Our learning journey this week...

Thank you so much to all the families who joined us for our Come and Learn session. We absolutely loved welcoming you into school and sharing the lessons, activities, and approaches we use every day in the classroom. It’s always a pleasure to show you how the children learn best and to offer ideas for simple, fun activities you can try together at home. Your enthusiasm and support make such a positive difference to the children’s confidence and progress.

Over the last two weeks, the children have been carefully nurturing their sunflower plants, and they are incredibly proud of how much they have grown. The sunflowers will be coming home this week, so the children can continue looking after them. We would be delighted to see how tall they grow, so please do share photos and updates with us on Tapestry. The children love seeing their learning celebrated, and it helps us build a wonderful record of their achievements.

In English, the children have been learning all about fact files. We have been exploring how to organise information clearly, use simple facts, and present what we know in a structured way. The children enjoyed becoming little researchers and writers! This links beautifully with our topic, Bright Lights, Big City, where we have been recalling and recording everything we’ve learnt about London. The children were excited to talk about famous landmarks, important buildings, and what makes our capital city so special.

Thank you again for your continued support. We are so proud of the children’s enthusiasm, curiosity, and the brilliant learning they bring to school every day.

As always, our door is open. Please come and see us if you would like to discuss anything further.

Alternatively, we have a year group email year1@wbis.org.uk

Have a lovely weekend! 😊
