Welcome to Year 1

Welcome to Willow Class.

We have loved our topic ‘Space’ and enjoyed learning about the ‘Space Race’ during the 1950s and 1960s.  Today we made information books about American astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins landing on the moon.

This week we imagined that we had landed on a strange and mysterious planet. The children described the planet using their senses. We have been so impressed with how hard the children have been working on their writing and below are a few examples.

Congratulations to Ella and Harrison who were elected to be our School Councillors for this year.

 

If you have a chance over the half term please practise the children’s letter formation for handwriting and revise the following sounds for phonics: igh, ee, ai, oo, ch, sh, th, er and ar.

We hope you enjoyed our singing at the Harvest Festival and we wish you all a happy half term.
