🤸‍♂️ A Fantastic Start to Gymnastics! 🤸‍♀️

We were lucky enough to welcome a British Gymnastics coach to our PE lesson Thursday afternoon. The children had lots of fun learning the ski, pencil and toilet positions before taking part in a carousel of activities involving balancing, travelling and jumping from apparatus.

The children listened brilliantly, tried their best and showed great enthusiasm throughout the session. We are especially excited that our coach will be working with us throughout the whole half term!

A huge thank you to our visiting coach for such a fun and engaging afternoon. We can’t wait for next week’s session! 😊👏

 

A Fantastic Start to the New School Year for Years 1 and 2!

A Fantastic Start to the New School Year for Years 1 and 2!

We have been delighted to welcome our Year 1 and Year 2 children back to school this week. It has been a wonderful start to the new academic year, and we have been incredibly impressed with how quickly the children have settled into their new classes and routines.

The children have worked hard to follow our school rules by being ready and responsible to learn, using kind and respectful words, and showing kind hands and feet throughout the school day. They have demonstrated excellent behaviour, positive attitudes, and a real enthusiasm for learning.

We would like to thank parents and carers for your continued support in helping your children make such a successful start.

Please take a moment to read our Welcome letter and KS1 poster (below)  if you have not already done so, as they contain important information about the term ahead.

Thank you once again for your support. We are looking forward to a fantastic year together.

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! ✍️✨
