KS1 had a fantastic time on Tuesday as we welcomed the Circus Sensible Team into school for an unforgettable  experience!

The day kicked off with an electrifying assembly, where  the children were wowed with amazing circus skills, instantly igniting their excitement for the day ahead.

Throughout the day, each class took part in hands on circus workshops, exploring activities like plate spinning, ribbon twirling, balancing and more. Every session was led by a skilled professional, ensuring all children (and teachers!) were supported and engaged as they learned new tricks.

The day ended with a show stopping finale, where children volunteered proudly demonstrated their new talents. It was a joy to see their confidence grow and their faces light up as they performed for their peers.

A big thank you to to all the children and staff who helped make the day so memorable. What a brilliant way to build confidence, coordination and teamwork – all while having fun!

We have had a fantastic first week in Year 1. The children have loved exploring the areas of provision in the classrooms and taking part in some exciting activities! This week, we have learnt the poem “There Was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly”. On Friday we visited the orchard and picked some apples. We enjoyed tasting the apples together.

Year 1 had a fantastic time in Filey on Tuesday. Thank you to all the parents/carers that volunteered!

Today we had a visit from some musicians to do a Titanic music workshop with us. It was great to hear some of the music that would have been played in the different classes on the ship. We even got to try playing some instruments ourselves and danced to the music!

In Art this half term Year 1 are creating pictures inspired by the sea. In History we learnt about Grace Darling and the people she saved from the boat crash. The children used paintings that different artists had created of the sea to help them with their pictures. We talked about the different green and blue colours we could see. Last week the children created a background with paint. They then went in again this week and created a collage over the top to add different textures. We can’t wait to see the finished pictures!

In computing this half term we are learning how to write digitally. We practised logging on and then wrote our names. We learnt the enter key, space bar key and backwards key.

This week at ACE it is Mental Health Week. We did an emoji with the emotions from our emotions register. We then used these emotions to talk about different scenarios and imagined how these would make us feel and how we would resolve them.

This half term in our writing lessons we have been reading The Disgusting Sandwich. Before we planned our Hot Write we went outside and took a sandwich around the school to see if anything disgusting would happen to it. The children then used this setting as an option to innovate their story map. Well done 1C your stories were fantastic!

In Science this week we were learning about wild plants. We then went on a wild plant hunt and learnt about how to use a tally chart.

On Friday 1C celebrated the work that they had done throughout their Arts Fortnight. Thank you to all the grown ups that came- it was a fantastic afternoon!
