Blog for Friday 20^th June 2025

It has been a very exciting and busy time for Year 1. On Tuesday, the children took part in Sports’ Day. They participated in lots of events including, running, jumping, throwing and navigating an obstacle course. The day started with a fun musical warm up for the children. It finished with the parents’ egg and spoon race. Thank you to the parents who were brave enough to take part. 

On Wednesday, Year 1 had a wonderful trip to Wisley Gardens. They were able to explore the gardens in beautiful sunshine and enjoy a picnic lunch outside. All the children enjoyed climbing up to the top of the lavender mound to see a wonderful view of the gardens, lake and glasshouse. They walked through the Jubilee arboretum and were delighted to see plenty of butterflies flitting in the long grass. Back at the learning centre, the children spent time in the sensory garden where they could touch and smell a range of plants; the chocolate mint was especially popular as it ‘smelled of ice cream’.  After this, the children took part in a workshop which included raking and preparing soil for growing beans. They also planted pots of red chard to grow at school. These will need to be watered carefully along with the potato plants which continue to grow in the classroom.
