Badger Class have been learning to retell the story of The Three Little Pigs. 20th June 2023
Year 1 have been learning about the importance of washing their hands regularly. The children have read the book, ‘Sherm the Germ’ and discussed as a class how important it is to reduce the germs on our hands by washing them often. The children completed an experiment, they had three pieces of bread and passed one of them around the circle with hands that had not been washed recently and then repeated the process with a fresh piece of bread and freshly washed hands. There was a third piece of bread as the control piece, which doesn’t have any mould on it yet!
As a class the children decided that even freshly washed hands can spread germs so it’s really important to wash our hands thoroughly a few times a day, and always after using the bathroom.
What do you think of our results?
We ran a "Beep Beep Road Safety Day" for all children at Fairfield to highlight the importance of road safety and talked to the children about staying safe on the roads and gave them basic messages about the dangers of traffic. In particular, we talked about the importance of children holding hands with a grown up when walking near roads to help keep them safe. We also talked about how to cross roads safely with a grown up.
Children wrote postcards to their parents asking you to help keep them safe.
They are asked them to:
• always hold their hand when walking near roads
• always find a safe place to cross the road
• show them how to look out for traffic by using the Green Cross Code
• always walk on the pavement or footpath Please talk to your child about the messages on their postcard, and display their artwork proudly to show them you understand the importance of keeping them safe near roads.
Here are some examples of their learning....
Year 1 have been using coins in their Maths learning this week. In Badger Class, the children were talking about The King appearing on the new 50 pence pieces. Isabella very kindly brought in her family collection of 50 pence pieces including one with the new King on! Badgers Class loved looking at all the different pictures, thank you Isabella.
Badgers have been enjoying Yoga this morning. The children have been experimenting with different yoga positions including tree, chop and block position. Ask them to show you their yoga positions, can you guess the position?
