Year 1KW Class assembly

We thoroughly enjoyed learning all about the Christian festival of Harvest and sharing what we discovered in our Year 1 class assembly. The children learned about the importance of giving and helping others, especially during Harvest time, when we think about those who may not have enough food. We had great fun learning new autumn songs and practising our lines for the performance. We hope you enjoyed watching our assembly as much as we enjoyed preparing it. I am incredibly proud of all the children for their hard work, enthusiasm, and confidence. Well done, Year 1!

Year 1 have been learning all about numbers and place value this term, following the. We have been exploring numbers within 10, learning to count forwards and backwards, compare groups, and understand one more and one less. The children have used lots of concrete resources such as counters, cubes, and number tracks to help them build strong number sense. We have worked both in groups and independently to solve problems and explain our thinking. Next term, we will continue to practise and build fluency with our number bonds to 10. Well done, Year 1, for all your fantastic effort and enthusiasm in maths!

This term, we have been learning all about instructional writing! We explored what instructions are, why they are useful, and where we might find them in everyday life. We focused on using time connectives to show the order of steps and imperative verbs to make our writing clear and direct. After practising as a class, we worked in groups and then independently to write our own set of instructions on how to make a jam sandwich. To finish our learning in the tastiest way possible, we followed our instructions to make a real jam sandwich – and of course, Year 1 enjoyed eating them too!

Once our wind vanes were ready, we took them outside to test how well they worked — and they were a great success!

Well done, Year Two!

St Peter's School Council Election, by Miss Hirst

This afternoon, 4H took part in the school council election. Some children came to the front and shared to the rest of the class why they thought that they should be chosen as the school council representative for our class. The children spoke about what personality traits would help them to complete the role and also what they would like to implement to improve aspects of school life. An election then took place for the children to choose who they thought deserved the role for 4H. Well done to all children who took part! The posters that were made for the election looked lovely and I was really impressed with the confidence you held speaking in front of the class!

Harvest, by Mrs Williams

Date: 30th Sep 2025 @ 2:41pm

In RE we have been learning about who Christian people believe created the world and all the wonderful things in it. We created our own Creation Story wheel to show what God created on each day. We have also learned about Harvest festival. Christians celebrate harvest as a special celebration to thank God for the food he shares and how Christian people donate food to others who do not have enough. At St Peters school we have a wonderful growing garden. We explored some of the fruits and vegetables that are growing in our garden.
