Good Health Week in Year 1 and 2.

This week, children in Year 1 and Year 2 have taken part in a range of exciting activities as part of Good Health Week, exploring how to look after both their bodies and minds.

Recognising and Responding to Emotions

The children enjoyed a workshop focused on understanding different emotions. They learned how to recognise feelings in themselves and others and practised simple strategies to help them manage big emotions in a positive and healthy way.

Healthy Eating: Fruit Preparation & Smoothie Making

A highlight of the week was our hands‑on healthy eating session. The children practised safely slicing fruit and then used their ingredients to create delicious, nutritious fruit smoothies. This practical activity supported their fine motor skills and helped them understand the importance of a balanced diet.

Hand Washing Workshop with the School Nurse

We were delighted to welcome the school nurse for a special workshop on effective hand hygiene. The children learned why hand washing is so important and practised the correct technique to help keep themselves and others healthy.

Safer Internet Day 2026: Using Voice Assistants Safely

As part of Safer Internet Day 2026, Year 1 and Year 2 also discussed how to use voice assistants safely. The children talked about what these devices can do, when they should ask an adult for help, and how to make safe and responsible choices when using technology.

It has been a fantastic week full of learning, activity, and fun. We are so proud of how engaged and enthusiastic the children have been, and we hope they have enjoyed developing healthy habits that will support their wellbeing all year round.

Year 1 and 2 RE Learning.

This week in RE, Year 1 and 2 have been thinking about why celebrating, reflecting, thanking, praising, and remembering are important for Jewish people. The lesson began with a class party which helped the children to remember and recall important celebrations in their own lives and how these celebrations made them feel. The children went on to discuss how celebrating, reflecting, thanking, praising, and remembering, help Jewish people show gratitude, connect with people and traditions, and appreciate the good in their lives.

The children also explored how these ideas can support their own wellbeing. The children shared moments when they have felt thankful, praised others, or remembered special celebrations, recognising how these actions help them feel positive and connected to their community.

A thoughtful and reflective week of learning—well done, Year 1 and 2!

Year 1 and 2 Seascape Art

Our Year 1 and 2 children have created wonderful seascape artworks. They began by sketching their scenes and then used watercolours to bring their ideas to life. To finish their pieces, the children added colourful card curtains, giving the effect of looking out at a seaside view.

We are very proud of their creativity and hard work!

Year 1 and Year 2 Learn About Climate Change.

Year 1 and Year 2 children have been learning about climate change and how it affects our world. They found out what climate change is, what causes it, and why it is important to look after our planet.

The children learned about different climate zones, including polar, desert, rainforest and temperate climates. We talked about how climate change is affecting these places, such as melting ice, hotter temperatures and changes in weather.

The children showed great interest and shared thoughtful ideas about how everyone can help care for the Earth.

Gymnastics with Josh!

Year 1 and Year 2 children took part in an exciting gymnastics lesson this week led by Josh, a gymnastics coach from our local area. The children thoroughly enjoyed the session and were keen to take part in all the activities.

During the lesson, the children used a range of gymnastics equipment to practise and develop different body shapes and jumps. They worked carefully to balance, stretch, and move with control, building both their confidence and coordination. Josh and the class teachers supported and encouraged the children throughout, helping them to improve their technique while having fun.

It was wonderful to see the children engaging so positively, showing great enthusiasm and effort as they developed their gymnastics skills. We look forward to building on these skills in future lessons.

Year 1 Visit to Our Local Church for Christmas Activities.

Last week, our Year 1 children enjoyed a wonderful afternoon at our local church, taking part in festive activities that helped them explore the true meaning of Christmas.

During their visit, the children reflected on some important themes such as joy, bravery, and welcoming. Through stories, crafts, and discussions, they considered how these values can be part of their own lives and the world around them.

The afternoon also encouraged curiosity and deep thinking. The children shared some big questions they would like to ask, such as ‘Why is it important to welcome others?’

It was a thoughtful and inspiring experience that brought learning to life in a meaningful way. A big thank you to the church community for making us feel so welcome and helping us celebrate this special season together.

Year 1 & 2 Welcome a Special Visitor.

This week, our Year 1 and Year 2 children enjoyed a very special visit from one of our school’s former headteachers, Mr Green. As part of their learning about the history of our school, the children had the opportunity to hear first-hand stories about how the school has changed over the years, as well as what has stayed the same.

The children were fascinated to learn about past traditions, old classrooms, and the ways teaching and learning have developed. They asked thoughtful questions and were excited to compare their experiences with those of pupils from many years ago.

We are grateful to our visitor for sharing their memories and bringing our school’s history to life. It was a wonderful opportunity for our pupils to deepen their understanding of the past and feel even more connected to the place they learn and grow every day.

1C and 2S Art

Within our unit of art work this half term we have been considering ‘What colours and patterns can be found in nature?’ The children started off by looking closely at the autumnal objects found and brought into school and arranging them against their chosen background. Next, the children had a go at sketching their choice of objects, including as much detail as possible. The children then created templates and used these to cut out their autumn objects from their choice of fabrics. Finally the children arranged and fixed their objects on a hessian background as well as adding a range of embellishments to reflect the patterns found in nature.
