Year 1 return to school.

Posted on June 28, 2020 by Mrs A. Hagon • 0 Comments

This week a number of Year 1 pupils returned to school after a 12 week period of home learning.

They were all so pleased to see some of their friends again and begin learning in school.

Year 1 have completed some super Literacy and Maths activities in their Year 1 bubbles.

Lots of our activities have taken place outside because of the super weather.

On Friday we had a celebration to celebrate our hard work and the end of our first week back in school.

We can’t wait to see the rest of our Year 1 friends in September!
