Superhero Me!
Welcome to our amazing topic!
During this term, we will be learning more about ourselves. We will learn about our families and homes, but will also look at how amazing, unique and individual we all are! Alongside this, we will learn about real life superheroes (for example, Doctors) and we will also look at some of our favourite comic superheroes too.

Monday 20th September- In literacy today we did some hot seating. Miss Derbyshire pretended to be a character from "The Paper Dolls", and everyone else had to ask some questions to find out more about the character. Some of the children then had a go at pretending to be a different character. We all did a fantastic job at thinking of interesting questions to ask!
We have been having lots of fun during choosing time in Year 1. Why don't you take a look at what we have been up to in the busy areas?

Our Paper Doll Adventure
This week, we took our paper dolls on an adventure around school. They did lots of fun activities! Following on from this, we looked at verbs (doing words) and we gave lots of examples in class. During the next English lesson, we wrote a list of verbs. Some of us even had a go at writing super sentences, which included verbs too.
Mrs Green is EXTREMELY proud of her super Year One children this week. 
Not one, but two grown ups have mentioned to her how lovely, sensible and well behaved the whole class are. What a wonderful compliment to have of the children and we are only in our second week back to school. Mums and dads, you should be very proud too. 
WELL DONE AND KEEP IT UP YEAR ONE!
