Class update from Friday 5^th December 2025:

Seasonal activities are well under way in Year 1. The Christmas hoops are completed and adorning the hall ready for the Christmas fair on Saturday. The children took great care creating their decorations, snipping the green paper and carefully winding it around the green cones.

English lessons continue to focus on the book ‘Leaf’ which is about a lost polar bear who is stranger in forest where the other animals are very scared of him. By looking closely at the illustrations, the children were able to think of a range of verbs to describe how Leaf moves when he discovers a waterfall.  The children wrote their own sentences to match the illustrations.

Gymnastic lessons have now finished for the term. Year 1 have learned some tricky balances and worked together to perform some acro gymnastics. Their final balance was an example of terrific teamwork and trust in each other to create a pyramid shape.

Maths lessons have now moved on to 3D shapes. The children began by looking at 3-D shapes in the environment. After learning about the identifying features of each shape, they were able to label and name them accurately.

Along with Reception and Year 2, the children have been busy rehearsing this year’s Nativity. They have decorated their t shirts and are ready to shine at the performances on Thursday 11^th and Friday 12^th December. We look forward to seeing you there.
