Year 1

Hello Everyone, 

We have had a lovely week of learning together. The children have enjoyed exploring all the different colours of spring. We have completed some flower crafting pictures which look lovely on the wall display.  We did some colour matching, exploring the instruments and doing some great challenges together. We also did some large scale drawing on the floor which was great fun.

The children really loved world book day and enjoyed sharing their favourite stories at group time with their friends.

The children have enjoyed group times and have been doing some great listening.

Hello everyone........





Year 1


Hello Everyone, 


The children have really enjoyed the story this week. They have done lots of role play and had some great ideas about what the bears should do about Goldilocks. The children liked making Bears which we have displayed on the wall. While the weather has been wet we have been spending time in the soft play room and the sensory room. The children have enjoyed playing games in small groups and have been developing their turn taking skills. 

Outside the children practiced their climbing  skills on the climbing frame. They have also been building with the construction materiels and planks.  

We have been using both classrooms as freeflow which the children have enjoyed

It was great to talk to you all at parents evening about the great achievements your children have made.  Zoe will be catching up with anyone who was unable to attend last week.


This week we will be continuing the story of The Three Bears and we have lots of fun things and games to explore.



Healthy Movers

Hello everyone...





Year 1


Hello Everyone, 




We have had a nice week of learning together. We have played some games about emotions and enjoyed pulling some different faces and talked about how we were feeling and when we may see them.

We played some small group games and the children really liked the frog activity in the shallow water tray. Outside the children practiced their basketball skills. The role play area has all been about looking after the babies this week which has shown the children working together to see that all the babies are dressed and fed.


We have made the most of our lovely indoor spaces when it has been wet. The children have enjoyed the soft play room and the sensory room. The large box that 6 children could get inside was definitely a highlight of the week!


This week we will be focussing on the story of The Three Bears and we have lots of fun things and Maths games to explore.
