Sapphire Class 2024-25
Outdoor Learning Mondays
 
Every Monday in the first term, we will be spending some time outdoors, either at Forest School or in the EYFS outdoor area. In these sessions, we will be developing our PSHE skills, such as sharing, taking turns, being kind and working together. It's great fun too!
Once Upon a Time...
 
Our topic this term is called Once Upon a Time and we will be reading and retelling several fairy tales in our literacy lessons. To help our writing come to life, we first act out the stories through drama. See if you can work out what the stories are...

Our trip to Barleylands Farm
 
On 9th May, we had a wonderful trip to Barleylands. We learned about healthy eating, made pizzas with healthy toppings, had a tractor ride, saw (and smelled) plants in a polytunnel and stroked and fed lots of animals. We had amazing weather so we ate our lunch outside in the sun.
This is NOT the way to Bethlehem
Our KS1 play this year was about 2 children who made a snowman that came to life and together they went on a journey round the world to find out where Jesus was born. Year 1 performed dances from Australia, Japan and the North Pole, as well as the stars and camels that they found in Bethlehem!
Firework pictures
Having learned about the history of Guy Fawkes Night and watched videos about how to keep safe on Bonfire Night, we had great fun creating our own firework pictures using pastels.
We love art!
In the first term, we have been learning to mix colours and apply paint and pencil carefully, staying within the lines.
 
What a great start to the year!
 
It has been Super September for Sapphire Class. We have had Forest School sessions, lots of drama to help us with our writing, materials games in science and much, much more!

The World's Biggest Coffee Morning
We had great fun raising money for Macmillan by eating cakes with our families!
Super Science
We are learning to identify different materials. First of all we played a game to match the materials and their names, then we went on materials hunt in the school grounds.
Dramatising A New House for Mouse
Our focus text this half term is A New House for Mouse by Petr Horacek. We really enjoyed pretending to be the different animals as we retold the story.
