Year 1
(Home) School's Out For Summer!
Well done! You've made it to the end of the school year and we are SO proud of all you've achieved at home following our home learning plans. School may now be 'out' but the learning never stops so why not challenge yourself to complete as many of our Summer 2020 activities as you can? We've put together a range of experiences that will help to enrich your understanding of the world and give you lots to talk about when you come back to school. How many can you tick off during the summer? We look forward to seeing and hearing all about it when you return in September. Until then, stay safe and well and have a wonderful, relaxing break. With best wishes from Mrs Pinkerton and the Foundation and Key Stage One Team.

Key Stage One Parents' Information Briefing
As we are unable to hold our 'information evening' for parents of children moving into year 1 and year 2, we have put together this video to share the key information. We hope you find it informative. Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to welcoming your children into their new year groups in September.

Spring Term 1 2020
This term, we step back in time to see what life was like for a Victorian child. We think about the toys they played with, the clothes they wore
and how school was a very different place for them!

Autumn Term 2 in Year 1
As we enter the second part of the Autumn term and the weather changes, we enter a 'winter wonderland' in our year 1 classes and find out more about cold climates. We start our journey in the Arctic and investigate the environment, habitats, animals and people. Please see below for a summary of the activities we have planned...

Cold Climate Landscapes...
Thank you so much to everyone that has sent in a fantastic cold climate landscape. They look amazing in our windows and really add to the feel of our 'Winter Wonderland' topic. We have thoroughly enjoyed looking at and talking about them and it has proved to be a great way to kickstart our topic! Thank you!
Winter Wonderland Fun...
We absolutely LOVE our new Winter Wonderland role play areas. We get to be Arctic explorers looking out for Arctic wildlife. We spot and identify paw prints, keep a tally of the animals we have spotted and take care of any that are injured. We also measure,weigh and tag any animals we find. We find time to cook fish on the barbecue and fire and, of course, remember to wrap up warm whilst reading our non-fiction books about the Arctic. Every day we record the day, the temperature and what we have spotted. Who knew that exploring could be such fun?!
Year 1 Phonics Screening Information Evening
