Year 1 - Busy Fridays!

Hi everyone,

We have a busy couple of Fridays coming up in year 1 that we would like to remind you about and invite you along to!

This Friday is our class assembly at 9.20am - everyone is welcome to this. 

Next Friday (5th July) is our Prince of Wales Dance Day 2019! After last years Dance Day, each class is going again to bring you their own dance! Parents are welcome into school from 2.30pm next Friday to see what we get up to! 

We look forward to welcoming you into school for both of these events!

Year 1 - Assembly Next Friday...

Hi everyone,

A first reminder that next Friday will be the Year 1 class assembly for the summer term! This will begin at 9.20am as usual. 

Every child will be coming home with their line(s). If you find a spare 5 minutes at home to practice then we would be very grateful! 

We are looking forward to showing you what we have started practicing.

Year 1 - Land Ahoy!

Hi everyone,

So this afternoon year 1 got to take the boats they had brilliantly made for a spin...! It was so great to see not a single boat looking anything like any of the others! Some wonderful creativity and application. Thank you for all the effort and time you have put in at home, there was much fun to be had with them. This week we will be finishing our topic of pirates and moving on to a fortnight of Mary Poppins! Kites anyone?

Year 1 - Great Trip to the Riverlab!

Hello everyone,

Year 1 had a fantastic trip to the Riverlab on Friday. The weather was a bit sketchy to begin the day with but this did not deter the children from their tasks. 

We began by collecting samples from the river itself to use in the afternoon. This was great fun and I think everyone got a little bit wet through doing this... Having said this, nobody actually fell in! 

In the afternoon we went back to the lab and began to investigate all the things that we had caught in our samples earlier on. There were some very keen-eyed observations by the children and some fantastic observational drawings with scientific labels. 

Everyone appeared to fully enjoy the day and took part in a very mature and sensible manner. 

I hope to have a photostory on the TV for when you come in tomorrow so you can get a flavour of what we got up to!

Year 1 - Friday's Trip to Riverlab

Hello everyone,

Welcome back to the second half of the summer term! I hope you're as excited as I am... Its going to be great fun -the sun might even come out for a bit too.

This Friday we have our trip to Riverlab with the year 1 class. If you haven't already done so please could we have your consent forms back to us by Thursday as we will need these. For the day itself we are expecting some rain but this shouldn't stop us from pushing ahead. To be prepared for this trip we would ask that you send children in to school with the following bits for the day. 

• Wet suit/trousers - many of the children have these at school for Forest School and can just change when they get here or take it home the night before. 
• Wellies - again, many of these are at school.
• Raincoat 
• Spare socks AND trousers - this will be because it is highly likely that the children will be in the river at some point and the water can go over the top of their wellies! 
• Water bottle and a snack.

Please feel free to send this stuff into school in a separate, named bag. Children are welcome to wear play clothes to school that you wouldn't mind getting wet and potentially muddy. 

If your child usually has a school dinner this will be replaced with a packed lunch. If you usually send in a packed lunch, please do so as usual for this day.

We are very much looking forward to this trip. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to come and speak to us.
