Ash 1

 Welcome to Ash 1 
2019 - 2020

Summer 1 

In computing we have become Story Tellers. We have been using different voices and accents to tell stories. 

Our Core Book this half term is One Day on our Blue Planet in the Savannah

Spring 2 

We started British Science Week off with the virtual reality headsets. We went on a journey to space, visiting all the planets and learning facts about the different planets. We think this was the best way to science week. 

World Book Day

Today we had a workshop with Bigfoot Arts Education called ‘Around the World with Boone.’ It is a multicultural story. The children loved the workshop and were fully engaged. Boone the Banana lives in the fruit and vegetable section of a busy supermarket. All the fruit and vegetables live in groups and are scared to mix in case they don’t understand each other. Boone wakes up on the supermarket floor. He must have fallen off in the night and he mixed with all the different fruits. He was very excited to make his way home to tell his his banana family all about his day with the different fruits. He wanted his family to experience his adventure. 
 

Ash 1's P.E days have changed. 
We will now be doing P.E on a Tuesday and a Wednesday. 

Please can you ensure your child has trainers, tracksuit bottoms/leggings and a white t-shirt for Tuesday P.E as this is our outdoor lesson (weather permitted). Wednesday is our indoor P.E lesson which your child will need plimsolls, shorts and a white t-shirt. 

Our Science Week activity in years 1 and 2 will be to design and make a wheeled vehicle. Could you please bring in a small cardboard box for them to use by Monday 11th March. E.g. a shoebox, cereal box.

Ash 1 and Oak 2 have been exploring, using the apparatus in P.E. They thoroughly enjoyed it and were very adventurous. They are very excited to use the apparatus again next week.

Our Core Book this half term is The Lonely Beast

Parents/Carers,

Can you please check you have your children’s clothes and not anyone else’s. We have a few items which have gone missing. If you do happen to have another child’s clothes come home by accident, could you please return them. To make it easier for us to relocate lost clothing, can you please make sure that all of their clothing is labelled.

Thank you,
Miss McCabe
 

Autumn  2 

Ash 1 have been busy making their own Beegu's. They've really enjoyed our core book this term. Beegu has been very naughty but she is now very well behaved and Mr Celino-Stock has decided Beegu can stay after writing a letter to persuade him Beegu was being naughty, she was just trying to help around the school. 

KS1 Nativity- Is There A Baby In There?
KS1 were amazing in their nativity performance.
Both Mrs Hutchins and myself are very proud of them all.

Eeligh the Elf! 
Ash 1 came in on Monday morning to a present left on the carpet.
We opened the present and were surprised to find an Elf in the box. Our Elf left us a note saying how he is naughty some days and nice other days. Eeligh has Ash 1 constantly wondering what he is going to do next. We will add more pictures each day to update you on Eeligh's journey in Ash 1.   

Our Christmas Hoop
We chose to make reindeers to decorate our hoop.

Royal Observatory Greenwich
We went to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. We learnt all about the seasons, how the axis tilts away from the sun when it is winter and how it tilts towards the sun when it is summer. We met Ted and we got to go on two adventures with Ted. One where we learned all about the four seasons, dressing Ted appropriately for winter and summer and the other adventure was  a trip in the rocket ship in the planetarium to all the different planets.

Ash 1 came back from assembly today and Beegu had trashed our classroom!

Beegu has been caught being mischievous around Parkway Primary School!

Today we saw a beautiful rainbow and looked at our shadows

Our Core book this half term is Beegu. 

Autumn 1

Welcome to Ash 1's class page!

This term our topic is Space. This topic is related to our core reading book, 
Man on the Moon (a day in the life of Bob) by Simon Bartram.

 We have been learning about the timeline of events in the race to space. 

In Science we are learning about seasonal changes and their associated weathers.
