Year Group Events

Autumn Holiday Homework

Celebrate Our First Term

To celebrate our work this term we invited our parents and carers to come and see our wonderful creations. We really enjoyed showing then explaining how we made them. We are all very proud of our achievements!

Library Visit

We went to the library this week. It was a great opportunity for us to learn about all the excellent resources within the library and how using these can make a real difference to our learning. We had lots of fun meeting the librarian, listening to stories and choosing books. Now we will be encouraging our parent to take us!

Recycling Day

We had great fun on Recycling Creative Day. We discussed the area we live in and how we can care and look after it by recycling items. We used various everyday objects to make models and puppets to tell stories. It was wonderful to use recycle materials that we would normally throw away to make something else.
