Last week in Chestnut we read the story of 'Dogger' by Shirley Hughes. We then looked at an Oxford Reading Tree picture book called 'The Lost Teddy'. We talked to our talking partners about what was the same or 'similar' and what was different. We then had to think of how the story would end. We wrote our ideas on snowballs, threw them and then added another idea on another snowball. The best bit though as always is getting to throw them at Mrs Ware at the end. We used these

Year 1 enjoyed another exciting session of Forest School this week. We learned a new skill - peeling! First we had to make sure we used our tools in a safe manner. We used the 'respect position' and wore a glove on our 'non tooled hand'. The best part was eating the carrots after we peeled them - yum! We had fun in the mud kitchen and working together to build shelters.

Every day in Chestnut we find the correct coins to pay for our snack. It's interesting to see the different coins we can use to make the same amount.

Over the past few weeks we have been working with our talking partners to follow a set of simple instructions or 'algorithm' to make it through a maze. A challenge was then added and we needed to add a quarter turn left or right into our algorithms to navigate the same maze. It was tricky but we did it!!!

In our PE lessons this term we are looking at developing our social skills. Our learning goals for this term are: ALL of us can work sensibly with others, by sharing space and equipment. MANY of us can help, praise and encourage others. SOME of us can show patience and support others. We are discussing and exploring together on how we can develop our knowledge and skills to meet our learning goals. Our fundamental physical skill for the last 3 weeks has been Jumping and landi
