Spring has sprung…well it’s supposed to have done.
Even though spring is not quite here, Year 1 have been springing all term and have made a lot of progress. The learning continues to impress us along with the changes we are seeing in attitudes and general behaviour. Here are some of the changes we have seen this spring term:
- Abdullah and Pohnum are trying to be much more independent
- Daanyaal and Abigail are making fantastic progress in maths
- Matteo, Nico, Hibba, Harry and Pippa are impressing us with their use of phonics
- Archie, Owen and Elias have been learning some new art skills
- Megan has found a new talent: creating art using photos
- Grace and Oliver have become our new school councillors and have already been to a few meetings
- Handwriting is no longer a chore for Zach and Enya – we’ve seen a massive improvement
- Noah and Aleena have noticeably improved their listening skills while Sam and Stan have taken on more responsibility
- Neive and Hannan showed some great writing skills when writing instructions (Neive was allowed to be bossy!)
- Well done to Matthew: he has improved his spelling scores this term
- Pavan and Saleem have made excellent contributions to our SEAL lessons showing how we should think about other people
- Isobel, Edward and Nishaan have started to take ‘safe risks,’ meaning that they are contributing more and not so worried about making mistakes
As you can see, we’ve been very busy this term. Have a relaxing holiday and come back for more learning on 15 April.
