We have had another lovley week in year 1.  

This week we learnt about one of our house heroes - Helen Keller. It was really interesting to learn about her and how resilient she was. The children wrote some fantastic sentences about how she is a hero. We have also been focusing on making sure all our sentences are ‘Super Sentences’, this means ensuring that they all have finger spaces, start with a capital letter, and end with a full stop.    

D.T. was particularly fun this week as we made our healthy snacks. We chose the fruit we wanted to use at the beginning of the week and then we spent an afternoon carefully cutting up and assembling delicious fruit kebabs and fruit salads. 

 

Can you help to make our school beautiful and fun for the children? 

 

 

 

We are enjoying the Year One areas greatly and would love to make them even better!  If you are able to donate any bedding plants, small shrubs or bags of compost we would be so grateful! Please just bring them along to the playground at morning or afternoon drop off/pick up.   

 

Also, we need more sand for our new and huge sandpit so if you’re able to bring along a bag or 2 or sand we’d be thrilled. Thank you!
