    What a wonderfully festive and exciting week we've had in Year 1 to end the Autumn Term. 

    We took part in a magical Polar Express workshop with Stagecoach, where the children loved drama, movement and storytelling. We made lots of beautiful Christmas crafts, filling our classroom with sparkle and festive cheer. We also visited St James' Church for our Christmas service, enjoying time to reflect and sing together. 

    The whole school went to Westlands to watch the pantomime Beauty and the Beast, which was full of laughter, music and excitement. A huge thank you to the PTA for paying for this wonderful trip! 

    To finish off the term, we had a fantastic Year 1 party, celebrating with games, music and lots of smiles! 

    We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas break and thank you all once again for your continued support.

    What a magical and memorable week in Year 1! 

    We completed and performed our nativity to all of our wonderful parents. The children were absolutely amazing and we would like to say a big thank you to everyone who came to watch and support us. 

    In Maths, we began learning about money, practising how to recognise coins and different amounts. In English, we enjoyed the beautiful Russian story of Babushka, talking about kindness and generosity. We even found time to write letters to Father Christmas, thinking carefully about our handwriting and what we would like for Christmas. 

    To make the week even more special, we were lucky enough to have a surprise visit from Father Christmas, arriving by helicopter! The children were absolutely amazed! 

    A truly festive and unforgettable week!

    This week in Year 1 has been full of creativity and discovery! 

    We finished our fantastic Christmas dictionaries and the children were very proud of their festive words and illustrations. In Maths, we learnt subtraction by drawing our own number lines and using them to help us count back with confidence. 

    In Science, we explored how the Earth moves around the Sun by making our own simple models, which helped us to understand day, night and the changing seasons. We also had an exciting DT day, where we learnt how to stitch and create our own animal puppets. The children showed amazing concentration and produced some wonderful puppets! 

    Another brilliant week of learning and fun!
