Spring Term 2026
We have been very busy this term! The children loved coming dressed up as book characters for World Book Day. We also celebrated Children’s Mental Health Week with the theme ‘This is My Place’. The children designed 3D rooms of the places that mean the most to them. We enjoyed doing experiments during science week and ending it with a fantastic presentation of work for parents to see.
Autumn Term 2025
The Year 1 children have settled into their new classes very well and have enthusiastically taken part in all aspects of their learning. We have been extremely proud of their attitudes and efforts. We all thoroughly enjoyed art week and looking at the work of Andy Goldsworthy. We used his art work as inspiration to create our own pieces out of natural resources. The children have been busy practising their counting and sorting skills in mathematics and have begun to calculate their own addition sentences by filling in part whole models. In history, the children have really enjoyed learning about the local historical figure: Sir Titus Salt. They’ve learnt about what life was like in Saltaire during the Victorian period. The children have produced some lovely poems about their senses in English lessons. In geography, we have enjoyed learning about the different countries in the United Kingdom and looking at maps closer to home. The children have navigated maps and created their own aerial maps of the classroom using keys.
