Today we learned about sorting objects in different ways. We enjoyed listening to the story ‘The Button Box’ and we had a go at sorting items in lots of different ways. The children had some great ideas about how they could sort the items e.g. by size, colour or shape. Logan, Eli and Dax also sorted the animals into ‘land’, ‘sea’ and ‘swamp’ animals. When sorting the buttons the children used some brilliant vocabulary to describe the groups they had made.
Great work Class 5!
This Friday (6.9.24), it is our dress up day to hook the children into their Expedition. They are welcome to come as anything medieval! They could be kings, queens, dragons or jesters – whatever links to castles, but please don’t worry about buying a costume!
On Tuesday 15th October it is the Family learning for Year 1. This will begin at 1.30 in the afternoon.
For Year 2, your family learning is on Thursday 17th October. This will again be at 1.30 in the afternoon.
We look forward to seeing you all and the amazing costumes!
Class 5 had an awesome time taking part in the Colour Run on Friday. It was so lovely to see all the smiles (and hugs!). Here’s a little video of them taking part!
Today we made our own keyrings to help to spread messages about how we can help to protect our planet.
We are excited to welcome all of our new parents and children to Year 1. We will keep parents up to date with things that are happening in school through our class blogs. Today we wanted to share a few expectations that help to keep Year 1 running smoothly.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask your child’s class teacher in person or via email.
We are looking forward to a super year in Year 1. We have some great expeditions, visits and visitors lined up for the children to enjoy. More information will be shared soon!

What a lovely day we had today. The children are settling in beautifully! The children competed their morning activity as soon as they came into the classroom. Then in crew time we enjoyed working as a team to pass the hoola hoop around our circle. The children then showed off their phonics skills and myself and Miss Cooper were really proud of the beautiful presentation in ur writing books. After play we learned more about reducing, reusing and Recycling and began to make some posters to share with the other classes in school.
I am so proud of you Class 5 and I am super excited to see you all doing the Colour Run tomorrow!
Yesterday we had a great time visiting the XP Outdoors Camp. We sang camping song, read a story in the tents and had a play on the KS2 Trim Trail and 3G pitch. We are looking forward to returning next week to do a special activity with Mr Kershaw!
Apologies to those parents who could not access these menus. We are looking into the issue. In the meantime below is a link to the Parent Overview and a screenshot of each year group’s Homework Menu.
Children should be able to access these menus at any time from the KS1 Extended Study section in the ‘Children’ drop down menu on the front page of the blog if they are logged on with their own Green Top email address.
Please let me know if you have any more problems

To hook our children into our new expedition we will be having a Medieval dress up day Friday 6th September. We invite children to dress up for a special day of medieval fun! If your child does not have an outfit please do not worry! They can wear their own party clothes and we will ensure they make some accessories to compliment their outfit (crowns fit for a king/queen/prince/princess etc).
We can’t wait to see you all dressed up!
Example costumes – King, Queen, Prince, Princess, Knight, Dragon
We had a lovely first day back at school today in Class 5. Lots of smiles and confidence which was amazing to see. This week we will be answering the question ‘How does what I do impact others?’ We loved listening to the story of Messy Magpie and learning about how we can reduce, reuse and recycle to stop our waste ending up in landfill sites. We learned how to sort materials so that they can be recycled.
Well done class 5 for a super day in Year 1.
