week ending 11th September 2015

Welcome back! We are delighted to welcome all of the children into year one for the start of what will be an exciting and fast paced year. Over the last week the children have settled well into their new classrooms and we have been spending time getting to know them all. We started our new topic 'Ourselves' this week and the children went on a walk around the school to identify things that are alive and things that have never been alive. In English we have been reading the Gruffalo and going on our own walk through the deep dark woods to see who we might meet. Alongside this we have been completing early assessment on phonics and maths so that we can being teaching these areas at the right level and not repeat any work they may have done previously. P.E. started this week with dance and some of the children will be representing the school at the Norfolk Headteachers Conference later this term to showcase their work. More on this to follow... There is an open afternoon on Thursday 24th September where we will be available to talk to you in more details about how your child has settled in and they can show you what they have been up to so far this year.
