Year 1 - Blwyddyn 1

Welcome to the Year 1 Noticeboard

 

 

 

We hope you find the following information and photographs useful for keeping up to date with what is happening in your child's class.

 

Another great week in Year one- the children are really getting immersed in our new topic. They have written some great sentences about the characters from Where the Wild Things Are. It is lovely to see the progress they are making with their writing and how independent they are becoming in their learning.

 

We are excited about a visit from a puppet company next week- I'm sure the children will tell you all about it!

 

 

Keep the batteries coming in- we will be counting them on Tuesday and announcing the winner for April.

 

PLEASE REMEMBER WE HAVE AN INSET DAY ON FRIDAY- SCHOOL CLOSED TO ALL PUPILS.
