What an amazing performance during the school nativity. We are feeling very proud of all the children in Year 1, and we are sure you are too. 

Mrs John and I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for your kind gifts, messages and cards. We wish you much joy and family time over the festive period, and we look forward to seeing you all again in 2025.

What an amazing day we have had!

As part of 'National Tree Week', today we celebrated the importance of trees, not only for their positive environmental impact, but also for how important they are for our wellbeing. The children shared their opinions about why they think trees are important, they imagined what advice a tree would give to them, they wrote a class poem titled 'Our Tree' and they spent the afternoon in Forest School. We even made our own eco Christmas tree for the classroom. 

Have a look at our class gallery, it's filled with joy.

 

Thursday 7th November 2024

We have had a super start to our history enquiry question for this half-term 'How do our favourite toys and games compare with those of children in the 1960s?' We spent the day at the Black Country Living Museum learning about toys and the lives of children in the past.

Have a look on the class gallery page to see all the fun we had.

If they could be returned during the final week commencing 21st October. For further information, please click on the 'Home Learning' tab on the right.
