CUCKOO
Welcome to Cuckoo Class!
A warm welcome to our class page! In Cuckoo class there is a mixture of children from both Year 1 and Year 2!
This page is intended to give you an insight in to all the fantastic things we will be doing, so please check back here often to see some of our recent activities. We will also use this page for any important updates so please check regularly!
Year One Common Exception Words - the children should be able to spell these words by the end of the year.
These actions can be used alongside the sounds to support children when reading/writing at home.

We had a theatre company come to school and we watched Robin Hood!
This is our biscuitology experiment! We were scientists and we're trying to find out which biscuit is best for dunking! We found out that the plain was best because it has lest super in so desert melt as quickly!
We have learned the sequence of the Great fire of London and can now order the events correctly!

We have had a visit from a fire woman! She taught us about all the jobs they do and how to stay safe if there was a fire.
We have been learning how to create a sillouhette in art and have used fiery colours for the back ground as the sunset and the Great Fire of London
We also used the natural objects to make a photo frame and artwork to hang
We used natural objects from our walk to make homes for our animals, thinking about what is important for their habitat.
The whole school went for a walk to explore the outdoors and we buddied up with Goldfinch to find things to use in our afternoon activities.
The Life Education bus came to visit and we learned all about how to stay healthy. Gerald the Giraffe taught us about the main food groups and what they do to our bodies
Our new Science topic is materials! We started by identifying different materials in our environment
We started the term off talking about Firework night and made our own out of different materials.

We enjoyed our walk around Bruton where we found a lot of human and physical features
We used lots of pasta to work out our addition calculations this week!
We have been writing instructions on how to make porridge this week! First, we learned how to do it ourselves so we knew what to tell Goldilocks. Hopefully she will stop stealing the Bears now!

We pretended to be hungry caterpillars to choose the largest or smallest pile!
