The children have truly wowed us this week! They took part in their very first full English lesson and completed a Cold Write — a chance for them to show what they can already do. Using a farm picture for inspiration, the children wrote sentences about what they could see. Some extended their ideas using and, while others impressed us with descriptive adjectives to bring their sentences to life.
In Maths, the focus has been on sorting objects, building numbers, and representing them in different ways. The children have been developing their understanding through lots of hands-on activities and are making fantastic progress already.
Our afternoons have been filled with creativity and discovery. In Science, we explored the five senses, while in Geography we looked at the world from an aerial view. In Art, the children created striking pieces inspired by Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. And in PE, we had great fun moving in different ways — slithering like snakes, lumbering like elephants, and hopping like bunnies!
We are so proud of the enthusiasm and energy the children have shown in every lesson. It’s been a busy, brilliant week of learning and fun.
Welcome to Year 1!
What an exciting start we’ve had in Poppy and Daisy Class! This week, the children have been busy getting to know their new classmates and the adults who will be supporting them. Together, we’ve talked about our class rules, helping everyone to feel safe, respected, and ready to learn.
In Maths, the children have been exploring numbers to 10 through counting and practical activities. In handwriting, they’ve started practising their lead-ins, and of course, there’s been plenty of time for play too.
We are so proud of how well the children have adapted to their new routines. They are already showing great enthusiasm and confidence, and we’re looking forward to seeing them rise to the exciting challenges ahead!
