Happy Chinese New Year



Seasonal changes
In science, we have been learning all about the seasons. We have looked at how the weather changes, how trees and plants might change and what clothes we would wear in different seasons.


My Local Area
We have been exploring what we can see in our local area. The children have thought about what they might see on their journey into school and around their homes. They have also designed towns and thought about how to stay safe by having road crossings near to schools and parks.



Outdoor day - Spring term
We had lots of fun exploring the forest and looking for clues like Hermelin. We found some thank you notes from Hermelin, as we have been great Stewards of God's creation and looked after our outdoor space and the animals that live there.

In Maths, we have been spotting patterns in number by adding one more and in Science, we have been learning about how important our eyes are. We finished our Creation topic in R.E. with a lovely prayer service and have begun our new topic on Families and Celebrations.

Dear Year 1 children and parents,
Welcome to our class page, we are so excited to be able to share what goes on inside and outside of the classroom with you all! Our Year 1 team consists of Mr Worthington (teacher of 1PW), Mrs McConvery (teacher of 1SM), Miss McIntosh, Miss Bramwell and Mrs Naylor; we are all happy to help in any way we can.
Our P.E. days are currently on Monday and Thursdays and just like last year, children can come to school in their PE kit for the whole day. Please remember that no earrings should be worn during lessons and a white round neck t-shirt and plain royal blue shorts/ royal blue or navy tracksuit bottoms should be worn.
We have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the children this week and have already seen lots wonderful personalities shining through!
