Everyone in Early Years 1 has had a wonderful start to the year and now first term is over. The highlights have been getting to know our classmates and the other children in the Early Years sector, learning the routines of being at school and having fun. A big highlight of every week is going to the library and choosing new books. Some of us love our books so much we keep them again! We have learnt so much in a short time and it’s easy to see how much we enjoy being at school. We have planted some strawberry plants and flowers in our little garden but with all the rain we haven’t had to do much watering. Our last session of basketball with Coach Tim demonstrated how many skills we have learnt and how good we are at following directions and taking turns. Our Easter activities on Friday were fun and were a good chance to do some activities together and to show off our listening skills during the story and the dancing we have been doing throughout the term. On Friday we’re having the PBL (Positive Behaviour for Learning) rewards activity. This term it’s a movie and popcorn. We’ll also be visiting the Ardy Shop on Friday with our Ardy tickets to see what we can buy with them. We were very excited to be awarded our Bronze Ardy certificates on parade last week, to celebrate our efforts this term.

Thank you for your support over the term. We are a team. Happy Easter and have a safe holiday.
