Happy New Year Everyone!!!
It is 2022!!! It sounds a bit strange saying this date! I hope you have all had a fantastic Christmas holiday and are raring to get back to your learning in school. The spring term in Year 1 is always a busy one with lots of new learning happening as well as making sure we know how to do the basic skills in reading, writing and maths that was covered in the Autumn term.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone on Wednesday 5th January.

Happy Christmas everyone or Happy Holidays to those who don't celebrate it. Mrs. Ratcliffe, Miss. Gallery and Mrs. Caine have all thoroughly enjoyed our first term with you all. We hope you have enjoyed it too. You have worked incredibly hard and really deserve this two weeks off to rest.
Stay say everyone and we really hope that we can see you all back in school in January.

WOW! What a busy week we have had! But we have had so much fun doing it!
We have a christmas party day where we played party games and ate yummy party food! Thank you to the parents for helping with the food, the children really enjoyed it!
The children also made Christmas hats for our Christmas dinner in the hall with all our friends. We ate roast turkey or cheese whirl (veggie option) with all the trimmings, followed by a shortbread biscuit!
Final science experiment of 2021
Date: 16th Dec 2021 @ 3:52pm
Today we completed our final science investigation of 2021. We tested the durability and absorbency of a range of materials to find the best cloth for wiping down surfaces. Eventually, the children decided that the thick, yellow cloth had the best balance of durability and absorbency.

Yesterday, year 4 participated in a very special treat. We spoke to Santa! He told us how well we had all behaved, and was very impressed with our hard work (especially our earthquake drills and swimming lessons!)
We then celebrated with a Christmas Party. We played party games, had a disco and won prizes.
Year 4 have worked very hard this half term, and we could not be more proud of them.
Well done year 4!
Have a fantastic holiday,
Miss Brookes and Miss Kenwell.

Hi Everyone!
What a busy few weeks we have had in 1AI...
A few weeks ago I got the opportunity to speak to 1AI grown ups face to face or through a telephone conversation for our first parents' evening of this academic year. It was lovely to speak to all the parents/carers and discuss how the children had settled into life in Year 1.
Last week we had not one but four performances of the KS1 Nativity 'It's a Baby!' with Year 2. It was a busy week but the children were amazing and really shone with their performances, singing and acting skills. I still can't believe that it was put together in a week!!!
Next week we have Christmas Party Day, CC experience to finish off our materials topic, Christmas Dinner, Behaviour treat along with lots of Christmas challenges in the areas around the classroom. There could even be a possibility of a visit from the Father Christmas over zoom - Fingers crossed!!!

Wow!
What a week to come back to 1JH! Our little superstars did FOUR amazing performances of our Nativity story: "It's a baby!". I was blown away on Monday watching it for the first time and I am sure you were just as impressed when you came to see it on Tuesday. The children were so excited getting to perform to you, so thank you for coming!
Yesterday I got to show off the great progress the children have been making this year at Parent's Evening. If any of you who had a phone conversation and would like to meet face to face I would be happy to do this in the new year on a day that suits you after school. :)
On Monday, we have our Christmas Party! Thank you to those of you who have offered to bring in snacks for the children - your kindness and generosity is greatly recieved and I am sure the children will be very excited to share with their friends.
One more week to go and I'm sure it will be a great one! Have a lovely weekend and see you on Monday.
Miss Higgins :)

We have been practising our coding skills using 'Blockly' to help us programme a robot. We were challenged to make the robot move forwards and backwards, make its eyes change colour, make it make a sound and move the kicker. We then applied all the skills we had learned to have a robot football match!
