Year One are taking part in a Kindness Challenge during Lent.  We have decided to try to help others during this time.   The children have created jars or envelopes to put all their acts of kindness into.  When Lent is over they will be able to look back to see just how kind they have been.  We…

Year 1 have enjoyed learning all about Chinese New Year. We researched about the traditions, enjoyed making lanterns and  writing instructions. We even managed some Kung Fu P.E. and learnt how to say "Hello". Amelia found out how to write her name in Chinese and then we all had a go. Great work…

Year One has enjoyed lots of activities linked to Julia Donaldson’s The Snail and The Whale. They created story maps of the original story and then created their own versions. We worked hard to spot all the rhyming words and then chose our own rhyming words to go in our own stories. We created…

Year 1 responded by sending in photos to show the range of things that make them feel happy.  We chatted in our Zoom lesson to explain more.  The children spoke of having brothers and sisters to play with…

Year 1 have enjoyed investigating floating and sinking at home.  They selected various objects around the house to test.  They predicted and then tested the different materials.  Great home learning Year 1.  

We are getting on with our home learning brilliantly.  A big thank you to parents and carers for supporting the children with the tasks set.  Keep it up. 

Today during our special Christmas jumper and craft day we received a surprise visit!  The main man himself, Santa stopped by to give everyone a wave.  This made our day extra magical and we can’t thank Santa and his helpers enough for this wonderful surprise.  The children were over joyed to…

What a fabulous spooky day we all had.  Harold our class skeleton had the time of his life!  We enjoyed  making spooky crafts and reading the story Funny Bones.  Everyone looked fantastic in their costumes. 

We used Numicon to explore making number bonds that make 10.  We had lots of fun exploring using Numicon and using it to check our answers.  Great work.
