1C - Mrs Collinson - Hi Everyone!
 
Another great week in Year 1!  The children have really shown how grown up they can be and seem to all be enjoying their time in their new class...hope they are saying the same to you when they are at home!!
 
Here's what the children have said they have enjoyed learning about this week;
 
Emma said     'I liked my walk around the school.  I saw cars and flowers and a sign that said 2 and a 0, that means slow down.'
MItchell said   'We had fun walking around the school.  I saw a zebra crossing and my house and zig zags on the road.'
James said     'I liked golden time because we can play.  I do like early work though.  We learnt the digraph 'th' and its funny because you have to stick your tongue out.'
 
Have a great weekend!

6H - Mr Hautler - Wow! that was a quick week. Time certainly does fly when you are having fun. We have all worked extremely hard this week and are looking forward to a well earned break over the weekend. Mr Hautler has said he is very pleased to see his class taking responisbility for their own learning by completing homework tasks on time(not leaving it to the last minute) and asking when we are not sure. This is good practice for Year 7!
