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!
