Good morning Year One,
​
We have reached the end of what has been a very strange term for us all. But, we wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, to you, for continuously working so hard while at home, for putting a smile on our faces on a daily basis by sending us photos and videos and chatting on the phone, for challenging yourself and for keeping on trying when it hasn’t been easy. Also a big thank you to all of the parents who have taken on home schooling so brilliantly – we know, at times, this hasn’t been easy.

We are so proud of what the children in Year One have achieved this term, well done to you all!

Have a lovely half term and enjoy the sunshine.
​
Take care and stay safe, we hope to see you very soon.
Mrs Dennis and Miss Rowe

Year One have been really busy having lots of fun with our Under The Sea topic. They've been crafting, hunting, carrying out floating and sinking experiments, baking, walking, making, creating musical instruments and so much more!! Nathaniel and Alex carried out a super  activity all about water pollution. 

Check out William's Under The Sea poem here:
