We would like to say a huge 'Thank you' to all our children and parents of Year 1 for their super chocolate donations today. We really appreciate it! 🍫 🍪

This week in our music lesson we have been learning how to play the glockenspiels. The children experienced playing ‘Jingle Bells’ and getting in to the Christmas spirit. They also discussed and acted out some music actions, such as clapping, twisting, Ninja moves and jumping.

To help support children's reading and their recognition of the Common Exception Words (Red Words) we have created a video file that you can watch and read together. We will be using this video in class to further support recognition; the Common Exception Words can also be found in the back of your child's Reading Diary.

During yesterday's History lesson in Year 1 the children enjoyed investigating toys from the past.

In Year 1 we have spent the afternoon learning about the history of Children in Need, we then created our own Pudsey Bear ears. Don’t we look fabulous?

At 11am, Year 1 children took part in a 2 minutes silence to reflect, show respect and honour people who have been involved in war and conflict since WW1 and remember those we have lost. We also watched this short video: https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/poppies The BBC Children's remembrance film Poppies is a beautiful and evocative animation that sees war as experienced by animals in a WWI battlefield.

To finish off our topic in English about The Rainbow Fish, the children have been using their artistic skills to prepare pieces of art work for our corridor display. Together they have painted the giant octopus and created paper chain tentacles, they have painted a variety of fish, adding their own bit of sparkle and designed other fish out of paper plates. Lots of fun was had by all x

School Council would like to take the time to say a huge thank you to all of the children who brought in a donation for the shoebox appeal in support of Operation Christmas Child. The gifts that you provided will go a long way to help support a child who does not have much.

Year 1 have been learning about the meaning of Remembrance Day. We have been exploring and discussing the different colours of the poppies and what each colour symbolises. We have worked together in our classes to create our own Remembrance Day wreaths.
