Safer Internet Day

For Safer Internet Day 2026, we learnt all about how to stay safe and kind when using the internet. We talked about how the internet helps us learn, play games, and talk to family and friends. We also learned about AI (artificial intelligence) and how it can help us answer questions and create stories, but that we still need to be careful when using it. We know it is important not to share our personal information, like our full name, address, or school, and to always tell a grown-up if something online makes us feel worried or unsure. Together we played a “Safe or Not Safe?” game where we sorted different scenarios and remembered to always Stop, Think, and Tell to help keep ourselves safe online.

Christmas Fun

This half term, Year 1 have enjoyed taking part in lots of exciting Christmas activities! We really enjoyed learning our songs to perform in Church and felt very proud when our grown ups came to watch us. We made sparkly Christmas hats to wear during our Christmas dinner and created our own Christmas calendars to use throughout the new year.

The First Half Term

This half term, Year One have been enjoying their Maths lessons. They have been focusing on counting backwards, finding one more/less than a given number, deciding which number is greater/fewer than the other using the correct symbols and putting numbers in order. They have enjoyed using lots of different resources to help them.

Art - The Great Wave

This half term, year 1 have been very lucky to have Miss Chesney for their Art lessons. We have been learning about Hokusai's ‘The Great Wave’ print. We looked at the different lines that were used and practised these in our sketch books. We cut out our favourite parts of the print and sketched these using pastels and charcoal. We have also enjoyed using ink to create our own prints of Hokusai’s work.

Art - Dream Homes

The children have been working hard to design their dream home using a project from MMU lecturers as a starting point. They looked at the work of George Clarke Architect and thought about the function of their house which led to cardboard models that showed the interior of their house. The children really had scope to use their imagination and some of the houses could transform into moving vehicles.
