• 17 September – What a busy week!
  Good afternoon. I can not believe that we have come to the end of another week. Once again, the children have been arriving in school in a very calm and happy manner and it is always lovely to be greeted with a smile and a good morning when I open the door. We have been continuing looking at plants. This week we talked about garden plants and the different reasons that people grow them. The children were able to identify tulips, daffodils, roses and apple trees and were able to say if they were a flower or a tree. Our broad beans ...

• Fantastic week!
  What another fantastic week Year 1 have had. We continued to look and learn about the weather and the seasons. This week, the weather has been nice so we decided to have a Spring walk around the school field to find signs of Spring in nature (photos below). The children have thoroughly enjoyed the walk and the plants and flowers around them.   We also have been practicing Phonics in our computing lesson! Where the children used the fantastic new Chromebooks for the first time (photos below).   I have also been impressed with how well the children have been working in literacy ...

  This week we have had our first Secret storyteller. A huge thank you to the lovely storytellers who joined us from NEW ZELAND! We were so delighted to listen to your beautiful story. In Maths, we have worked really hard at counting forwards and backwards. In Literacy, we have been focussing on non-chronological reports about Bats.

The children became Historians, and we looked at the past to ...
• Talented artists!
  This week has been a busy, colourful week, full of colour and creations. Year 1 have worked really hard to create their own piece of art based on Kandinsky. We identified primary and secondary colours. The children have had great fun discovering secondary colours by mixing primary colours. I have been really impressed with how hard the children have worked this week, showing great enthusiasm and determination to create their art pieces. Wishing you all a peaceful break and a Happy Easter.

In Science, we have been learning about the weather and they have had great fun creating role plays as weather reporters. Next ...
