Year 1 Family and Friends Curriculum Day

23rd September 202022nd September 2020

We had a Curriculum Day on Friday to launch our new topic ‘Family and Friends’. It was a slightly different curriculum day (as we did our learning jobs in class), but we were able to complete activities set by different teachers from across the school who had pre-filmed lessons for us to do!

Our favourite activity was the Art activity where we created our own crowns. Take a look at some of the pictures of our work examples! We are also really proud of our ribbon weaving on the fence outside our classroom too.

Week 2 – planting seeds

23rd September 202018th September 2020

We had a wonderful time this week planting our own seeds. We chose somebody at home to give it to as a gift and made a special note to go with it. If you were the lucky person who received the seed as a gift, we hope you enjoy it! Ask the children to remind you how to look after your seed to help it grow.

Starting Reception

16th September 2020

We have had a fantastic time getting to know the children in their first few days at school! The children have settled in brilliantly and have enjoyed exploring their classrooms.

This week the children have been looking closely to create super self portraits.

Internet Matters have designed a simple checklist to give families peace of mind regarding their child’s safety on the internet. You may find it useful to take a look at the poster below for guidance with this.

Welcome to our Year 2 blog!

14th September 2020

Welcome to our Year 2 blog! Please check in weekly to see what we have been up to at school.
What a brilliant first week back! The grownups have been so impressed at the resilience shown by all of the children in the way they have returned to school during such unique circumstances. We have spent time focusing on how we can all do our bit to help keep everybody safe, whilst catching up with our friends and doing lots of fun learning!

In Maths, we have been ordering numbers and using our knowledge of tens and ones to help us count amounts to 100. Our topic is all about plants and we will be sending home a seed with each child for them to use their expertise to look after and grow!

Please check your Seesaw accounts weekly, as that is where all home learning activities will be posted this year. Your login is the same as it was last year but if you have any trouble, please contact us.

Week One in Year One!

23rd September 202014th September 2020

We have had a fantastic first week in Year One! The children have been so passionate and excited about their learning which has been fantastic to see.

In class, we started reading a new book called ‘Here We Are’ by Oliver Jeffers which the children have really enjoyed. Inspired by this, the children created their own planet stained glass windows.

We strongly recommend that you look at a variety of schools to help you to make informed choices. Secondary Schools often hold information events and Open Evenings; as yet we are unsure what provision will be made for this academic year in light of the Covid-19 outbreak. We suggest families keep an eye on the High School’s websites and will inform you of any further information we receive from Secondary Schools.

Welcome to Reception

8th September 2020

We are so excited to see your smiling faces tomorrow. Follow the signs to the Fieldfare Entrance and then come on down to the playground gate, where you will be able to drop off your child for the next three days. We will have the bubbles going and hopefully you will be able to spot some familiar faces from the story-time videos. We can’t wait to see you!
