Hey Ho,Hey Ho! It's off to school we go.

We work all day, have fun and play. Hey Ho,Hey Ho!

We are leaning all about 'Our Colourful World'

We are looking out for different colours in rhymes.

Little Boy Blue     Baa Baa Black Sheep     10 Green Bottles     

We enjoyed a colour story about Little Mouse and the Big Red Apple

We love the story of colourful RAINBOW FISH and how he learnt to share his beautiful shiny silver scales. We had to think how we could share.

We heard the story of Noah and his big ark. We were thinking about the colours and patterns of all the animals and the beautiful rainbow.

We were thinking of the animals in the ark and their different colour patterns - do you like our spotty and stripy artwork?

We loved the story of Elmer the colourful patchwork elephant.

Our 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear What do you see?' story has so many different colourful animals in it! We made beautiful story telling hangers

We had a great time moving and grooving with Justin and 'Move to the Beat'

We went on an autumn walk in school and looked at all the shapes, sizes and colours of the lovely leaves.

We had a great adventure to Gortin Glen Forest Park - we went on a long walk and we could see lots of signs of autumn.

We followed the animal clues to find the Gruffalo! 

All that walking made us all hungry! 

We had a great time in the playpark! Such a busy and fun day! 

Our autumn topic, Down in the Woods, is helping us think about natural objects we see around us. We went to our very own woodland area and collected things to help us create a artistic masterpiece...can you guess which famous character we made?

The Gruffalo story is a Year 1 favourite and we are doing lots of learning activites about it!

We have been learning all about owls.

I hope you like the puppets we designed.

Yummy! Thanks to the school kitchen for a delicious Christmas Dinner today! Lot's of clean plates..

A Marvellous Miracle

Look at the fabulous cast of our Year 1 Nativity.

They did a great job performing, acting, singing...well done everyone! 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Year 1! Lots of festive fun! 

Ho Ho Ho....look who came to visit us today at school! 

Santa told everyone in year 1 they were on his 'nice' list....he promised he would be be back in Castlederg next week again so we better go to bed early!!

We had great fun taking part in our Santa charity walk today. We did a few laps around the school and lots of pupils cheered us on! Thanks to all the School Council for organising! 

Happy 2025 everyone!

The new year started off with snow, frost and ice....we thought we would make cute snowmen that would never melt!!

We are getting active to start the new year keeping fit and healthy. Look at our gymnastic moves!!

Our learning topic is called 'FABULOUS FASHION' and we are exploring all things clothes related.

We designed our own hat and mittens to keep us warm on a cold day.

Look at our Warm Winter Woolly Wear display!        Cosy and cute!
