Year 1

Welcome to Year 1!

Thank you for visiting our Year 1 page. We will be sharing lots of the activities, visits and events that we have been involved in on this page. We hope you enjoy sharing our learning with us. 

Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside!

On Monday 27th January the Year One children enjoyed a wonderful visit from History Off the Page. We found out all about how people got to the seaside many years ago and the things that they enjoyed doing when they got there. We spent our morning trying on old seaside clothes, making souvenirs such as shell boxes and looking at old coins among other activities. Armed with our train tickets, we took a virtual steam train to the seaside and enjoyed an afternoon on the pier; visiting the cafe, buying souvenirs, playing games like 'hook-a-duck' and having photographs taken. Miss Victoria told us all about the old swimming costumes and horse-drawn bathing huts as well as how ice creams were to blame for the spread of many germs in the old days. We finished the day off with a traditional Punch and Judy show which the children all very much enjoyed.

We all had a fantastic day and learnt a lot about how the seaside has changed - but also how some things are still very much the same.

Thank you to all of the parents who came in to help us make this such a successful day and to FOT for letting us use some of our Hooks and Highlights budget on this event. Thank you also to History Off the Page for making the day so enjoyable and lively for the children.
