Happy Easter from P1A!

Miss Smith and Mrs Broadley are delighted with all the hard work our pupils have achieved.

We will be putting up this super work as a display in the school.

In RE we learned about Palm Sunday and Jesus coming into Jerusalem on a donkey.  The people waved palms and said ‘Hosanna’.

In maths we have been listening to a song about numbers.  Not just counting in 1s but in 2s, 5s and 10s.  It is easy peasy! Miss Stebbing has been very impressed with how well we have remembered our doubles sums.

In Topic we learned about the lifecycle of a frog.  We have made a special display in our classroom to show our learning.

At outdoor learning we had bubbles to play with.  It was great fun!  We also had chalk and some people drew pictures of minibeasts.  The fairy garden was also out for us to play with.

The lead learners this week have encouraged everyone to try their best and have shown kindness and respect to everyone in the class, in the playground and in the Dinner Hall.
