KS1

The Year 1 children have settled back to school with great ease and excitement. We are all very happy to be coming to school each day. Each child’s smile in the morning makes all their teachers smile. 

So far, the children have completed sorting in maths, online safety for computing and problem solving in forest school. 

This week the Blessed Sacrament is visiting St Helen’s. Year two visited the blessed sacrament and adored the blessed sacrament in a calm and quiet environment. This gave us an opportunity to pray for our own intentions. We all felt very blessed to be able to have the blessed sacrament at St Helens. We know and understand that we can always speak to Jesus. 

In Year 2, we are studying Noah’s Ark and the covenant God sent which was symbolised with a rainbow. We designed our own rainbows and wrote what God promises to take care of. As part of our outdoor learning some of us created a poster showing Noah’s Ark and all of the animals that were on the Ark in twos. 

In our maths lessons we have been learning how to count in tens and ones. We used our dienes to assist us in making two digit numbers. 

In our PSHCE lesson we have been learning about the Zones of regulation. We have learnt that the green zone is the best zone for learning. We also learnt throughout the day we could be in different zones and that is okay. We read scenarios and looked at pictures and decided which zone they belonged in.
