Dear Year One,


We have had an amazing year together. Mrs Reusch and I are so pleased with the children's progress and so proud of everything they have achieved.


Thank you so much for all your support this year and for the very generous gifts. We feel thoroughly spoiled.


Have a super holiday and we are looking forward to seeing you in September.


Best wishes


Ms Davis and Mrs Reusch

Week ending 19th July 2019

Hello Year One,

We have had a busy week completing our projects. We worked with money again this week and the children learned how to make different amounts of money, using different coins.

We wrote adventure stories during our English lessons and completed our 'Around The World' trip by travelling to Antarctica.

The children watched the Year Six performance this morning and returned full of excitement! They thought it was a brilliant show!

We have had a fantastic year. I have enjoyed teaching the children and am very pleased with their progress and development. I know Mrs Reusch shares my thoughts.

Next Week

On Monday the staff will play a game of rounders against the Year Six children. Year One will enjoy watching the game.

On Tuesday we will be attending The Year Six Leaving Assembly. School finishes at 2pm. The ending of the day will be different because we will be part of a parade to 'send off' the children in Year Six. You will need to collect the children from the front entrance. As there will be many parents at this point I will bring the children to the bike shed. Please wait at this point for your children to come to you.

Have a lovely weekend.
Ms Davis

Hello Year One,


It was great to see you all at the parent consultation sessions this week.


 We  had our transition hour on Thursday.  The children experience time in their new classes. Year One were very excited about going into Year Two and they are looking forward to starting in September.


The children enjoyed our pollution project and wrote some amazing stories which were developed from the research they carried out.


Next week we will be completing unfinished topics. We will be working on place value in maths lessons and will be writing poems about pollution and an adventure story for English.


On Friday the children will be watching the Year Six production, which I am sure they will enjoy.


I wish you all a happy and peaceful weekend.

Hello Year One,


We had a very exciting end to our week as a baby grass snake came to visit us! We took it to our wildlife area and released it.





We have been busy working on halves and quarters this week. the children have been playing 'shops' and using money to buy items. They have been counting across one hundred.

For English we wrote poems about a chosen subject. The results were very impressive.

We travelled to North America this week and learned about the features of The USA and Canada. Next week we will look at South America and our focus will be Brazil.
For RE this week the children thought about God as the image of a shepherd and they wrote about how shepherds care for their flock and how we need to be cared for, protected and loved.

Next Week


On Tuesday Year Six will be carrying out an 'apprentice' style activity. As part of their learning they are given a budget and have to come up with ideas of what to buy and sell to make the most profit. All profit goes to charity.
Year One will  be able to take part in this activity by buying items or games. They can bring some money into school to do this.
The Apprentice takes place on Tuesday 9th July in the afternoon.

We will be learning how to count in twos, fives and tens. The children will be looking for patterns and making predictions. 
For English we will be starting a new project on pollution in our water and our focus will be based around the story 'Rainbow Fish.' This will become a creative activity as we will be displaying our ideas in the corridor.
We still need to complete our science project by looking at the growth process of a fruit plant.
 For RE we will be learning  how Christians think of God as a king.

I wish you a happy and restful weekend.
Ms Davis
