Congratulations!

What a fantastic week we've had in Year 1 and Year 2!

In Maths, we've been exploring 3D shapes, learning to recognise them and talk about their properties. The children loved investigating different shapes and finding out about their faces, edges and vertices.

In Language, we've been reading The Day the Crayons Quit and using it as inspiration for our own writing. The children have written some brilliant letters and diary entries, and we've loved seeing their creativity and sense of humour shine through.

As part of our inquiry work, we've continued learning about growth mindset. We've been setting ourselves challenges, talking about how it feels when things are difficult, and thinking about how practice, determination and not giving up can help us get better at something. The children have had some great discussions and have really embraced the idea of challenging themselves.

It's been a lovely end to our first half term together. We have been so impressed with how well the children have settled into their new classrooms, got used to new routines, and made new friends. They have worked hard, shown kindness to one another and should all be very proud of themselves.

We hope you all have a wonderful half-term break filled with lots of fun, rest and family time.

Happy weekend everyone, and thank you for all your support this half term!
