In History this term Tigers have been learning about old and new buildings. This week we looked at the buildings near school deciding if they are old or new. One clever Tiger then built her own house telling me the different features @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social

Our Year 1 bake sale is going great! 🍰 Tigers, Bumblebees and Gorillas were hard at work selling treats. It’s 🦓 🦒 @fizatvi.bsky.social and @chloetvi.bsky.social classes for the next two days! @tvinfants.bsky.social @rebeccaolleytvi.bsky.social @laurenskeelstvi.bsky.social

Today Tigers and Giraffes @chloetvi.bsky.social went for a visit to the local church. The priest told us the Christmas story, we listened to Christmas songs and even did some crafting what a lovely morning @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social @fizatvi.bsky.social

Please remember to bring some change this week!Each day a Year 1 class will run a bake sale, and children will be practising giving change. Join us to support their real-life maths @tvinfants.bsky.social @rebeccaolleytvi.bsky.social @fizatvi.bsky.social @chloetvi.bsky.social @tvioffice.bsky.social

We had an amazing Fun Day today with lots of festive fun. So busy I only managed to get a couple of photos. We bought toys, made lots of Christmas decorations and enjoyed the cafe! What a lovely day @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social @fizatvi.bsky.social @chloetvi.bsky.social

Tigers (and all our lovely Year 1 and Year 2 children at TVI) enjoyed a very exciting video call from Father Christmas in the North Pole during assembly. We can’t wait to see him at Fun Day tomorrow. We ended with a fab dance too @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social @tvijames.bsky.social

Uh oh Tigers had a cheeky visitor this morning. Sparkles is back to check everyone is down the mountain and Father Christmas can come to Fun Day. He parachuted into our vets. I wonder where he will end up tomorrow? @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social @tvi-families.bsky.social

One very proud Tiger asked if he could carry on writing on the whiteboard in class. He wrote the sentences from writing lessons this week. Look at those tall letters, finger spaces and I even spy an adjective @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social @fizatvi.bsky.social @chloetvi.bsky.social

In PE today we made a dance where we moved like a penguin and a seal. We were sliding, waddling, rolling and flapping and we even performed for each other changing our action on command @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social @fizatvi.bsky.social @chloetvi.bsky.social

Tigers had a brilliant day at Stepney Farm today. We loved getting the bus and train! When we arrived we looked at all the animals, explored the plants and talked about how food gets to the shops @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social @fizatvi.bsky.social @chloetvi.bsky.social

What a lovely cooking together we had in Tigers today! Thank you to all the amazing parents and carers that came to support. We almost had a full house @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social @fizatvi.bsky.social @chloetvi.bsky.social

In Maths this week children are practising making 10. Here a very clever tiger knew her number bonds to 10 and confidently played hit the button @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social @fizatvi.bsky.social @chloetvi.bsky.social

In Tigers this week we learnt about Autumn and all the things we see at this time of year. One group collected some Autumn leaves and made their own collage @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social @chloetvi.bsky.social @fizatvi.bsky.social

What a lovely week we’ve had this week before half term. In Tigers we wrote our own version of Dear Zoo called Dear Farm. Can you guess which children were acting as horses, hens and a perfect puppy to keep? @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social @fizatvi.bsky.social @chloetvi.bsky.social

What a great PE lesson today. We practised skipping and changing direction. One child led the children with a tambourine to signal when to change direction. Confident children listening well to instructions @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social @fizatvi.bsky.social @chloetvi.bsky.social

This week in Maths we have been counting in twos and today we were identifying odd and even numbers. We have been sorting numbers into odd and even and then singing a song all about the 2 times table @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social @fizatvi.bsky.social @chloetvi.bsky.social

During Geography today we walked to the local shop to see what it sold. We needed to buy jam, bread and butter and the children really enjoyed looking at what we could buy and very sensibly found what we needed. @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social @laurenskeelstvi.bsky.social

Please join us for the Year 1 Literacy Meeting after school at 3:15pm. Come along to hear how we support reading and writing, & how you can help at home! @tvinfants.bsky.social @tvioffice.bsky.social @tvi-families.bsky.social @rebeccaolleytvi.bsky.social @fizatvi.bsky.social @chloetvi.bsky.social

In Writing today Tigers were exploring different words for went. We went around an obstacle course in the hall with different actions to do at each point. We hopped, skipped, danced and jumped. We loved it @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social @chloetvi.bsky.social @fizatvi.bsky.social

This week in Maths Tigers have been learning about tall, short and long. Children enjoyed using the screen to click which was the tallest, shortest or longest. Lots of talking to compare the items and then measured our heights in class too @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social

Tigers went on a walk this afternoon to see the different shops we have near school for Geography. Lots of talking about what you can get from each shop @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social very sensible children who were excited to share what they knew!

We have had a lovely first week in Year 1. Tigers have settled into Year 1 beautifully and today enjoyed a very exciting golden time @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social we had shaving foam, messy play, colouring, pancakes and loads of toys to play with! We thoroughly enjoyed it! ⭐️

Goodbye and good luck to my wonderful Lions! It has been an absolute pleasure to be your teacher this year and I know you will all be amazing in Year 3! @tvinfants.bsky.social @tvijames.bsky.social have a lovely summer before new adventures in September!

Lions have been writing all about the Gruffalo. To finish off the week we made our very own Gruffalo crumble. Poppies joined us too! It was delicious @tvinfants.bsky.social @laurenskeelstvi.bsky.social we added purple prickles, black tongues, orange eyes and green poisonous warts!

And if that wasn’t enough before a long golden time two very confident pupil head teachers also led a KS1 assembly reading a story and reminding children to stay safe in hot weather. Finished off with a thoughtful prayer too! What a lovely day had by all @tvinfants.bsky.social

I spy pupil teachers teaching. I’ve found a PE, Maths, Science, Art and Circle Time. Children teaching teachers a lesson! Lovely to see for our pupil Head Teachers day @tvinfants.bsky.social

Beata and the Pupil Headteachers have taken over my Office as they lead the School for the day. There’s a job list, biscuits and balloons! They’ll have lots of fun! Thanks @rebeccaolleytvi.bsky.social for organising a great day.

And Pupil Head teachers day is off to a flying start. Already busy checking classes in school and finding out what everyone is up to today @tvinfants.bsky.social

Wow what a hot couple of days ☀️Lions found a fun way to keep cool while listening to a story and doing Music! @tvinfants.bsky.social @tvijames.bsky.social @adamdobsontvi.bsky.social

Year 2 enjoyed a visit from Florence Nightingale today. We learnt a lot more about her life what she did in the past and what we have learnt from her. Lions were really engaged listening to tales of the past @tvinfants.bsky.social @tvijames.bsky.social

Lions enjoyed PE today…practising rolling, bouncing and throwing to our partner. We had to aim and wait for the ‘go’ before throwing. Each time we tried to get even more skilled at aiming and moved further away from each other! @tvinfants.bsky.social @tvijames.bsky.social

Today we had some special visitors in Lions. We held and cleaned out our new chickens so we could make their home nice and tidy. We wrote about what we did using lots of describing words. We loved it when they started to fly @tvinfants.bsky.social @tvijames.bsky.social @adamdobsontvi.bsky.social t
