Year 1

Year 1 is an amazing year group.  Mrs Gaunt and Mrs Day are the class teachers and they are supported by Mrs Chapman, Mrs Burnett and Mrs Mason.

We continue to learn through play but also balance this with more structured time too.  We continue to explore, discover, invent, problem solve and discuss in our indoor and outdoor environment.  We have lots of fun topics to explore and we make learning exciting, creative, lively and relevant.  We thrive on learning together!

Away in A Manger

What a lovely display KS1 have produced for our entrance area.  In addition to the superb Nativity scene we seem to have a super sparkling candle!  Although we can’t find a quote about this in the Bible it certaihly makes the display very effective!

We have decorated our Christmas Tree

We have been kindly given a beautiful Christmas Tree which has taken pride of place in our school hall. Our children have created huge decorations to cover the 20ft tree!  It is both very special and quite dramatic.

Plotting in the cellar!

We have changed our role play area in to the Houses of Parliament in London. We can pretend to be King James I on his throne or Guy Fawkes and his plotters in the cellars with gun powder and rats!
