Year 1
Year One Guffalo Wonder Day at Skelton Grange
Gruffalo Crumble!
Year 1 have been working incredibly hard in their English lessons. We have used our class text, The Gruffalo, to inspire different pieces of writing. At the end of the story the mouse tells us his favourite food is Gruffalo Crumble. Mrs Coldman thought Gruffalo Crumble sounded like a perfect Year 1 treat! We wrote a list of ingredients for the crumble so Mrs Coldman knew what to buy. Our lists were so detailed and we worked really hard using our segmenting fingers to help our spelling. Then we made the crumble! Some of the ingredients were the Gruffalo's...
orange eyes (apricots)
black tongue (raisins)
terrible teeth (mini marshmallows)
poisonous wart (green smarties)
purple prickles (purple jellytots)
Year 1 couldn't wait to try the Gruffalo Crumble. It was delicious! We enjoyed eating it while watching The Gruffalo as a playtime treat! Well done on your super writing and amazing baking skills Year 1!

The Gruffalo: Year One Reading - September 2024
Our Year One class are enjoying their daily English lessons in Key Stage 1. The whole class are exploring the key text "The Gruffalo" from Julia Donaldson. The children know the repeated parts of the story and they are very excited to begin to bring the story alive through their storty tray, puppet and even a wonder day at Skelton Grange next week. We can't wait to continue our reading journey. Well done Year One.
Year 1 Computing (beginning our KS1 curriculum for Computing - September 2024)
Year 1 have been exploring how to use a technology with Mrs Goodwin in their very first computing lesson within the KS1 curriculum. We learnt about the main parts of a laptop and practised turning the laptop on and logging in, following our sequence of instructions carefully. The children applied their learning and knowledge of the different parts of the laptop to complete a mouse-based task using our mobile computers. The children absolutely loved operating the computers today. Well done Year 1!
