The class have had a fantastic week and have settled in to year one amazingly! We started this term discussing all the amazing adventures the children got up to over the summer and finding out what they would like to learn this year. Turns out we have a lot of future divers in the class!

PE will be on Monday and Tuesday afternoons so please make sure your children have the appropriate clothing for these sessions.

We have golden time every Friday after lunch. This allows the children to bring one toy in from home to play with.

Please make sure you pay via the office if you wish for your child to have milk at break time.

Sharing Friday begins again on Friday 13th September if you wish to join us after school. ‘Meet the teacher’ for Year One will be on Tuesday 17th September at 9am. This is last for approximately 30 minutes. I look forward to seeing you all then.

Any questions, feel free to speak to me before or after school. If you wish for a longer meeting, please arrange through the office.

I am really looking forward to an exciting year with your children.

I hope you have a relaxing weekend.

I would like to say a huge thank you for all your kind words, cards and gifts but also for your support since I have been teaching year 1.

I have really enjoyed teaching the class through the summer term and watching them blossom ready for year 2 with Mrs Hayes, where I am sure they shall continue to be enthusiastic learners.

If you find yourself with a spare minute, please try to fit in some reading with your child and ask them to write any adventures they get up to, practising joining letters together.

I wish you all a very relaxing summer and hope the warm weather continues!

It has been a very busy week for year 1, but I would like to cast back to last weeks class assembly which the children put so much effort into. Mrs Ruffell and I were so impressed with the motivation and confidence year 1 had to showcase just a handful of their recent learning to you and the school. The children really did us proud. Thank you for helping them learn their lines at home. This helped greatly with their confidence and projection.

In science &D&T we are learning the uses of materials to build house for the Three Little Pigs. Last week we usedlego to ensure secure structure and a solid roof to keep the Big Bad Wolf out. This week we have started to use a range of materials to build another house which we shall then test to see whether they are wind and rain proof.

This week we were lucky to have Rush from Judaism for Schools to teach us about her faith. On Thursday she led a workshop for year 1 and provided lots of information about The Story of Moses which we have also be learning about during RE.

Year 1 had lots of fun learning about Judaism and sampling some of the food they have during Passover.
