‘All things are difficult before they are easy.’

The Year 1 classroom is full of excitement and anticipation - the caterpillars are now chyrsalis’ and are awaiting their first flight in the butterfly net. I’m so proud of how gentle and thoughtful the children have been around the caterpillars.

Considering we have had a shorter week this week, we have still done lots of wonderful learning. From seasons on the farm to Jesus meeting his disciples in the Upper Room…we’ve been very busy!


What have we been learning this week?

In Maths this week, the children did a Lizzie Ladybird Challenge to identify the gaps in their learning and areas they can improve on. I look forward to sharing their mini targets with you next week.

In English, the children have begun retelling the story of The Caveman Next Door and have been such Cooper Crabs. The children are all challenging themselves to write in their neatest handwriting, so that they can read their story back to themselves

In RHE, we continued our learning about friendship and how to resolve conflicts with friends. The children role played how they could communicate their feelings using their words.


Hip-Hip-Hooray!
