Week beginning 8th September 2025:

Throughout year 1, the students have been learning about sustainability. We have been reading 'What Does It Mean To Be Green?', which is a fantastic book about ways in which we can help support our environment.

The students produced displays across both sites, and together we created our very own 'Pledgehogs'! 

We explored the wildlife garden and discussed how we can recycle our plastic to make an array of useful things, like bird feeders!

We also started creating our very own toys using plastic bottles brought in from home.

The children have started practising their phonics and spelling within class. We are on week 2. Please continue this at home. If you do require any further information or advice on how to support your child, please do approach the teacher.

Welcome to the Year 1 web page, on which you will be receiving all the updates surrounding your child's progress.
