As part of their DT topic, Year One learnt about where fruit and vegetables grow and how these are part of a balanced diet. They loved tasting different fruits before designing and making their own fruit salad. They were delicious! 

KS1 thoroughly enjoyed their sports day! They worked really hard in their sprint races, Egg and Spoon race and the Potato Race. We saw lots of excellent examples of determination and resilience. Well done everyone! 

Over the last two weeks, the children in Year One have worked very hard to prepare for their Class Assembly. They thoroughly enjoyed showcasing their efforts from the start of the year. We're sure you will agree that they have been learning lots since entering Year One. All staff in the Year One team are so proud of what they have all achieved and we look forward to seeing what is in store for the rest of the year. Well done Year One - you are amazing! 

Year One had a wonderful day celebrating World Book Day. They enjoyed reading the book 'Mad about Minibeasts' which introduced them to lots of different minibeasts through rhyming text. The children used this to inspire their own riddles about different minibeasts! In the afternoon, the children completed some art work based on the work of Brian Wildsmith. The children carefully created beautiful butterfly pictures using chalks. It was a very exciting day and they loved seeing each other's costumes too. 

This afternoon, Father Christmas visited the children in Year One. They enjoyed singing some Christmas songs with him. He even brought all of the children a present! Thank you Father Christmas for visiting us with your elf!

Year One had a fantastic Christmas Party playing lots of games and showing their impressive dance moves! The children enjoyed playing Musical Statues, Christmas Corners and Pass the Parcel. A great time was had by all.  

Today, the children in Year One walked to St John's Church. They learnt all about the altar, stained glass windows, the font and many more artefacts.  They finished the visit by singing songs from their upcoming Nativity performance, their voices filled the church beautifully. Thank you very much to our fabulous children, volunteers and, of course, to Father Tim and Mother Emily as always.

In Writing, the children have been looking at adding the suffix 's' to make a noun plural. To support this, the children enjoyed playing Quiz Quiz Trade. 

This week, Year One have enjoyed their independent learning in the different areas of provision. They have been busy applying their knowledge and skills. Take a look at their busy week!
