Y1 Counting from a larger group
Date: 18th Sep 2026 @ 9:37am
The children in Year 1 enjoyed playing a game today where they took it in turns to count numbers of cubes from a larger group after rolling a dice. The winner was the person to pick up the last cube. The children had to think about which number they want to roll to be able to win.

Today, the children in Year 1 learned how to log on to our computing program called Purple Mash. We discussed the importance of keeping passwords private. After we had logged on, the children were able to create their own avatar to represent them while online.

As part of our Mastering Number session today, we explored the rekenreks and discussed what we noticed about them. The children talked about the number of beads on each row and the number of different coloured beads on each row. They practised getting the rekenreks ready in the 'ready position'.

The children have worked hard today in the Blue Room. They have been focused on fine motor skills, letter formation, counting and making repeated patterns.
Date: 15th Sep 2026 @ 4:26pm
Children were given a variety of objects and were asked to sort them into as many different groups as they could think of. Some chose to sort them by colour, some chose to sort them by object type and some chose to sort them by size.
Date: 11th Sep 2026 @ 3:26pm
During our time in the Blue Room, we found different ways to explore making repeated patterns.

KS1 Child led Collective Worship - Lent (6th March 2025)
Date: 10th Mar 2025 @ 11:16am
The children in Year One helped to plan a celebration of the Word for Reception and Year two on the theme of Lent.
After our Ash Wednesday service yesterday everybody knows how important this special season is for Christians.
We chose the scripture about Jesus in the desert to remind us about why there are 40 days of Lent.
It was good to remind the other children about what they can do themselves during Lent. We have all been learning about this in RE too.
Our mission at the end of our celebration is to help, along with the rest of the school, to really make a difference to the lives of others this Lent.
Here are some of our thoughts after the celebration:
"It made me want to help people." - Harper
"I felt quiet in worship." - Matthew
"We know our Gather responses much better now!" - Jonas
"Today it made me feel proud of being a Christian." - Kit
"I will do extra prayers in Lent" - Zach
"We will do more good things and extra thinking." - Delilah
"We could sing 'Come and join the circle' next time." - Polly
Mary's Meals - A visit from Anna Houghton
Date: 6th Mar 2025 @ 8:52pm
Today we were visited by Anna from Mary's Meals.
Anna spent time with all of the the children to explain all about the important work of the charity in providing hungry children with meals.
We saw on the map the sixteen different countries in which they are working hard to help feed children.
During Lent, our school family have pledged to support Mary's Meals and do what we can to share our love, prayers, time and effort just like Jesus did.
We hope that we can share information with our families and friends about this incredible charity and help to raise some money to pay for meals.
To feed a child one meal costs just 10p. Let's see how many meals we can pay for!
Each classroom has a collection pot for any coins you may like to donate over the coming weeks.
We are also planning an exciting fundraiser at the end of the March too.
NSPCC Number Day in Year 1 - 7th February 2025
Date: 12th Feb 2025 @ 10:38pm
The children loved welcoming some of our parents in for a special maths hour this morning and proudly wore their number outfits!
It was great to raise money for the NSPCC and also to have fun with numbers.
Our carousel of activities included emoji code breaking, secret picture calculations, dice - more/less game and the cube game.
All of these helped to develop our counting and calculation skills.
It was also a good chance to show our grown ups the type of equipment we use in school to help us with maths.
KS1 Child led Celebration of the Word - Justice (January 2025)
Date: 1st Feb 2025 @ 8:38pm
This week, children in Year One helped to plan our celebration of the Word for Reception and Year two.
We enjoyed reflecting on what we have learned about Justice and reminding each other how important this is.
The scripture from Micah 6: 6-8 is becoming a real favourite for the children, particularly because they love singing about it!
"The song was my best bit today!" - Harry
"It's all about being fair." - Delilah
"We should always share." - Clay
"I liked sitting in a semi circle for this celebration." - Kit
"We should have put our Justice sign on the table too!" - Meredith
