A day in the life of Year 1

Where is your Year 1 learning journey likely to

take you?

Our Theme Learning

Theme is fantastic because we

learn lots of exciting things. We

have lots of interesting school

themes like Don’t Judge a Book

and Whatever Next. We do lots

of writing in theme and we have

got much better because we are

very good at looking at our

targets. We get to dress up on

special event days.

We started learning

French and Arabic in Year

1. We like learning new

words in different

languages.

We really enjoy getting

Magic Moments in

assembly. The teacher

chooses a person each

week who has done

something special and

they get a certificate.

Book Week

We looked at The Paperbag Princess in Book Week and we

wrote alternative endings to the story to change the char-

acters. There were three winners from Year 1. We came

to school dressed as knights and princesses which was

really fun.

Eco Week

Part of our Student Voice group are

the students who help make sure our

school is eco friendly. In Eco Week we

had to dress up in green, collect and

bring in lots of paper from home and

watch it being shredded by our new

recycling company. In the morning we

had the challenge of seeing how many

laps we could do around the sports

field. We also had to switch all the

lights off and not use anything electric.

Festive Cracker

We had a big performance on the field and sang lots

of songs. Afterwards there were lots of stalls and Year

1 made reindeer food to sell. There was also splat the

teacher and we got to throw wet sponges.

we learned about similarities and

differences between people. We learnt

about some amazing people and

created art work with our bodies.

A day in the life of Year 2

Where is your Year 2 learning journey likely to

take you?

Our Theme Learning

Our theme learning in Year 2 has

taken us to some wonderful

places! Our learning about habi-

tats took us to the Aquarium for

an ‘access all areas’ tour, and

our learning on plants as part of

‘new beginnings’ took us to the

Gaffur Tree Foundation. This was

so exciting as we helped to plant

new gaffur trees to help improve

their numbers and prevent them

from Extinction.

‘I loved learning about

Cinde-boy as part of our

‘don't judge a book’

theme. My really enjoyed

making masks for our

masquerade ball. We used

‘mod-roc’, ribbon and se-

quins to make our masks

look really special.’

Sports day

‘I loved taking part in

sports day. It was so fun

being with all the people

in my house and compet-

ing. It didn't matter were

we came as we all got

points for our house!’

This year we have just loved...

I loved learning about Friction in Science.

Our challenge was to get ‘Cinde-boy’ to

the football match as quickly as we could.

We had to choose different materials for

the car to travel along and see which one

the car travelled quickest on.

We took on the role of detectives when

our class bears all disappeared! We had

to try to solve the mystery by following

clues. We even interviewed the possible

suspects! Lucky our bears were all

found safe and sound!

A day in the life of Year 3

Where is your Year 3 learning journey likely to

take you?

Our Theme Learning

Theme is fantastic and exciting

because we learn through fun

activities. This year we loved our

Space Day and Super Hero Day

which were to teach us about

pushing our own limits. We get

to dress up on these special

event days. We also have a great

time learning new things by go-

ing to different classes and expe-

riencing different lessons taught

by our Year 3 teachers.

We started using iPads in

Term 3, it is really fun to

help us with all our les-

sons. It is an enjoyable

way to learn!

Things that we have real-

ly enjoyed this year are

our swim gala, our trips

to make our learning

better and performing to

our friends and families.

Hetty Feather

During our learning of play scripts, we went to see the

tremendous show Hetty Feather. This helped us with

our learning because it showed us how to be confident

in our own performances and showed us about stage

directions and character voices.

Eco Week

Part of our Student Voice group are the stu-

dents who help make sure our school is eco

friendly. In Eco Week we had to dress up in

green, collect and bring in lots of

paper from home and watch it being

the morning we had the challenge of seeing

how many laps we could do around the

sports field. We also had to switch all the

lights off and not use anything electric.

time which we could spend with

our friends.

really enjoyed in Year 4

are the survival day and

creating our own

visited.

Year 4 trip to play nation

played bowling, did the I fly, took a risk to go on the sky trail or climbing

wall and we played soccer. We learnt how forces can push us and pull us.

Arts Week in Year 4

In arts week each year group had a

different styled art that they had to do.

Year 4 did pop art in the theme of Andy

Warhol. Arts week also had lots of per-

formances such as musicians who

played an instrument, clubs (dancing

club, singing club that did shows) and

some teacher performances.

Trip to Dubai museum and the creek

First we got onto a boat and rode to the museum.

The reason why we went was because we were

learning about pearl diving. In the boat they gave

us juices! And it was really fun! The museum was

really interesting. We watched videos and saw the

coins they used in the olden days.
