News from Year 1 – gunpowder, treason and plot!

This week kicked off with a bang! We have enjoyed starting our new History learning about Guy Fawkes and the gun powder plot. We even made our own fireworks by twisting different layers of materials around a straw, securing it with tape. These looked fantastic!

Our new book in English, Send for a Superhero by Michael Rosen

We have sadly come to the end of our learning about the Naughty Bus but we are looking forward to starting our new book, Send for a Superhero by Michael Rosen next week. It really is a super book.

Next week in RE, we will be focusing on Islam and the story of the prophet Mohammed. If you have any artefacts (a prayer mat, a copy of the Quran etc.) linked to Islam at home, it would be great for the children to bring them in for show and tell next week.

Finally, if you have any costumes you could share with the class for our Christmas play, that would be great. Anything from a Mary and Joseph outfit to a star costume, anything nativity related would be very helpful!

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Battams and Mrs Brunt 🙂
