Welcome to Year 1! Mrs Snowden is the lead teacher and is supported by Mrs Smith. In Year 1 we build upon and extend the experiences that children have had in the Foundation Stage. Learning through play continues to be an important part of the school day, with the children being gradually eased into more formal learning as the year goes on. Our topics in Year 1 are All About Me’, ‘Toys’ and ‘Change’. We go on exciting visits to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, the Build-a-Bear Workshop, Southwell Minster, Mr Straw’s House and also on a ‘Worksop Walkabout’. Phonics is taught daily in Year 1 and plays an important role in learning to read and spell words.

Welcome to Year 3! This year the children get the opportunity to study a variety of new and exciting topics, with opportunities to ask questions and find the answer to these in their lessons. Our autumn term topics focus on keeping healthy, where the children become experts on healthy living, and a study of Ancient Egypt, where the children find out about the Egyptians and how they lived. In the spring term, we learn all about the weather and climate of this country and in Brazil. The children will also have a visit in this topic to Perlethorpe and will use speacilist equipment to help them understand the weather more. Finally, in our summer term, we go back in time to study the Stone Age. The children have the opportunity to understand how life now is different to how it was in the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. We also visit Creswell Crags to learn about how these eras have impacted on our local history.

Welcome to Year 4. We have some very exciting things to look forward to between now and Christmas. The children are becoming experts on our topic of World War Two and have been playing the part of evacuee children very well! We were horrified to discover some of our favourite foods were rationed during the war and not available!  After half term we are really looking forward to our school trip to Eden Camp.  In Maths we have been practicing our times tables to songs and dance. Ask your children about ‘Ooh La La!’
We have been writing poetry in English and experimenting with using similes and onomatopoeias.
What a lovely start Year 4!
Mrs Donovan and the Year 4 teaching team.
