What an incredible first week back we have had with our lovely Year 1 cohort. The children have amazed us with how they have managed such a big transition from EYFS to Year 1. They are such a polite, funny and loving bunch of children and we are so excited to be able to spend Year 1 together.

This year, instead of Parent Information Evenings, we have made a welcome video and would like to invite you and your child to see their new classroom after school on Monday 14th September.

Learning this week:

English - We will be researching about our class names and writing about some of the animals you may find in the Bourne and Stour rivers.

Maths - We will begin our first unit learning about the concept of before and after as well as the days of the week and months of the year.

Science - We will be learning to identify the basic parts of a human body and find them on a diagram. 

Computing - We will begin our computing unit by completing an E-Safety unit to remind us how to stay safe online.

Art - We will be starting our unit on optical illusions.

Phonics - We will be assessing each child this week and beginning our new Little Wandle scheme next week using this baseline information.

Worship Theme This Week:

You are Special. – Max Lucado

We are all brilliant and we can all achieve anything we want. This school year is a new one, but we must build on good things and mistakes that have happened in the past.
