Hello new friends, it's time to cheer, we're starting school—our big new year!
We’ll learn to count and write and read, and help each other when in need.
We’ll paint and play and sing a song, and know that here, we all belong.

Life is busy in Year 1 and we get up to all sorts of things......

***  We have lots of fun with our friends ***

We are all artists - such super self portraits! 

Our first topic is 'Our Colourful World' and we are looking at different colours all around us.

We read a story about 10 back dots, we had to use our imagination and make up our own black dot pictures...are you impressed?! We also designed and decorated our own Baa Baa Black Sheep pictures. We ripped paper to make animal patterns - can you guess which is a cow, a panda or maybe a zebra? 

Look at our colourful name writing display! Can you find mine? 

As part of our colour topic we have been exploring light and dark. Can you see our shadows in the sun...we worked in pairs to do some chalk shadow art in the playground.

The 'Rainbow Fish' story is a favourite in year 1. (Click on his picture above to get a link to an online story) We love his colourful shiny scales.

It teaches us how important it is to be a good friend and to share with others. 

We heard all about Joseph and his lovely colourful coat. Do you like our colourful coat designs? We used felts, paint and the computer. Best of all we made colourful sprinkle biscuits...so yummy! 

We had a great day at Gortin Glen Forest Park ....we walked the Gruffaol trail, collected cones for squirrels, built a hedgehog house, said hello to some deer, had our packed lunch and enjoyed a visit to the playpark. It was an action packed day and some of us even had a snooze on the bus journey home!
