Gymnastics

Class 1 had lots of fun in gymnastics this week. We learnt some basic shapes and jumps together. The children were so engaged! 

 

Design and Technology – Wheels and Axels

This afternoon, we started our D&T unit by going on a wheel hunt around school. The children were great at spotting different wheels! We also looked at the wheels on some of the toys in our classroom and discussed how they work.

 

 

Greenlands Farm

Class one had a fantastic day at Greenlands Farm! First, we fed the lambs, and then we went to meet some of the other animals on the farm. The children really enjoyed visiting the reptiles and feeding the guinea pigs. We also had time to play! Thank you to all the adults that made this trip possible. The children had a brilliant time!

Learning in Class One

This week our Healthy Heads session was about resilience. The children were set a challenge – to pick up a counter using two pencils. The children didn't give up! Reception have been comparing height in maths and enjoyed talking their learning into the continuous provision. We've also been learning a new song with actions in music, painting in art and developing our throwing skills in PE. 

Art in Class One

Our topic this half-term in class 1 is Expressive Painting. We have talked about some new artists and created visual notes and drawings. We have also explored different painting and mark-making tools to create a picture. We used primary colours to create our amazing artwork.

 

Healthy Heads

This half-term Healthy Heads is being taught by Fleetwood Town in class 1 as part of their PSHE lessons. Healthy Heads is a mental health programme for primary school children, which combines both classroom work and activity.

So far we have discussed self-esteem, kindness and positivity. This week, we talked about teamwork and completed different activities in teams. 

 

Lancashire Fire and Rescue Visit

Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service visited St William's this morning. The children learnt about fire risks, how to best avoid one and what to do in the event of a fire. The children had lots of questions and were so engaged!

 

Guided Reading

At St William's we instil the love of reading from an early age. Class 1 enjoy guided reading every week and love sharing their ideas.

 

PE in Class One

Today we had a great PE session! The children were developing their fundamental skills at each station and enjoyed supporting each other – working as a team. 

 

Music

We had a great music lesson this afternoon! We sang two new songs and added actions – keeping to the pulse of the music. We then listened to two contrasting pieces of music. The children were great at telling me which they preferred and loved choosing their own moves when dancing. 

 

Smile, it's Christmas!

Nursery and class 1 had a great time at their Christmas party today. We had lots of fun – dancing, singing and playing games.
