Happy New Year

We hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and a chilled out new year!

All the children have taken home a letter regarding our new topic, Charlie and the chocolate factory. 

As part of the project we will be taste testing some of the ingredients for our chocolate bars, if you have any concerns about your child eating any particular food, it will be available to look at Tuesday after school. 

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to come and ask.

Thank you

KS1 Work Sharing Assembly

KS1 led work sharing assembly today. We showed the rest of the school some of the work we have been doing as part of our project, 999 What's your emergency. We showed some of our emergency vehicle models from D&T, shared what we had learnt about Mary Seacole in History and talked about investigations we have carried out in science. We even gave everyone a sneak peak of one of our Christmas production songs!

Today a letter will come home with your child explaining arrangements for the last week of term!

Thank you, 

The KS1 team 

Key Stage 1 - It's A Christmas Emergency Production Rehearsals

This week we have begun to rehearse our Christmas Show that we will be performing to parents called "It's A Christmas Emergency!"

As you can see the children have been very busy learning their lines and singing all the songs, not to mention learning lots of great jokes to make you laugh!

Performances to parents will be on Monday 17th December at 2:30pm and on Tuesday 18th December at 9:30am. Programmes for these performances can be obtained from the Office during the week prior to the shows. Please see the letter in the link below for full details. Remember - you must have a programme to attend.

KS1 Marvellous Maths

Last week all children brought home some maths games to play at home.  These games are designed to allow children to improve their skills and speed of recall for number facts.  You may need simple resources such as dice or a pack of playing cards.  

Keep a note of scores so that you can both enjoy seeing progress as the score goes up with more practise!  Please have fun with these games and encourage your child to enjoy the challenge of beating their own score.  

Articles 28 & 29 of the UNCRC state that every child has the right to a good education.  Helping your child to practise the skills we are teaching in school will increase confidence and enable them to maximise on their learning opportunities.   

This week in KS1

Well done to our new KS1 School Councillors ... Tim and Isabelle 

This week in KS1...

 We will be designing our christmas cards that will be coming home on Monday 15th October which you will be able to order. 

Please remember parents evening is next Monday 15th and Tuesday 16th, if you have not yet made an appointment please ask one of the KS1 teachers or at the office and we will be happy to book one for you. 

This week in KS1

This week Amethyst, Diamond and Emerald classes will be choosing their School Councillors. 

This year, because each class already has an Eco Councillor, there will only be 2 School Councillors that represent all of KS1. 

If your child wishes to stand as a Councillor they might like to make a poster or a speech which they can share with their phase group. 

Teachers will be short listing candidates ready for the election on Thursday, all results will be announced on Friday. All children have the right to say what they think and have their views taken seriously and the role of School Councillors provides the mechanism in which we can do this (Article 12).
