The children have made a brilliant start to year 1 and settled in amazingly. They have all worked really hard, even with the VERY hot weather!

This week in year 1 we have started our new power of reading book - Beegu. The children have been imagining the planet that Beegu has come from and how it must feel to be in a new place.

In maths we have been learning to count objects accurately and use cubes and ten frames to show our numbers.

We have had both indoor and outdoor PE this week. The children are doing gymnastics in the hall, thinking about how they can travel on different pieces of equipment. In outdoor PE we are practising our throwing and catching skills.

During Art, all the children had to follow some difficult instructions to make their own view finders, which they managed brilliantly and then think about the different textures that they can see and feel in the outside world. 

All the teachers this week have said that the children have managed the transition from reception to year 1 fantastically.
