have a positive ‘can do’ attitude towards school and learning and know the behaviour expectations in order to be ready for the next stage in their education

Let it Grow

We have reached the end of another fabulous topic. Here is a song that celebrates all the amazing things we have been learning about.

You’ve got a friend in me!

To help us remember our Christian value ‘friendship’. We really enjoyed learning this song.

God save the Queen!

We have been learning about the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

We can eat a banana like the Queen!

Class 1 is looking very bright and cheerful.

All fresh and clean!

All the children enjoyed planning and making their own fruit salad!

We practised safely using tools to peel carrots.

Look how much we have grown!

We are being very gentle with the chicks.

We have 10 chicks! 🐣

The children have been observing the eggs in the incubator and waiting patiently for the chicks to hatch.

Spring term

We made fossils.

Mrs Rex came to visit us!

African drumming!

The children thoroughly enjoyed the African drumming session. They had the opportunity to learn how to play the drums, practised following a beat and even had a chance to freestyle.

African Drumming Workshop - Iroko

Rakes of Mallow

The children had fun learning this traditional Irish folk dance to celebrate St Patrick’s Day.

I appreciate…

In PSHE the children have been learning about their rights and responsibilities. This week we discussed how we can look after our family. They thought about all the hard work their grown ups do to look after them. This is an appreciation video.

Appreciate - to be thankful and to recognise the good qualities of someone or something.

Our exciting bubble workshop!

We measured our height.

World Book Day - Dress as an adjective

We have been learning about symmetry

Shrove Tuesday - Pancake race

We have been learning about perseverance!

Our Christian value this half term is perseverance. The Class 1 children have been learning the song ‘try everything’ from the movie Zootropolis. In Zootropolis, Judy Hops (the bunny) persevered to become a police officer even though it was hard work, she never gave up!
