• KS1 are Super Learners…

  Fri 02 Oct 2026

  It’s been a another great week of learning on Key Stage One.

   

  The Year 2 children have been working on place value this week in Maths and ordering numbers smallest to greatest and vice versa. 

   

  In Guided Reading, we have been using dictionaries to locate words and find their definitions - this is a very tricky skill but they did really well. 
   

  In Year 1 children have been learning about 1 more and 1 less in Maths. 

  They have been fantastic Phonics superstars. 

  The children thoroughly enjoyed a 'Let's Say' for Poetry Day. We imagined that we were waiting for a steam train and had to decide where we were going and what we were going to do at the destination. Well done Year 1
