This week, Year 1 and Year 2 wrote fantastic recounts about their trip to Gibside/South Shields. They used photographs to support their writing in chronological order and tried very hard to use time connectives to help with their sequencing. I am so proud of their beautiful presentation, they all worked extremely hard!
Class 5 put on an incredible last assembly on Wednesday – showcasing all of their talents and unique qualities in our ‘Monkton’s Got Talent’ show! We had everything from hula hooping and gymnastics, to comedians, singers and football players. I’m so proud of Class 5’s developing confidence and eagerness to perform in front of an audience. Thank you so much to all of the grown-ups for attending! Take a look at some of our photos below.
What a fantastic afternoon for our Year 1 sports day!
We are so proud of the children for the hard work and resilience they demonstrated throughout every single race! It was so lovely to hear them cheering each other on!
And a huge thank you to all the grown ups for coming along to watch and cheer on the children and of course, getting involved in our adults race!!
This week, Class 5 have been learning to make equal groups. They know that the word ‘equal’ means the same and when we are sharing, we know it must be fair! First, the class practised making equal groups through the technique of grouping. After this, we moved onto sharing. Finally, we introduced the ‘divide’ symbol and solved division calculations by drawing our own sharing circles and dots. I am so proud of their understanding!
This week Year 1 spent an afternoon with their adults, exploring some wonderful books and sharing some of their favourite stories!!✨
The children loved spending some time with their grown ups and showing them what amazing readers they are!
In class, we often talk about future aspirations and what we want to be when we grow up. We have a display in the school corridor called ‘World Changers’ where children across the school tell us what they want to be. Below are some children from Class 5, with their future ambitions!
This half term, Year 1 are being taught a range of football skills by our fantastic football coach. Class 5 have absolutely loved their sessions so far and have shown excellent dribbling skills which they are practising and developing week on week. Take a look at some of our photos below!
This week, Class 5 have been reading the non-fiction book called ‘Broad Bean’ and they planted their own broad beans after gaining inspiration from the book! We are so excited to see them grow.
In Extended Writing, we wrote instructions to help other people plant one, too!
We were superb at remembering to…
⭐️ Use bullet points for our list
⭐️ Number our steps
⭐️ Include time connectives
⭐️ Use imperative verbs
We even wrote a top tip!
Class 5 had so much fun decorating their eggs on Wednesday morning, for our whole school boiled egg competition! We are looking forward to seeing who the winner and runner-up is! Take a look at some of our amazing designs below.
This week Year 1 had their Easter evening, where we came back to school with our adults to join in with some wonderful Easter activities. We had so much fun spending time with our adults and doing things like colouring, painting, Easter basket making and even making crispy cakes… which was one of our favourites!!
