We had a FANTASTIC and very festive day celebrating Christmas with our class mates as well as taking a trip to ‘The Forum’ to watch the first performance of ‘Cinderella’. Many thanks to our wonderful Year 1 team and helpers for getting us to the venue safely. We had a fun filled day and enjoyed…

A brilliant effort was made by the boys and girls of Year 1 for our class bauble competition. We were so impressed by the standard that everyone who entered won a treat! 
 

The boys and girls have made such a huge effort with their handwriting this term and, as you can see, it is really paying off and we can’t wait to share more of their fantastic work. 
 

We had a brilliant day wearing our Christmas jumpers to school. 
 

We are grateful to ‘Green Watch’ who visited our class to help us learn more about modern day firefighting as part of our Great Fire of London topic. What a fantastic afternoon we had!

Each week we have been making a huge effort to read at home at least 5 times. This week many of the year boys and girls read 7, 8 or 9 times with a grown up outside of school. We are very proud of our reading journey so far! 
 

Year 1 have been working hard at home to get 'Strive for Five'.  Every week, during Autumn 2, over 20 boys and girls have read over 5 times at home with a parent, caregiver, grandparent or sibling.

This week Year 1 had a brilliant time recreating the timeline of 'The Great Fire of London'.  We identified key moments using different sources and the put our acting skills in to gear.

We took a wet tour of Roose Village with out VIP guest Mrs Shaw. This was part of our ‘My Local Area’ topic for Geography. We are making a 3D map of North Row and can not wait to show you.

Thank you to our wonderful Year 1 parents for popping by our classroom to read with us. What a fantastic morning!
