Spring 2 saw us learning about toys and games now and then. We looked at toys and games from the Victorian era and also took part in the History Van's workshop, which the children thoroughly enjoyed. We learned how to write short adventure stories including creating our own mini animations using different toys and games. In Maths, we started to look at numbers to 50, length, height, capacity, volume and mass in our measurement units. We looked at weather and seasons again in Science and did lots of scientific observations and experiments. Another great half-term of learning!
In Spring 1, we have been learning out Florence Nightingale and why she is a significant figure in nursing. We learned how to write a diary based on her experiences in Scutari and how to write a fiction diary based on Vlad the flea. In maths, we learned about numbers to 20 and how to add and subtract with these numbers. In Science, we learned about the senses and our bodies including our skeleton. In D & T, we learned about healthy eating and how to design and create our own fruit salads. In RE, we learned about the good news that Jesus and his disciples helped to spread to Christians. Another fun, but busy half-term with lots of learning!
In Autumn 2, Year 1 have been learning how to design, make and evaluate different Christmas decorations, how to perform for an audience with the Christmas nativity, how to write an adventure story set in Australia and Antarctica. We know the different between add and subtract, as well as, 2D and 3D shapes. We have been grouping animals in Science and learning why Christmas is important to Christians in RE. We have been colour mixing and creating digital artwork in Art and Computing and learning about the world we live in. A busy but fun-packed half-term!
Safer Internet Day
On Tuesday 8th February 2022 it was Safer Internet Day. Throughout school, we discussed ways that technology in and outside of school support our everyday life. We discussed ways to stay safe online including age restrictions on social media websites. If you require more information on Safer Internet Day please go on the following website.

Egg Decorating
WOW!! Just WOW!!
The response have been overwhelming to the note sent out by Mrs Eyre.
We thought that with the short-notice we might only have a few takers. Over 100 of you took up the challenge and sent in a marvelous effort, and for that you all get a big THANK YOU!!
As part of the Easter celebrations, I asked Maddy, the Community Champion from Morrisons, to donate some eggs to school so that we could make the occasion more special. In return for the donation, we have created some Easter cards which Morrisons will add to some of their Easter deliveries.
One good turn deserves another!
Whilst Maddy was with us, I invited her down to look at the eggs, and she was that bowled over, she has chosen a favourite egg from each class. These children will receive an Easter egg donated by Morrisons.
I will announce the children whose eggs made Maddy smile in Friday's Star of the Week assembly. They will then be posted on here.
In the meantime, feast your eyes on all of the wonderful creations.
Parents - many thanks for helping make this happen.
The Whale Is Back!
Thanks to the fabulous efforts of Neil (a mate of Forest Schools Graham), we have a willow whale again.
He has crafted seats on the inside too, so when it gets a bit sunny and we can all be near each other again, it can be a place of quiet relaxation.
The spare willow is also available on the field for den-making and to help resource our Forest Schools provision.
Please treat it with respect.
Welcome to the gallery! Please enjoy browsing the children’s work.
