Class update from Friday 9^th January 2026:

The new Year 1 topic is the history of travel and transport. As an introduction, the children talked to each other about how they think travel and transport have changed over time. Question prompts like, ‘How would people travel to different countries in the past? What would they use?’ helped them to think and talk about what travel looked like in the past.

In English lessons, the children took part in an immersive experience to inspire their writing; they set out their chairs, so they were like a train carriage, and watched a film of the glacier express travelling through the Alps. The recent cold weather also helped them to describe the icy scenery and how it would feel waiting for the train on a freezing platform. During their art lesson, the children used free expression to create an image of a steam train in a wintery landscape of frozen mountains, rivers and forests. They used black paper for a background and took great care applying chalk and pastel to represent the scene.

In P.E. lessons with Mrs Corlett, the children have been practising moving with a ball using control; many children displayed excellent early rugby skills by tucking the ball under their arm and running to a target. There is also a new RE topic this term which asks why Christians make and keep promises to God? We are delighted with the photographs we have received of baptisms, christenings and family celebrations. We look forward to sharing these with the class next week.
