Welcome to Year 1!

Highlight of the week 6/10/25: Year One have been busy, planting beans and writing up posters on,’ How to Plant a Bean.’ So, they can share with their family all the information they would need to plant their own bean! Year One also had a very exciting live History lesson with Grannie Jennie - learning all about how she celebrated her birthday when she was a child. Year One were fascinated to find out what was the same in how they celebrate their birthdays now and what was different. Thank you Grannie Jennie for visiting Willow Class and sharing your stories.

Highlight of the week 22/09/25: What a wonderful launch day! The children looked fabulous in their dress up from the past! We spent the afternoon looking at items from the past and sorting them into oldest to newest. They were great history detectives looking at the materials items were made from, discovering their function and then putting them on a rough timeline. Well done Willows Class (and well done parents for the creative costumes!).

Highlight of the week 8/09/25: Year One are amazing! It’s only been a week back at school, but they are coming to grips with the new routines and learning. The have learnt about the Zones of Regulation. This is where we understand that we all have big feelings sometimes and that’s ok- we just need to use our strategies to get to the zone we need to be in to be safe and happy. The best zone for learning in the classroom is the Green Zone. 
That is when you are calm, focused and ready to learn. Can you guess which picture of Willow Class show 
them in Green Zone?
