Transition week has come and gone and it has been so lovely to have our children back today to talk about all the things that they have been doing in their new classes this week!

Millie has enjoyed writing a story about the Yellow Submarine.

Tom has enjoyed doing a treasure hunt where the children had to hunt for facts about John Lennon. Tom could tell us that Lennon was born in Liverpool.

Ruben really enjoyed being outside, blindfolded on the obstacle course where his partner had to guide him across the wooden equipment using only their voice!

Emily also enjoyed a treasure hunt to find out all about Vivaldi, the children found out that his first name was Antonio! Dylan found out that Vivaldi was born in Italy! Hayley found out that Vivaldi’s Dad taught him how to play the violin.

Jack enjoyed learning lots of things about John Lennon. He did not know he was in the Beetles.

Delilah learnt that Vivaldi wrote more than 800 songs.

Toby enjoued English, he wrote a story about a picture. The picture showed a storm, the children used their imagination to write a story about getting shelter from a cave finding treasure whilst others went into the deep dark forest.

Ethan learnt that John Lennon was born on the 9^th of October.

Charlie enjoyed the Science lesson on Thursday afternoon where the children investigated floating and sinking.

One more week until we spread our wings and leave the Year 1 nest, we are looking forward to making lots of memories with the children over the final few days.
