In Music, we have learnt how to play a few notes on the glockenspiel and have performed this as a whole class. As you can see the children are wonderful musicians! @StPhilipCEAP#Teamstphilip
Today, we have enjoyed a trip to the library and have read a range of different books. We picked our favourite book to read in the cosy corner. What a lovely way to end our Friday! @StPhilipCEAP#Teamstphilip
The children had arrived at school to discover a mysterious crash landing! The children have formulated questions based on their discoveries. I wonder what our new English unit will be? @StPhilipCEAP#Teamstphilips
In Computing, we have discussed what might happen if we share a photograph. We have learnt about the importance in asking for permission, particularly from a trusted adult. #StPhilipWestbrookEsafetyY1@StPhilipCEAP#Teamstphilip
Today we have identified and named four mini beasts in Spanish. The children have enjoyed a game of four corners, and drawn their favourite mini beasts too. #stphilipsSpanishY1@StPhilipCEAP#Teamstphilips
What a fantastic few days celebrating Christmas in Yr1. Our Christmas party was great fun and we enjoyed our games, crafts making, and carol concert. On behalf of Mrs Boswell and myself we want to say thank you for your generosity and wish you a merry Christmas. #StphilipCEAP
The children have enjoyed the Spanish until this term. We have worked hard to learn the days of the week, learn actions to our hot chocolate song, and discover a range of Spanish breakfast items. Well done Year 1 @StphilipsCEAP #Year1Spanish#Teamstphilips
Today we have visited the library and enjoyed looking at different books and listening to stories in the cosy reading corner! What a wonderful afternoon, well done year one :) @StphilipsCEAP #Teamstphilip
In science we have explored our body and the different senses. We looked at the importance of having taste buds to help us taste our food, our experiment was great fun too! @StphilipsCEAP #Teamstphilips
In science the children enjoyed the cleaning pennies experiment. The children could see how the white vinegar and salt work to make the pennies change from dull to shiny! Well done Year 1π@StPhilipCEAP#Teamstphilips
Forest school today included a mini beast hunt, we found lots of different creatures. We guided a blinded folded friend through the woods to find a tree using our directional language. @StPhilipCEAP#teamstphilips
In Forest school this week we read the story of the Leaf Thief. We used this as a focus to make a jail using sticks and lots of team work. We also demonstrated great problem solving when creating a marble run game and a waterfall. #teamphilips@StPhilipCEAP
We had a lovely morning in Forest school, it was nice to be out enjoying nature again. We reminded ourselves of the rules we need to follow to keep us safe. We then played in the mud kitchen, made dens and had lots of fun. #Teamstphilips@StPhilipCEAP
The children have had a lovely morning trip walking to the orchard, and they explored the changing of seasons especially in weather and plants. We even managed to pick some apples off the tree! @StPhilipCEAP#Teamstphilips
In English the children have been introduced to the text 'Cave baby' by Julia Donaldson. We have thoroughly enjoyed meeting our new characters and following them on their fun adventures! @StPhilipCEAP#Teamstphilip
What a great start to the year! It has been lovely getting to know all the children. They particularly enjoyed their DT lessons, creating a strong, stiff, and stable structure for baby bear. Well done Year 1. Have a happy weekend and enjoy the sun:) @StPhilipCEAP#Teamstphilip
Mrs McMahon and I would like to send out our sincere thanks and appreciation for your generous gifts and messages, we both feel completely overwhelmed. We have had the most wonderful year with your fantastic children and will miss them so much next year. Happy summer everybody! X
Yesterday we finally got to run our races! The children were so excited and demonstrated excellent teamwork, fellowship and lots of perseverance. Well done Reception! #teamstphilips@StPhilipCEAP
Today, we were excited to visit our own school library and spend some time looking at all of the new books. We all chose a library book to borrow over the summer. We will need to return these books on our next library visit in Year 1. #teamstphilips@StPhilipCEAP
