Living Eggs!
Spellings
Our super spellings for this week: called, asked, played, and looked for Friday 13th February.
On Friday we had a brilliant workshop via Zoom from The London Postal Museum. This linked to our story 'The Jolly Postman.' The children loved learning songs, signs and playing games to work out who the letters were for. This year is the 40th anniversary of the story and Year 1 will be creating some art, poems and letters to contribute to an exhibition at the museum celebrating the much -loved children's book by Janet and Alan Ahlberg. All the children received a writing set of beautifully illustrated paper and envelopes to inspire them to continue to write letters at home.

PE Term 3
Gymnastics
Please note that our new PE day is Monday.
In our PE lessons this term, we will be learning new skills in gymnastics. We will learn how to roll in different ways, a forward roll, a pencil roll and a teddy bear roll. We will try to keep our balance when on the mat or on the benches. Once we have mastered these skills, we will then link these different skills together to perform a sequence which we will perform in front of our classmates.

Our first topic of year 1 looked at all of the wonderful places that are near to us as well as thinking about what we like and dislike about living in Canterbury. We compared Canterbury to the coastal town Folkestone.

Science
Everyday Materials
Year 1 have explored the classroom and outside area to find how different materials have been used. We learnt about the difference between an object and the material it is made from.
We though about the properties of the materials and why we used them. We helped to make a waterproof roof for a house for our cuddly toys by testing different materials.
In Science we have been observing seasonal changes.
