Year 1 2025-2026 Blog

We had so many wonderful World Book Day competition entries. All of the winners received their book prize in assembly today. The winning characters will be displayed in our school library. 

Today, the children took part in a fun and practical activity as part of their Design and Technology learning. They made their own chocolate spread sandwiches while developing important skills. The children followed a set of instructions carefully, learning about the correct order of steps needed to make their sandwich. They practised spreading the chocolate carefully, assembling their sandwich, and talking about the process they followed.

Well done to this week's Head-Teacher and Good to be Green award winners. Congratulations to A who has been award two awards for his achievements at his out of school 'Ninja Knights' club. Keep up the excellent work everyone!

To celebrate National World Book Day, the children came to school dressed as their favourite book characters, while others chose to wear their pyjamas to celebrate the joy of bedtime stories and the special time many families share reading together at the end of the day. It was wonderful to see such a fantastic range of costumes and to talk about all of the different stories the children enjoy. As part of our celebrations, the children also took part in a “Guess the Book from the Prop” activity.
