Creating our Pledgehog!
A massive thank you to all our parents who supported us in creating our year 1 Pledgehog.
The children loved creating their pledges, and writing their WOW words for the week on their leaves with all your support.
We, as the year 1 team, are very proud of each one of them.

Thank you, Tottenham Hotspurs!
All the children had a fantastic morning practising their ball control skills with a coach from Tottenham Hotspurs.
World Food Day:
We celebrated World Food Day! Students dressed up in their cultural clothes and shared their food.
We are fortunate to be such a diverse and inclusive school.
All the students learnt about children around the globe, and how not all are fortunate to have food.
Learning in year one:
To allow for a smoother and easier transition, the year 1 team have been working hard to prepare a range of activities to support the students - this includes continuing a free flow setting.
Merlin class have been doing lots of activities to support their understanding when comparing numbers.
