Welcome back to Year 1 and Year 2! The children have had a fantastic week, catching up with old friends and developing new friendships within our class. We have spent time this week getting back into the swing of school and going over our school rules as well as class expectations. Circle time is an important part of our day where the children feel safe to share their thoughts and feelings with each other.

Lots of our focus this week has been on the story ‘The Colour Monster’ – a very well known and liked story. We have completed art work independently, art work as a team, short bursts of writing and lots of talk around emotions.

We also had a KS1 activity afternoon on Thursday where the children joined together in house colours to carousel around different PE activities.

To ease ourselves back into being Mathematicians we have been focussing on our presentation and number formation this week. Lots of our Year 2 students have supported the Year 1’s as maths books are new to them. It has been a super week getting to know the children, their personalities, their likes and dislikes and watching new friendships forming.

We can’t wait to see what next week has in store for us!
