Welcome Back Year 1!

What a wonderful week it has been in year 1, we will ignore the weather and cancelled trips and focus on the positive - that is the children and their wonderful learning.

This week we have bought the zoo to the children by reading a story all about a zoo vet who is very caring and helps all kinds of animals.  The children have enjoyed being zoo vets themselves, using their writing skills to record treatments and book appointments for the animals.  It has been wonderful to see how caring your children are.  We have also built animal enclosures (when the weather allowed) and hunted for some missing animals.

We have also been practicing our cutting, joining and assembling skills in our class activities especially in DT where the children have managed to complete their Windmills.  These were designed specifically for a mouse.  I'm sure the children will enjoy telling you all about how they made them.

We have also had an adventure this afternoon and some very special ferocious beasts.

Above all everyone has returned to school with great attitudes to learning and have shown how ready they are for the next challenge.  Well done year 1.

Next week we are back to usual timetable on Thursday, with Forest Schools on Thursday afternoon.  Please make sure your child has a coat and outdoor footwear to change into for this session (I don't think the weather is going to improve much).  We will be continuing with PE on a Friday morning, PE kits need to be in school for the children to change into.

Last but not least we have had an umbrella go missing from the year 1 locker area.  It has dinosaurs on it and it changes colour in the rain.  If you have seen one around please let a member of the team know.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask a member of the team.

Many Thanks

The year 1 team.
