Year One have loved reading, sequencing, retelling and acting the story of ‘The Lost Wolf’ by Mini Grey. They have completed freeze frames for the different scenes from the story, and using the language from the book, retold the story in their own words! Their acting skills were amazing and the main character, Little Red,…

Year One have had a great week exploring many different areas of the curriculum! From identifying and classifying trees and plants in the (rather muddy) woods to building Sukkah’s as part of their RE work on Sukkot to investigating number and ordering from smallest to greatest and vice versa, they’re really impressing their teachers! Year…

They enjoyed their walk, their chippy lunch and a play before…
