To all of my wonderful Year 1 families, I just want to say thank you. I am beyond grateful for all of the extra learning you do with the children at home; I know how much the children love sharing their learning with you. They have made wonderful progress since September and every step has been magical. I could not be prouder of them!

Today we had our Christmas jumper day, full of festive cheer! The children had so much fun on their Christmas Treasure Hunt. It was so wonderful watching them work co-operatively together to fill Santa’s beard.

We have had such a lovely week in Year 1, reflecting on the birth of Jesus and the beginning of Advent. The children have written their own advent promises, along with a prayer to God, thanking him for the miracle of Jesus’ birth.

This week has flown by and I can hardly believe we’re nearly in December! One of my highlights this week has been watching the children at break times. It has been wonderful to see the children all playing kindly and co-operatively together.

The children have worked so hard this week and have really challenged their brilliant brains, especially in maths! On Tuesday we had Online Safety Day. We had lots of discussion about communicating online and the importance of always being kind. The children then sent emails to story book characters, such as The Big Bad Wolf and Goldilocks. It was lovely to see how these children communicated kindly even though they didn’t agree with the choices of these characters.

We have had a wonderful week in year 1. Our lessons on remembrance, have been particularly thought provoking and touching to the year 1 children.

Welcome back year 1!

This week has been jam-packed with Supertato writing. A huge thank you for supporting the children with the story maps, they all knew every word and it has made such a difference to their confidence when writing it down!

The children have wowed me this week. They are all becoming independent learners and thinkers - the work they are producing is wonderful.

What a busy week we have had in Year 1!

The Evil Pea is on the loose!

The sun has been shining this week and so have the little rays of sunshine in the Year 1 classroom.

This week has been jam packed with learning and the Year 1 children have worked their little socks off!

What a wonderful week we have had in Year One. The children all came into school on Tuesday, full of smiles and overjoyed to be reunited with their school friends.

September is just around the corner and before we know it, Tuesday will be here. I am so looking forward to welcoming your children back to school and beginning a new year of learning adventures.

Another week of learning to celebrate!
