We hope you enjoy it!
