School Closes for Spring Half Term - 13th February 2026 at 15:00

Week 2

Hello R1 families!

The children have really enjoyed finding out about space and the solar system this week. We have shared lots of books, ordered the planets according to their size, designed our own aliens and made collage rockets.

In maths we have found a balance and explored and compared capacity and been working hard with our handwriting and writing helpful words.

Below are two of the books that the children have really enjoyed this week. I thought you might like to share them together at home.
