Owls were lucky enough to be the first class to visit the new and improved library this year. We have all taken out a book using our library cards. These cards will stay in school. Books will need to be returned by 23rd March, this will be our next visit.
Larks will be visiting the library on Monday 16th March.
A couple of pictures from Owls assembly.
Today, we have been looking for signs of spring. To try and avoid all of the deep puddles, we went for a walk around the school grounds so we could hear the birds and see any budding plants. 
CRICKET
Another great cricket lesson. Today we focused on both batting and fielding. We looked at the technique needed to throw over arm and to bat. We did this by playing lots of REALLY fun games!
We have been looking at the ch phoneme family. This is made up of:
ch – chip
tch- pitch
We have also looked at the e phoneme family. This is made up of:
e-egg
ea- head
And several tricky words:
said, says, friend, leopard, any.
Sometimes when it’s raining and we have to stay inside, we enjoy some yoga.
We recommend videos by cosmic kids on YouTube, these are full of easy to follow yoga positions. 
CRICKET
Well what an active day for year one! We have a cricket coach in for the next six weeks to develop more of our striking and fielding skills.
This week we are looking at money. We are looking at coins in particular and seeing if the children can recognise and name the coins, as well as identify their value. This morning we have made totals of multiple coins (see the picture attached). Some children had dots underneath each coin to show their value and some used a tens frame to help them find the total. Please ‘spend’ (excuse the pun!) some time allowing your child to handle coins and find totals. Next time you’re in the shop, maybe they can have a go at purchasing something with your assistance.
See if your child can solve these questions below:
