Looking back:

Looking forward:
Next week, the children will go for a lesson with Mrs Freeman into Year 2 on Monday morning.
In English and History, we will be learning about a local significant individual -Sir Bernard Lovell and the Lovell Telescope.
As we near the end of Year 1, we will be consolidating our learning across all subjects through quizzes and games.
In Science, we will look at the impact of sea pollution on sea shore animals.
We will be doing transition sessions across the Infants.

- Please send books in on Thursday, as usual- these will be collected in ready for next year.
