Welcome to Year 1
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.
- Please ensure all uniform is labelled with your child’s name. If it is not labelled staff will label it. This ensures we have no lost property in school.
- Please ensure children bring a bag to school each day to keep their belongings safe. Children are asked to keep many things safe in their backpack and it also helps children to carry all of their belongings at the end of the day (water bottles, jumpers, cardigans, reading books, letters etc)
- All children should bring a water bottle filled with water only every day
- Please remember we have a no toys rule in school – please keep all toys/teddy bears etc at home
- All children will need a PE kit consisting of a dark green T-Shirt, Black shorts and trainers or pumps. These will be needed from the week beginning 9th September. We ask that all children bring their PE kits to school on a Monday and take it home on a Friday. For this reason it would be helpful if children’s PE kit was in a separate bag to their every day backpack.
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!

Class 5: Day 3
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!
Class 5: Day 2
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!
Y1 and Y2 homework menus and parents overview.
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

Crew Campfire
We’ve just finished our burgers and hotdogs and now we’re cosy near the campfire enjoying some of Mr Kershaw’s crazy songs!
Y3/4 Expedition field work
On Monday 2nd September, we will be taking year 3 and 4 children on an evacuation trip to our local Methodist Church as part of our new expedition. There is no expectation for children to dress up, however if they wish to they may. We will all be making a gas mask box, an identity label and a luggage label to take too.
The aim of the field work is for the children to experience something similar to what the children in WW2 did during their evacuation. We will leave school at 1pm with a return in time for 3pm pick up. We are hoping this work will engage the children into their new learning.
Here are some ideas for inspiration but please don’t feel you have to buy an outfit – see what you have in the trusty wardrobe!

Crew Knowles – First Day Back!
We had great fun this morning with a crew building task that involved transporting water in drain pipes! It was definitely tricky but everyone worked together really well to achieve the end goal! There was lots of great strategising and communication!
Y3/ Class 10 – Our First Day!
Wow – what a fabulous first day we have had in our new Year 3 class. The boys and girls have all returned with super attitudes and a readiness to get started straight away … well done everybody!
We have enjoyed using the morning catching up and sharing all of our holiday news as well as recapping our crew norms and character traits. We enjoyed a story called ‘A Letter from Your Teacher on the First Day of School’ and used this to help us pen our own amazing letters to our crew explaining how we we plan to be a good crew mate in Year 3.
This afternoon, we enjoyed spending time with Mr Kershaw in the outdoor campsite where we played games, toasted marshmallows and even sang come campfire songs.
In the words of Chayce … ‘who knew Year 3 could be so much fun!’
