What a super strange year it has been! We are so sad that we didn't get to finish the year with you all - you had all made such great improvements in one way or another since leaving Reception.
We hope that you and your families have all managed to stay safe and that you are now ready for a fun and relaxing summer! Lots of you have been working really hard at home this term and we are really impressed with all of you who have managed to do some learning each day - You should be really proud of yourselves.
We wish all of you the best of luck in Year 2 and we are sure that you will do your best to try and return with a positive and hard working attitude in September when we all return to school properly.

Thank you 
 

Hello Year 1!!!!

We hope you are all ok and are staying safe? We are all missing you guys and hope that you are not finding it too strange being off school and having to stay at home for such a long time! I'm sure you've all been VERY busy practising phonics, reading and writing and doing some number work, like counting forwards and backwards and adding and subtracting... ;o) ;o) ;o)
Remember that you have ALL worked SOOOOOOOO hard in Year 1 and you dont want to forget all the amazing things that you have learnt so far, so it really is important that you keep trying to do a bit of learning each day if you can in whatever way you choose!

Now the actual Easter holiday is here so it's time to do some fun Easter activities too!

In my house this week we have been making things for Easter. We have been practising measuring to make some Easter nests and an Easter cake, because EVERYBODY wants to eat chocolate in as many different ways as possible at Easter time! ;o)

We have also made some Easter cards and a chick picture to cheer everyone up. Jake practised his cutting skills to make his!

And - not very Easter-y - but we have also been reading lots of Elmer stories and have made an Elmer the Elephant out of a plastic milk bottle and coloured paper. Look for the pictures/ links to these activities and have a go yourselves if you fancy it! We are also adding some Easter English and Easter maths activities onto theYear 1 English and Maths pages for you to have a go at if you like.

Remember that you can send us an email to show us what you have been doing. We would love to hear how you are all getting on. Have fun!
