    • Week 4 Overview

      Published 27/01/26

      Year 1 have had another exciting week full of stories, hands-on learning and curiosity!

      We read the story of Rapunzel and even wrote wanted posters for the witch, thinking carefully about her appearance and actions in the story.

      In Maths, we recapped 3D shapes, exploring their faces, edges and vertices, and talking about the properties that make each shape unique.

      We also got to plant cress seeds in different materials - tissue, cotton wool, sand, rocks and soil - and made predictions about which ones we think will grow best. We can’t wait to watch and record the results over the coming weeks!

      A brilliant week of imagination, exploration and growing minds!

      Published 27/01/26

      Year 1 have had a fantastic week full of stories, learning and hands-on activities!

      We enjoyed reading Little Red Riding Hood, describing the wolf in detail and retelling the story using our own words. The children loved acting out the parts and imagining the adventure through the forest.

      The children had a super engaging tag rugby workshop led by Premier Education. They practised running, passing and teamwork skills in fun, active games. Everyone took part with great energy, improving their coordination and learning how to work together as a team.

      In Maths, we explored the concepts of heavier and lighter. We had a practical challenge guessing how many blocks each object weighed and then testing our predictions—everyone loved experimenting and comparing the results!

      In Science, we learnt the difference between deciduous and evergreen trees, identifying examples and talking about how they change through the seasons.

      We also practised plaiting in preparation for our upcoming Rapunzel books, ready to add hair to our main character.

      Finally, we completed another phonics test and were really impressed with the children’s scores—well done! Keep on reading at home to keep up the fantastic progress.

      A brilliant week of learning, movement, creativity and fun!

      We have had another busy and exciting week in Year One! 

      The children loved reading and retelling The Enormous Watermelon, joining in with the repeated phrases and acting out the characters as they worked together. In Maths we focused on number bonds to 10 and 20, consolidating our knowledge through word problems and practical activities. 

      We also spent time discussing how Christians can show their love to God, sharing ideas about kindness, prayer and going to Church. Geography took us around the world as we located the equator on a map and found out how it affects the weather across the globe. To finish, we made the background pages for our moving books as part of our new DT project! 

      Another wonderful week of learning and teamwork.

      Welcome back to the Spring Term! We hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Christmas break. The children have all come back to school brilliantly, full of smiles, energy and ready to learn! 

      We have had a busy week! In English, we read the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and had great fun talking about the characters and the giant's castle. In Maths, we practised counting in 2s, 5s and 10s, spotting the patterns and joining in with counting songs and activities. 

      We learnt about the countries and capital cities of the United Kingdom, learning their names and finding them all on our own maps. In Science, we labelled a plant and described the functions of each part. 

      A brilliant start to our Spring Term, we are excited for all the learning and opportunities to come!
