Hello
Class 1 loved learning outdoors. This week we have covered lots of areas of the curriculum by learning outside and exploring the different ways that we can use our school grounds.
In literacy we practised different sounds and letters and we planted lettuce words in our wee garden.
In maths, we practised our mental strategies and place value using sticks and leaves, stick =10 and leaf=5. We created lots of maths problems and we solved them with the visual support of numicon shapes. We also found out how to estimate the life of a tree just by measuring its circumference. Based on our knowledge that roughly every 25cm of girth represents about 10 year’s growth, we estimated that the trees in our playground are 30 years old (75cm).
For our topic, we continued talking about living things in our school grounds and we made our own bird feeders.We also created beautiful art pieces by rubbing barks and comparing the different the shapes and surfaces. The kids enjoyed exploring secret paths in our garden and performing their drama skills through play. Finally we used our senses to feel, smell and see the variety of herbs that grow in Eco graden. We collected some of them to use them for our sensory activities. At the same time we checked the lentils that we planted and we were so happy when we saw the small stems that have started to grow. We added some drops of water and we placed the pot close to the window
Have a lovely October break everyone!!

Hello everyone!!
We have been having so much fun in Class 1 this week for our outdoor learning week.
In literacy, we continue practicing with our sounds and letters. Sorley read CVC words on the logs and Murray and Zainab ha a race picking up the correct “ai” word from the washing line!! Seher, Mariam, and Diego made an alphabet potion while Joshua, Muhsin, and Abdul dug for alphabet letters.
In maths, we continued learning our numbers using washing lines and checking for missing numbers. Sorley also worked hard with skipping counting in steps of 4s!!
For our topic this week we searched for living things in our garden and we planted lentils in a pot using cotton!!
In H/WB we played a lot outside creating our own obstacle routes and we baked healthy muffins using courgette and feta cheese!! That’s a recipe that Miss Symie used to do very often when was in Greece 🙂
Have a lovely weekend everyone!!!

This week we have been exploring the story Leaf Man, by Lois Ehlert.
We discussed her stunning illustrations and commented on her use of colour and how this links to autumn. As part of our science learning, we examined trees in our woodland area and noted the changes we could see. Did you know that trees begin to lose their leaves in autumn because the days are getting shorter and the temperature is getting colder?
We collected different leaves and created beautiful animal and nature collages.
We also used our leaves in teaching mathematical concepts such as counting, patterns, sorting, addition, and data analysis.
In Literacy, we continue with the Jolly Phonics sounds.
Last week we went to pick blackberries from our garden. We have our secret spot in the garden. Here the thorny bushes are overladen with large, juicy berries. Luckily there are still many berries within reach. This week we talked about blackberries and we made our own blackberry jam. It was a lovely experience for all the kids we prepare their own product and then enjoy it with their breakfast!!
This week, as part of our Sustainability Topic, we planted our own flower seeds. We talked about the parts of the plant and learned how we can plant a seed in the ground. We realised that, firstly, we need to use a leaf rake to gather the leaves off the garden. We were extremely careful when we used our gardening tools and we tried to protect all the living things and their habitats. We were so excited that we found a CATERPILLAR within the leaves. We hold it carefully in our hands and then we returned it back to its natural habitat!
Our favourite part of the day- The Light Room!!
In Class 1, we build up our social skills by playing together! Lovely moments from our class showing the power of FRIENDSHIP!!
Pizza and crafts for a relaxing Friday afternoon!!
See you all on Monday!!
Miss Symeonidou
Lots of fun and coordination skills on our obstacle course we created today!
