Week beginning - Monday 8th December 2025

Week Six!

What a week it has been, kicked off by the children getting us all in the Christmas spirit during their Christmas performance. We are extremely proud of each and every one of them. What wonderful narrators, singers and dancers we have amongst us in Year One! The festivities didn't stop there. We enjoyed the panto (Oh yes we did!), filled the school with festive cheer on Christmas jumper day and created our own sleigh designs incorporating our knowledge of 2D shapes and everyday materials. In Phonics this week, we have been working on the alternative 'g' sound, focusing on words including gerbil, gem, giraffe, ginger, gymnastics and energy. We continued to focus on our knowledge of everyday materials and their properties. We used this knowledge to begin writing our letters to Berkley Group, in which we will explain which materials we believe would be best when building new houses. In Maths, we have worked hard to sort a variety of 2D shapes and create patterns using 2D and 3D shapes. In Art this week, we created seasonal collages using a variety of paper, textiles and textures. It has been wonderful celebrating the children's artistic ideas and creativity.
