A Wonderful End to Our Scarecrow’s Wedding Theme

This week, KS1 brought our Scarecrow’s Wedding learning journey to a fantastic conclusion with a special craft afternoon!

The children enjoyed getting creative as they made a variety of wedding-themed crafts inspired by the story. From designing wedding cakes and creating a variety of colourful scarecrows, the classroom was filled with excitement, imagination and teamwork.

Throughout our work on Scarecrow’s Wedding, the children have developed their reading, writing and speaking skills while engaging with a story they have thoroughly enjoyed. It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they retold the story, explored the characters and shared their own creative ideas.

We are also delighted that Mrs Mason, has chosen to display some of the children’s wonderful work from this project. The children were incredibly proud to see their achievements being celebrated, and it is a lovely recognition of all their hard work and creativity.

We are so proud of everything the children have achieved during this topic. What a wonderful way to celebrate the end of a memorable learning journey!

Well done, KS1! 🌻💐💒

Homework 25.09.26

This week’s homework is to complete the maths sheet in your child’s homework folder. The activities are based on learning we have completed in school this week and provide a great opportunity to practise these skills at home.

As an optional extra, our gymnastics coach has launched a ‘Design Your Own Leotard’ competition. The winning design will receive a trophy, so it is well worth taking part!

Thank you for your continued support.

KS1 News and Celebrations

This week, all of our Year 1 children have been thoroughly enjoying spending time in their continuous provision areas. A particular highlight has been our fantastic new role play resource, a wonderful wooden frame that can be transformed into a variety of exciting role play environments.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to the Harbach family, who kindly designed, built and donated this amazing resource for our school. The children absolutely love using it and it has already inspired lots of imaginative play, creativity and collaborative learning. We are incredibly grateful for their generosity and support.

We are always delighted to see members of our school community sharing their skills and talents to enhance our children’s learning experiences. If any parents or family members have ideas, expertise or resources they would like to contribute to school, we would love to hear from you.

We would also like to say a big well done to our gymnasts this week, who received the Gymnast of the Week medal from Dudley Gymnastics Group. This is an award that will continue to be presented each week, and recipients will have the opportunity to share their achievement during our Friday Praise Assembly.

As a reminder, if your child has received any medals, trophies or certificates from activities outside of school, we would love to celebrate their successes with them. Please bring these into school on a Friday so they can be shared during assembly.

Many thanks,
The KS1 Team

Homework 11.09.26

KS1 Homework

There will be no physical homework set this week.

Instead, we would like the children to spend some time over the weekend practising their maths skills on TT Rock Stars or NumBots. Just 10-15 minutes of regular practice can make a big difference to their confidence and fluency with number facts.

Thank you for your continued support, and we hope you have a lovely weekend!

Many thanks,
The KS1 Team
