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.
We have had such a lovely week this week. The children had a fantastic time on their trip to Manor Wildlife park. The children were so well behaved and had so much fun. Their favourite part was feeding the wallabies. This week the children have had the opportunity to create their own tune on the glockenspiel. They enjoyed creating a variety of tunes. We also had another visit from Otis the dog which the children have really been enjoying. On Friday, the children had the chance to meet their new class teacher which was very exciting and got to ask lots of questions about what they will be doing in Year 2.
