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.
