F2A - Christmas Party Day, by Miss Ward
Date: 18th Dec 2020 @ 5:07pm
F2A have had a brilliant Christmas party day. The children worked hard to prepare for their party by deciding what games and decorations they would like. We even made placemats, party hats and had a visit from Santa! The party was lots of fun!
This afternoon, we joined in with a whole school virtual Nativity story. The children sang some songs and made some lovely angel decorations.
We hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We hope you have a lovely Christmas break and wish you all a very merry Christmas. From Miss Kealey and Miss Topping
Christmas Singalong 2020, by Mrs Harris
Date: 17th Dec 2020 @ 6:14pm
This year has been unprecedented and not like any other we have known.
Looking back we can smile at the many ways in which we all joined together as a community when we were told to stay apart!!
Many of our children clapped for carers and the NHS, walked alongside Captain Tom and brought happinness to their extended families from their doorsteps.
School has been a very different place and our children have surprised us all with their willingness to adapt to new routines including social distancing, extra hand washing and sanitising and keeping each other as safe as possible.
We do hope that you can look back on 2020 and take joy from these simple actions.
As you know, we have not been able to enjoy the usual Christmas celebrations in school this year.....no pantomime or Christmas performances.............however............we have joined in The Alzheimer's Society Elf Day, Anti-Bullying Week with odd socks, Save the Children Christmas Jumper Day, had TWO Christmas Lunch days, enjoyed a class bubble Christmas Party and received a visit from Father Christmas 
Tomorrow children will listen to The Nativity Story before we break for Christmas holidays.
OOOOOPS, almost forgot!! We also had a CHRISTMAS SINGALONG in our class bubble.....ENJOY!!

Dear Parents and Carers,
Next week in our Thematic work, our topic is ‘What do you know about me?’. Within this topic the children will be looking at how they have changed since they were a baby/toddler to them now. To support this topic we would like a photograph of your child as a baby or toddler so we can use them within our work.
As we are unable to ask you to bring the photos in to school, we are asking for you to email them to us and we can print them for your child to use within their thematic work.
Please could you email your photos to [email protected] by Friday 25th September and put the subject of the email as your child’s name. This email address is only for sending photographs and any other communication should be passed through the school office.

Year One Challenges Week 14, by Mrs Carroll
Date: 10th Jul 2020 @ 10:08pm
Hello Year One!
Can you believe this is the last time you will be called ‘Year One’? This is our final week before the summer holidays and when you come back to school in September you will be called ‘Year Two’. How grown-up is that?
This week we would like you to think back over your time in Year One and make a little booklet with these pages in it:
- My Teachers in Year One
- My Friends in Year One
- My classroom looked like this….
- My favourite lesson…
- I was really good at…..
- I had to try hard with….
- I learned how to….
- We went on a visit to….
- In the Christmas Play I was…
Have a good think about each page and draw a picture and write a sentence or some words to go with it. It will be something nice for you to keep to remember your time in Year One.
Finally we would like you to think ahead to September and write a short letter to your new class teacher (whoever they may be! Hopefully you will find out very soon!) In the letter tell them as much as you can about yourself: your name , your age, your family, what you like to do, what you are good at, what you are looking forward to and also tell them anything you are a little bit worried about. Then draw them a fantastic picture of yourself. Make sure you send it to us here at school and we will pass your letter on to your new teacher so that they know all about you before you start in September.
Finally, can we just say that it was wonderful to work with you in Year One and we are so sorry that we haven’t seen you for so long and that we didn’t get to do all the lovely things we wanted to do this term. Have a lovely summer and good luck for September! Make sure you come and say ‘Hello’ to us, when you can.
Take care and stay safe,
Lots of love from all your teachers in Year One

Year One Challenges Week 13, by Mrs Carroll
Date: 4th Jul 2020 @ 11:11pm
Year One Weekly Challenges.
Week 13
Hello Year 1! It has been lovely seeing lots of familiar faces this week but we are still missing our Year 1’s at home. Here are some tasks to keep you busy!
In school this week we have been finding out about SPACE!
English
We would like you to create your own planet! What would your planet look like? What would it be made of? Does anyone live on your planet? Remember to use lots of describing words. Don’t forget capital letters, finger spaces and full stops.
Keep looking at your phonics and your tricky words.
Maths
Please look at your number bonds to ten. If you feel confident with them move on to number bonds to 20. We played a number bond bingo game. Each person chose 4 numbers 0-10, I then called out a number e.g. 3 and they would have to match it with a 7 to make the correct number bond to 10. Have fun!
Could you order the planets in size?
History
While we were looking at the planets we learnt that many of the planets have moons. So we investigated and found out that the first man to walk on the moon was Neil Armstong along with his fellow astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
We would like you to find out more about this amazing adventure, what year did they go to the moon, what was the rocket called, what did they leave on the moon?

Have fun with all your challenges.
Keep safe!
Mrs Fitzgerald, Ms Carney and Mrs Carroll.
