Castleway Year 1 💙🌈

What a class, what a year! 🥹👏🌈💙 We have had new friends join us and you have grown into the amazing young children you are today. I will miss you so much next year. Enjoy your summer break and remember to always be proud - I sure am! Mrs. Smith 🥰 @WeAreCastleway #WeArePorud

🥳💙🌈 HAPPY 4️⃣0️⃣th BIRTHDAY MR MYCROFT🌈💙🥳 We hope you have the most FAB-U-LOUS day 💙😘 @WeAreCastleway #WeAreCastleway #WeAreFabulous

Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Bell thought that we were all superstars today-showing the @WeAreCastleway values in all that we did. They had to choose one person to get the ‘Spirit of the Games’ award. They chose this young lady because she embodies all of what our #SportsDay is about 🌈💙

This afternoon, We had a fantastic #SportsDay! We got to show our families just how brilliant we really are. We waved our rainbow streamers high and supported each other in the best way we know how to…the #CastleWay 🌈💙 @WeAreCastleway

We all received a #SportsStar sticker for taking part in our school #SportsShowcase 🌟 We demonstrated our #SchoolValues excellently throughout and we are very #Proud of ourselves. @WeAreCastleway #WeAreProud #WeAreSportsStars

Finally, we ran a sprint race against our friends. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Bell couldn’t believe how fast we were 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️ We were so good at it we ran twice! @WeAreCastleway

The speed test really did tire us out! Look at how much effort we put into it though 😊 Some of us jumped so high to get over those cones that we could nearly reach the clouds ☁️ @WeAreCastleway #WeAreSuperJumpers #WeAreActive

Then, it was time for dribbling the #football. A firm favourite for a lot of us. We were so competitive we kept forgetting to leave the ball in the hoop…oops! 🫣⚽️ @WeAreCastleway #WeAreActive

We all gave the skipping a really good go. It was quite difficult but, with the support of our friends, we were given the motivation we needed to finish the race! 🙌 @WeAreCastleway #WeAreResilient #WeAreTeamPlayers

Then, it was time for tennis keep ups. This was quite tricky but we were all so #resilient and we tried our best 🎾 @WeAreCastleway #WeAreActive

Next up was the ben bag throw. We had super strong arms for this. Some of us even through our bean bags further than Mrs. Smith! 🤾🏻 @WeAreCastleway #WeAreActive

This morning’s #SportsShowcase was a huge success for us! We started with the long jump. Just look high high and ling we can jump…👏 @WeAreCastleway #WeAreActive

Before making our taxis, we explored different objects that move with wheels. We discussed what a chassis, axle and wheel was. Then, we looked at photographs of London Taxis and discussed our design criteria for make our own 🚕✏️ @WeAreCastleway @Cornerstonesedu

We loved using these ‘Equipment Mats’ this afternoon. It helped us to organise everything that we needed to make our taxis. Because everything had it’s own place on the mat, it meant that we didn’t lose or misplace anything. We just picked up what we needed. @WeAreCastleway

Today, we worked with a partner to make our own #Londontaxi. Firstly, we used tabs to put the chassis together - this was very tricky! Then, we used two axles and four wheels to make our taxis move. We followed Mrs. Smith’s steps very well! 🚕🛞 @WeAreCastleway @Cornerstonesedu

Here are some more photos of us living our best lives in #ForestSchools. We absolutely love it and feel so lucky to have this at our school 📸💙🌈 @WeAreCastleway #WeAreGrateful #WeAreLearners

Because of the rain whilst we were at #ForestSchool, we made a shelter using a piece of tarpaulin. Mrs. Bell taught some of us how to make our own tent pegs to pin the tarpaulin down. Mrs. Smith was very impressed! @WeAreCastleway #WeAreInventive #WeAreImaginative

We searched #ForestSchool for natural materials to decorate. We found rocks, leaves, sticks and even pine ones. Just look at our happy, vibrant designs 😊🌈 @WeAreCastleway #WeAreCreative #WeAreArtistic

Our text we have been studying in #English is a recipe for a hungry fox. We thought is would be great fun to create our own revolting recipes in #ForestSchool. Just look at that delicious rotten soup with wilted petal seasoning…YUMMY! @WeAreCastleway #WeAreCreative

Such a wet and wonderful day yesterday at #forestschool. Some of us haven’t been over in the rain before and it makes for a totally different experience…lots more mud to play with! 🙌🤣 @WeAreCastleway #WeAreExplorers #WeAreAdventurers #WeAreCreative #WeAreTeamPlayers
