All Around Us Week

What a fantastic week we've had in Class 1!

We've been looking at the history of our Marston Thorold's Charity School and thinking of our Tercentenary coming up in July.

We've been writing about the Victorian part of the school being built in 1716.

There was no central heating of course, just fires.

The 2 fireplaces in the 2 original classrooms are blocked in now.

The new build was added on in 2004.

Class 1 was part of this.

The new Reception Room was converted from a cloakroom in 2016.

We had two members of staff who were pupils at this school to tell us all about their schooling. The Good Old Days! Time to sew, garden, build sheds.So interesting!

Not so keen on the cane though!

The whole school has been working with a textile artist to make a new banner for the school.

Class 1 also went to St. Mary's Church to look at the war memorial, the links with the Thorold family and do some painting and sketching.

Have a Happy Half Term everyone!

Food, Glorious Food!

Class 1's Topic in Term 5 is Food.

We've been writing poems about food for the special poetry book, that Mrs. Chesterton is putting together for the School's Tercentary.

Mrs. Chesterton came in to visit YR on Wednesday, as she is Foundation Governor. The Reception children asked her if she was the Queen!

We've been making fruit and vegetable pictures in Art, by printing and using seeds, lentils and rice.

We've been having picnics

and buying food in the local shop.

It's good value for money!

Have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend!

Easter

Class 1 has really been busy this week:

making hot cross buns,

Easter nests,

Easter cards,

and Easter baskets for the competition.

We enjoyed taking part in the Easter Church Service too.

We said an Easter acrostic.

Oops! Turn the E round quick!

We also sang In a Cottage in the Wood, about a rabbit.

Hope he comes to visit us on Easter Sunday.

Happy Easter everyone!

Seder meal

In RE we have been learning about Judaism. 

We had a Seder meal, to understand what foods Jewish people eat at their Passover Meal and why.

Some of us enjoyed tasting new foods.

 Some of us didn't!

The Racy Rays were the best. They polished off the lot!

Mothering Sunday

We've been busy making things to spoil our Mums.

We made crispie cakes with toffee, marshmallows and chocolate. Yum!

We made beautiful cards.

Have a lovely day Mum! Thank you for all you do!


World Book Day 

It was World Book Day on Thursday. Some children brought in their favourite book to share with us. Well done!
