Mrs Platt and Mrs Burch are the class teachers. Mrs Kitcher is our teaching assistant.
Wow – Nearly There! We can hardly believe we're almost at the end of the year – time has truly flown! The children continue to amaze us with their positive, can-do attitudes and boundless enthusiasm for learning.
Another fun and busy week in Owls.
What a fun-filled week we've had in Year 1!
Our highlight this week was definitely Pirate Day! The children had an amazing time dressing up as pirates and mermaids. We went on an exciting treasure hunt around the school grounds, solving clues and using maps to guide our way.
A big thank you for all the junk modelling materials you sent in! The children used them creatively to build pirate ships and accessories. It was a fantastic day full of imagination and hands-on learning

Good evening, before the rubbish goes out!
Good afternoon,
Our highlight this week was the amazing scooter and bike competition held today in the sunshine! The atmosphere was fantastic, and we’d like to say a big thank you for all the wonderful effort that went into decorating the bikes and scooters — they looked brilliant!
Keeping Our Children Safe in the Hot Weather
As the temperatures rise, please ensure your child comes to school prepared for the sunny days ahead. We kindly ask you:
Apply sun cream to your child in the morning before school.
Send your child with a named hat.
Provide a named water bottle.
Upcoming Event: Pirate Day – Thursday 26th June
On Thursday 26th June, we will be celebrating our learning all about pirates! To mark the occasion, we invite the children to come to school dressed as a pirate, mermaid, or sea creature. Please spread the word and take a moment to read our blog from 11.06.25 for more details.
We’re excited to see the children’s creative costumes and celebrate together!
Good evening, It’s been another busy and productive week in Year 1!

Good afternoon and welcome back!
How is it Summer 2 already, the year is flying by. It has been wonderful hearing all about the children’s half-term activities – it sounds like they all had a fantastic time!
Good afternoon everyone,
It was absolutely wonderful to be back with the children this week and to see how much they’ve grown and developed. They really are a credit to you all – so full of energy, kindness and curiosity.
It was also such a joy to see so many of you at Sports Day! What a fantastic afternoon we had, filled with sunshine, smiles and team spirit. Thank you so much for your continued support – it really does mean a lot.

Good afternoon everyone,
Today we enjoyed a run-through of Sports Day. It was a really great atmosphere and all the children enjoyed having a go at the different activities. There is more information about Sports Day on the Newsletter, which has gone out today.
Good afternoon everyone,
We have enjoyed another great week of learning in Year 1 and have been busy as usual!
In English, we have been learning how to write compound sentences using the conjunction ‘and’ to join simple sentences. We have also produced some fantastic pieces of descriptive writing based on the ‘Storm Whale.’ The children have been very independent with their writing and demonstrated that they can incorporate the skills they have already learnt, in their writing – well done!
In Maths, we have continued to focus on measuring capacity and volume and looking at different ways we can do this. We have also been comparing volume and capacity and using more than, less than or equal to in our learning. Home learning- https://www.edshed.com/en-gb/homework
In Phonics, we focused on sounds: oo (as in blue) or (chew) and yoo (as in argue) as well as or (as in claw). Tricky words – today, their, people, your, any. Home learning Little Wandle ebooks https://www.collinshub.co.uk/login/
In Geography, we have been looking rock pools and sorting which sea creatures would and would not survive in a rock pool. The children have also drawn some fantastic pictures of rock pools.
A reminder that our Library day is a Friday. This is when the children can browse the library and change their library books if they want to.
Have a lovely weekend and we will see you on Monday.
