Well over the last few weeks Year One have turned into professional job hunters! We have explored what a CV looks like and even learnt what it stands for in Latin... Curriculum Vitae - "Course of life". Together we wrote our own CV showcasing our skills and talents in Year one! Today, we learnt how to address an envelope and delivered our CV to a member of our Senior Leadership Team! Mr Brinkley appeared and we shared our talents and how we would love to be considered for fut

The children have been very fortunate to be visited by one of our wonderful parents, Lori Fischer, who is a biologist. She came in to speak to all of the children about bioplastics and even demonstrated how they can be produced from a natural substance... Starch, which can be extracted from potatoes or corn! She then allowed the children to have a go at making their own bioplastics by using corn starch. All the children were fascinated by the process! Thank you so much for vo

On the final day of term, our school community came together for a very special Easter service at St Eanswythe's Church. Over the past few weeks, the children have been busy preparing songs, poems, artwork and readings to help retell the Easter story. It was a truly collaborative celebration, with every class contributing something unique and meaningful. The service began with a joyful reflection on Palm Sunday, with Ducklings waving palm leaves and singing, setting the scene

This week, the children of St Eanswythe’s took part in our much-loved Easter Bonnet Parade, bringing a wonderful splash of colour and creativity to our local community. After some careful crafting at home, the children arrived at school proudly with their spectacular Easter bonnets. Each one was unique, decorated with bright spring flowers, chicks, eggs and ribbons, a real celebration of the season! We then set off on a special parade around The Bayle and the churchyard of St

Today in Owls Class, we became geographers as we explored the fascinating world of rivers! We began by learning that a river is like a long, winding road made of water. We discovered that every river has a source, where it begins high up in the mountains, and a mouth, where it ends in a sea, ocean or lake. The children quickly became confident using new geographical vocabulary. We also explored some of the world’s most famous rivers, including the Nile, the Amazon and the Riv

As part of our Healthy Me topic in PSHE this term, today Year 1 have been learning all about how to keep their teeth clean and why this is so important for our overall health and wellbeing. With Mrs Semple, the children explored the role of the dentist and how they help us to look after our teeth. We shared our own experiences of visiting the dentist, helping to build confidence and understanding around these important check-ups. During our class discussion, the children dre

Year 1 had an amazing day making their own fruit smoothies! They started by learning how fruits grow and how flowers turn into tasty fruits. 🌱🍎 Next, the children became smoothie designers, choosing their favourite fruits, using a class word bank, writing ingredient lists and creating bright, colourful labels for their cups. After learning about knife safety and chopping their fruit carefully, each child added their ingredients to a blender to make their very own smoothie.

In PSHE this term our Key Stage One classrooms have been full of little heroes learning big life skills! We have been learning all about how to call for help and how to use simple first aid if someone needs us. We have explored what an emergency actually is and when we might need to ask an adult for help or call 999. To help us remember what to do, we did lots of fun role plays. Some children pretended to be helpers, some were callers and some were the emergency services. We
