Wow! Year 1 put on an amazing performance of Katy Perry’s Firework during our St. Oz Music Festival. We were beyond proud of each and everyone of you! We all had a great time and can’t wait for next year.
This afternoon Year 1 had a visit from NatWest Bank. The children took part in the ‘making sense of money’ workshop.
This involved answering questions about: What is money? How do we get money? What can we do with money? What can we buy? and What is a business? The children then completed an activity of setting up their own smoothie business, they were given £25 and used their maths skills to decide on what they needed to start their business and how to budget.
Finally, the children made their own posters to advertise their smoothies!
Year 1 enjoyed a visit to Hebburn hub library this afternoon to return our books. The lovely Tracey read us a story and we explored the library independently. The library staff commented on the children’s enthusiasm and their love for reading.
This morning Year 1 were very lucky to take part in a Maths Adventure session. The children went on a magical mystery quest to tidy the castle for the Queen. This involved the children working in teams to complete a variety of Maths activities linked to skills they have learnt this year.
Year 1 had a great Euro day! They learnt all about the Euro’s, the countries participating and had lots of fun singing, dancing and crafting!
Year 1 raised awareness today for Red Heart Health Day. The children and staff wore red/hearts and donated £1 to support two children in our school community 
Year 1 loved their PE session this afternoon! They were all so excited to play “Dishes and Domes” and “Tadpoles” games which focused on lots of teamwork! The hall was very loud from all of the cheering!
For Worship this week, Year 1 have been looking at how we can be agents of change around cancer. The children looked at different types of Cancer and which ribbons represented these. Year 1 staff were extremely proud of how mature the children were around a very sensitive topic.
Our year 1 children LOVED Aspiration’s Day! They visited and spoke to lots of different people and chatted about their jobs – what a busy, but fantastic day!
On Friday, Year 1 presented Mr Scrafton with their letters, asking him to support their cause and become an Agent of Change himself!
In their letters, the children asked for his help to create a friendship station to be rolled out to the whole school, to support those children struggling socially. We also handed him our designs to help him. Thank you for becoming an Agent of Change Mr Scrafton!
