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!

Foundation Stage 1 Weekly Tasks: Week 11, by Miss McNamee
Date: 25th Jun 2020 @ 8:47am
Hello Preschool,
We miss you lots and hope that you are keeping well at home.
This week for your home learning tasks, you will be learning about People Who Help Us. Can you think of anyone who helps you?
We tend to think of people like police officers, doctors, paramedic, firefighters and teachers.
Task 1: Learn your address and practise what you would say if you were ever in an emergency and needed to call 999.
Task 2: Create your own emergency vehicle. Think about its features - sirens, hosepipes and ladders, bright colours. You could make your vehicles out of old boxes, bottle top lids and cardboard tubes.
Task 3: Make your own people who help up costume. You could borrow an adult's hat to be a helmet or a shirt to be a doctor's coat. Pretend you are the person who is helping. What would you do? What would you say?
Task 4: If 5 children are waiting to cross the road and the lollipop person takes 2 children across, how many are left to cross? You could draw a picture or use your fingers to help you work out the answer!
Please keep sending in your pictures of your fantastic work to our school Facebook page - we love to see what you are all up to at home.
