1M have thoroughly enjoyed learning about The Lorax this week and how we need to protect our planet! Celebrating the end of this week with our fantastic dressing up. 

Year 1 – Unit 1.4

The online safety unit this half term has been about the different ways people communicate online and what is meant by ‘personal information.’

The children have learnt that anyone online that they don’t know in real life is a stranger and what to do if someone online asks them for personal information. The children will be bringing home a Family Online Action Plan – please discuss this and fill it in with your child.

Year 1 - We are TV Chefs

We have had lots of fun working as TV chefs in our Topic lessons this week, take a look at what we made!

Year 1 - Victoria and Albert Toy Museum

Pupils in Year 1 spent an exciting day at the Victoria and Albert Toy Museum putting their new found knowledge of the history of toys and science to good use. All the staff at the museum were very impressed by the children's knowledge of the materials the toys were made from and their properties. Meanwhile the Hilldene staff and volunteer parents were incredibly impressed by the behaviour and conduct of the children throughout the day. Without a doubt, our budding historians and inquisitive scientists are all looking forward to sharing more details of the trip and their learning with parents at the year group assembly on Friday the 28th of February.

1M - Amazing Attendance

The marvellous 1M have done it again! Second time of completing their AMAZING ATTENDANCE chart. Well done 1M, Ms McKinnon is super proud of you all. 

Year 1 – Computing Unit 1.3

This half term the children have been learning what the internet is and how people use the internet. They have discussed how using computer devices too often can be bad for us and how we should take time out from technology to do other things. Parents and carers remember it is better to share books at bedtime and maybe reduce the amount of time your child spends using screens before going to bed.

1Q - The Gigantic Turnip

1Q have been using Talk 4 Writing to practise writing stories. 

First we read the story. Then we discussed the sequence of events. After we thought of pictures and actions to help us remember and practise sentences. Finally we wrote it all down. 

Our stories were absolutely fantastic and we had great fun.
