How can sitting on a bus make you a hero?
There was a lady in America who was arrested for not giving her seat up on a bus. She was a black American lady and she was arrested because she did not give up her seat for a white man.
Why is she a hero?
She is a hero because she fought for the rights of black people in America. Here are some photos of Y1 doing some drama while learning about Rosa Parks.
Challenge Corner
Challenges in Maths have been welcomed by the Year 1 children – they are always up for a challenge! There are different challenges in this corner over two weeks; they will relate to some learning that the children have already done but will extend their thinking even more. These challenges should develop the children’s independence while pushing their learning even further.
How many will you get?
There has been some tricky maths going on in Year 1. Grouping and sharing, the beginnings of division, has had the brains ticking more than ever. Lots of practical work and some very resilient attitudes have shown that we can divide in Year 1.
Congratulations!
Congratulations to Evie and Poppy who were elected as the school councillors for Reception Class.
Well done to all the other candidates as well. We were really impressed with how confidently and clearly everyone spoke.
“Run, run, as fast as you can!”
Having spent three weeks learning, acting out and writing about the Gingerbread Man, Year 2 decided to try and make our own. But did it come to life?
In groups, we seived, beat, stirred and kneaded until we had a rich, brown dough that smelt delicious! We then cut out our Gingerbread shapes and popped them into the oven – just like Granny!
The staff in the office were teased by the tempting scents that wafted in their direction and, with mouths watering, we took out our perfectly cooked Gingerbread. Don’t worry! It wasn’t running!
Here are our decorations.

We have ten chicks! Most are now in the brooder box. Feel free to pop in after school next week to have a look at them!

Miss Valentine arrived at school early this morning to find that we had our first chick! The chick has been very patient waiting for the other chicks to hatch. Unfortunately, they’re still not quite ready so it’s still waiting!
More updates will follow!
