The end of a wonderful year for Year 1 and 2!

As we come to the end of another wonderful school year, we would like to thank all of our Year 1 and Year 2 children, their families and carers for your support, kindness, and enthusiasm throughout the year.

It has been a pleasure to watch the children grow in confidence, develop new skills, and create so many happy memories. We are incredibly proud of everything they have achieved and all of the hard work they have put into their learning.

A heartfelt thank you for the thoughtful cards, gifts, and kind messages we have received. Your generosity and appreciation mean so much to us and are truly valued.

We hope you all have a fantastic, relaxing, and safe summer holiday and we look forward to welcoming the children back to school in September.

Have a wonderful summer, and thank you again for being part of such a special year!

RE Learning This Week – Years 1 and 2.

This week in RE, the children explored how believing in God can influence the way people treat others and care for the world around them.

The children worked in table groups to sort different behaviours, deciding whether they followed The Golden Rule – treat others as you would like to be treated – or not. This prompted thoughtful discussions about kindness, respect and making positive choices.

We were impressed by the children’s ideas and their ability to explain their thinking.

Year 1 and Year 2 Celebrate National Writing Day 2026.

Our KS1 children recently took part in the wonderful celebration of National Writing Day 2026, immersing themselves in a day full of creativity, imagination, and storytelling.

The children produced their own independent pieces of creative writing. We were incredibly impressed by the enthusiasm and imagination on display.

The children worked diligently to apply their phonics, spelling, punctuation, and storytelling skills, and many showed great pride in their work.

We are very proud of all our young writers. National Writing Day was a fantastic opportunity to nurture a love of writing, and we hope it has inspired many budding authors for the future!

Well done, Year 1 and Year 2! ✍️✨

🐧 Amazing Authors! Year 1 & 2 Non-Fiction Penguin Booklets.

The children in Year 1 and 2 became fantastic young authors as they created their very own non-fiction booklets all about penguins!

The children learned how to write in a clear and informative style, just like real non-fiction writers. They worked incredibly hard to:

Research facts about penguins, including where they live, what they eat, and what they look like.

Write sentences using capital letters, full stops, and spaces to present their ideas clearly.

Organise their writing into sections, using headings to share information.

Add diagrams and illustrations to make their booklets engaging and informative.

It was wonderful to see the children building their confidence in writing while sharing their knowledge in such creative ways!

We are incredibly proud of their effort, creativity, and enthusiasm.

🌟 Well done, Year 1 and 2! 🌟

Ascension Day Celebrations – Year 1 and Year 2

Today, our Year 1 and Year 2 children enjoyed a very special day as they came together to celebrate Ascension Day.

The morning began with a visit to church, where the children took part in a meaningful and reflective service. Our worship leaders did a wonderful job leading the assembly, helping the children to understand the importance of Ascension Day and guiding them in prayer, song, and worship.

In the afternoon, the celebrations continued back at school with a fantastic talent showcase. The children had the opportunity to share their unique skills and interests with their peers, and it was truly inspiring to see the confidence and enthusiasm on display.

We are incredibly proud of all the children for their participation, courage, and support for one another. It was a joyful day filled with faith, creativity, and celebration.

Year 1 & 2 Science

This week in Science, our Year 1 and 2 children explored the question: “Which direction is the sun?”

To help answer this, we took our learning outdoors! The children observed their own shadows and noticed how these changed depending on where they stood in relation to the sun. They discovered that shadows are always formed on the opposite side of the sun, helping them understand its position in the sky.

We also had a thoughtful discussion about how daylight changes throughout the year. The children learned that the length of the day varies with the seasons, with winter having the shortest amount of daylight and summer having the longest.

It was wonderful to see the children working scientifically—observing, questioning, and making connections to the world around them. Well done, everyone!

Art in Year 1 and 2.

Our Year 1 and 2 children have been busy developing their artistic skills in their recent art lessons! This week they have been focusing on using line and shape to carefully sketch their very own penguins.

The children showed great concentration as they thought about how to create different shapes to build their drawings. They also began exploring shading techniques, learning how to add depth and texture to make their penguins look more realistic.

We are so proud of the effort and creativity the children have shown. Their finished artwork looks fantastic, and it has been wonderful to see their confidence grow as young artists!

Well done, everyone!
