The children have been working on some lovely Christmas crafts that they will bring home in their Christmas box next Friday.

 Week beginning 20.11.23 What a busy week we have had!! On Tuesday we had the pleasure of watching the Strings Recital, I was amazed with how well we sat through it, The children did a brilliant job of watching, asking questions, answering questions and at the end of the leader came to me and said that she amazed by how well Class 1 sat and that they were a credit to me! I am so proud of them all!! :) We have been busy this week exploring habitats, finding out what birds need to eat and how to handle them after their homes were destroyed in the storm! We have been practicing ours songs for the Nativity this week and they are really starting to get to grips with all the words.  Trainee Teachers This week was our last week with Mr Tosh and Miss Gale, the children have loved having more adults to spend time with.

Week beginning 06.11.23 I seem to have missed a couple of blogs, I am sorry time just seems to run away! I hope you all had a lovely half term (seems like a distant memory doesn't it!) The children have settled back into school life and have been such a joy to teach. This next term always seems long as the days get darker and we seem to have a lot more to do, but we will have a brilliant time! This week the children have loved using some new resources, such as the light up boards to write on, the octos and the wooden blocks. It has been great to see their imagination through the use of these.  Trainee Teachers This week we have welcomed two trainee teachers into Class 1. Mr Tosh and Miss Gayle will be here for 3 weeks and the children have made them feel most welcome.
