Class One put on their walking shoes this week and walked to Roundhouse library. We met the helpful and welcoming staff and learnt about how to get our own library card so that we can borrow upto 10 books! We can't wait to visit again.
We enjoyed sharing stories with our friends and adults and the librarian even read us a story that we enjoyed joinging in with. We have some very excited children to get reading and visit more of the libraries around Barnsley.

In science this half term we are learning all about materials. We know that objects are made from materials and that some materials are strong and some can break, some are flexible and some are rigid.
We went on a hunt around our area looking for different materials, our challenge was to find objects made out of wood, plastic, metal and glass. We found lots!
​We looked closely at the objects and discussed why we thought they were made from that material, we thought about why other materials could not be used.
We all agreed wooden windows would not be useful!

Welcome to the new Class One! 
We are all brand new to year one but are settling in so well. We have done so much already during our first week. We have been exploring our new classroom and having fun accessing the areas. We have been sorting, counting, painting, writing and much more!
Watch us continue to grow through the year, we can't wait to fill our brains with new and exciting things as we move through Class One.

We had the best day today visiting Mapplewell Meadows to meet Deborah who we had written letters to earlier in the term! This is where the bog baby during early Spring and we went to see if it was settling in well there. We walked 1.9 miles each way with our little legs, enjoyed a well deserved ice-pop and then ventured down to the pond and planted bluebells for the Bog Baby to enjoy next year. We looked at the other creatures and wildlife sharing the habitat and even think that we saw a Bog Baby hidding in the water which was very exciting!
We can't wait to go back with our grown ups and sample the amazing cakes at the view cafe.
​Thank you for having us Deborah!
