Wow, what a blast we’ve had in our first week back! It’s been circus week at school and Year 1 have throughly enjoyed it. We loved watching the circus skills assembly and then getting to do our own circus skill workshop. We’ve watched some circus clips of trapeze acts and did some of our own trapeze acrobat art work. We also watched some ribbon twirling skill clips and had a go at learning how to ribbon twirl. On Thursday we had a visit from the Piñata Smashlings. We enjoyed meeting 2 of the characters, having a music lesson with some of the staff from Tokido and then having a piñata party! On Friday we enjoyed showcasing what we’ve been learning this week in a special circus assembly - and watching what other classes have been upto!
 

What a fab half term we've had in Year 1! The class have really impressed me with how enthusiastic they have been and how hard they have all worked. We've learnt all about the Great Fire of London in History and made Tudor houses in D and T. We've learnt about materials in science and discussed keeping healthy in PSHE and learnt some new playground games that are played around the world. We've been practising lots of ball skills in PE and have enjoyed doing some dance lessons too. In RE we've learnt about belonging to different groups, including Christianity and Islam. The class enjoyed our story Handa's surprise and did really well writing parts of the story. 

This last week we've had lots of Easter fun, creating baskets, making crispy buns and writing instructions of how to make them. We loved our class treat of an Easter egg hunt and loved watching Cobden's Got Talent on Thursday.

Have a lovely well deserved rest over Easter Year 1 - I'm excited to see you all back for the Summer Term!
