Class update from Friday 3^rd July 2026:

Despite some soaring temperatures, it has been an exciting and busy time for Year 1. Last week, the class walked to the Rose Theatre to see the author Chitra Sounder read Pattan’s Pumpkin, a book the children know very well, having been an English focus book in the autumn term. They were delighted to return to the book and learn more about why Chitra Sounder wrote the story of Pattan and his beloved valley and animals.

On Wednesday, Year 1 had a wonderful trip to Wisley Gardens. They were able to explore the gardens in beautiful sunshine. In the morning, they climbed the lavender mound, spotted butterflies, looked at fruit growing in the orchard and visited the hot house, where they spotted bananas growing and exotic cacti. After lunch, back at the learning centre, the children could touch and smell a variety of plants; the lemon scented Pelargonium one was the most popular. They also learned about the lifecycle of a seed before planting some cornflower seeds which they took home to grow. After this, they went on a guided walk to spot plants which had grown seed pods. They also looked at the tallest trees growing at Wisley, which include a giant Redwood.
