In RE, Year 1 have been exploring ‘patience’ – one of the Fruits of the Spirit. We thought about what patiences means to us. We know we have to be patience and wait for a lot of things such as lining up, sharing toys and taking in turns in speak.
We have been practising being patience and looked at different times we have to be patience. We thought about things we are looking forward to doing in Year 1, and how it cannot happen straight away. We know that we have to work hard and wait nicely for great things to happen!

Year 1 have settled into their classroom and routines amazingly! They have really enjoyed their first week getting to know their new teachers and exploring their new classroom environment. The children were great at thinking about ideas for our class rules and how to keep safe in school. We have had lots of fun and we are looking forward to what the year brings.
This week in Year 1, we had a fantastic opportunity to explore the forest area with Mrs Grant. The children created bird’s nest for all the little birdies that visit our forest school area. It was especially challenging as we had to use tweezer to create our bird’s nests. We used all the natural materials we could find.
Year 1 have had an amazing week learning all about keeping healthy. We have learnt all about keeping our bodies healthy by eating well and exercising ofte, but also how to look after our teeth and our minds.
Year 1 and Year 2 joined together for some activities which we all really enjoyed! We also hosted a parent workshop all about health. We all worked so hard and received certificates to show how fantastic we are!
In Year 1, we have been exploring different materials and their properties. The superheroes needed our help and Year 1 came to the rescue! Superman needed a waterproof cape and Batman needed a new batcave. Year 1 have been scientist predicting, investigating and recording their findings.
Year 1 really enjoyed sports day! We took part in a range of activities such as archery, football, netball and rounders. We also took part in an assault course which we all loved! We all received gold medals because we are all winners!
Year 1 have worked extremely hard with their phonics and reading. They completed their phonics check this week. We had a little surprise to treat the children for their hard work and perseverance.
Today in Year 1, we had our Phonics workshop for parents. The children were confident to show the parents how fantastic they are at phonics. We showed the parents how we read words by looking for digraphs and sounding out the words. Then the parents joined us for lots of phonics activities and we had lots of fun!
In Year 1 we have been learning all about Judaism. We wrote non-chronological reports and made posters about the ten commandments. We also learnt about a special festival called Shavout and made ice cream out of bags! We really enjoyed printing in art, where we looked at different symbols that represent Judaism and used paint to transfer it onto paper. We have had a really fun week and look forward to adding all of our work into the Into-faith big book for you all to see!
Year 1 have been learning all about Buddhism. We have read many stories about the Buddhists and their special practices. Today we performed the story of the Buddha to the whole school and our parents.
