🐧 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!
