The children have returned to school as enthusiastic as ever. We’ve made the most of every minute this week and have immersed ourselves in our new learning.

The mornings have been a little darker this week but the children have loved exploring our autumnal school grounds. We went on an Autumn treasure hunt and spotted lots of signs of Autumn, using our five senses.

What does it mean to be kind? This week in Year One we have read the story, Be Kind, and have thought deeply about how we can be the kindest versions of ourselves.

Our week in Year One has been jam packed with learning. The children continue to impress me everyday with their enthusiasm and love for learning and despite the wet weather and gloomy skies, nothing has stopped us from smiling and shining!

We’ve had a wonderful time this week in Year 1. We’ve been scientists, classifying animals; mathematicians using number lines and have sung our hearts out in music. We’ve been very busy!

From ‘heads, shoulders, knees and toes’, to vegetable crime scenes…we’ve had a very busy and exciting week in Year One.

Our first full week in Year One has been fantastic. The children have continued to wow me everyday with their enthusiasm for learning and brilliant Cooper Crab focus.

Our first ‘week’ in Year One, has been short, sweet and truly wonderful!

Hello and welcome to the Year 1 blog page!

In the blink of an eye, the final day of Year 1 has arrived. Despite the many challenges the world has thrown at us this year, we have all arrived safely at the Summer Holidays, with brilliant brains and huge hearts.

My wonderful Year 1 families and children, all I can say is thank you. Thank you for being so understanding, thank you for your kindness and thank you for your continued support. Myself and the Year 1 Team are so upset and disappointed that our bubble has popped, but I am so grateful we got so close to the end of the year!

We’ve had another busy week in Year 1 and have had so much fun growing our brains. I can hardly believe we only have two more weeks of school - we are going to be making the most of every moment together!

Despite feeling under the weather myself this week, Miss Bassett has loved spending extra special time with the children and I’ve heard wonderful things about how hard they have been working.

This week in Year 1 has been nothing short of wonderful! On Tuesday we had our Sports Day and I could not have been prouder of the children. The enthusiasm, determination and resilience they showed was outstanding… not to mention their amazing sportsmanship! I hope you enjoy looking at the photos below and sharing in the excitement.

It was lovely to welcome the children back to school on Monday and hear all about their half-term adventures. We will be making the most of every moment of the next six weeks; the children have already shown how determined they are to grow their brains as much as they can before Year 2.

This week in Year 1 we have been writing so much, even the pencil sharpeners need a half-term!

We have had a very special week in Year 1 and have now released five beautiful butterflies into God’s world.

The Year 1 classroom is full of excitement and anticipation - the caterpillars are now chyrsalis’ and are awaiting their first flight in the butterfly net.

The class has been filled with 30 Bobby Bees this week; the children have amazed me with their love of learning and growing their brains.

There’s never a dull moment in Year One and this week certainly hasn’t disappointed!
