Year 1 – Cooling down with water pistols.

Splish, Splash, Soaking Fun! 💦☀️

Another heatwave meant another perfect opportunity to cool down with our water pistols!

Mrs Sturrock’s class had a fantastic end to the day with a very exciting water pistol fight. Everyone joined in and had lots of fun spraying and dodging water as we tried to stay cool in the heat.

By the end, everybody was very wet – but no one was wetter than Mrs Sturrock! She was a favourite target and definitely took the biggest soaking of all.

There were lots of smiles, laughter and happy memories as we enjoyed some well-deserved fun together. What a great way to finish the day! 💦😄☀️

Careers Day in Year 1.

Careers Day Fun! 👩‍⚕️👮‍♂️🚔

Mrs Sturrock’s class had a fantastic time during our Careers Day today. We learned about lots of different jobs and discussed where money comes from.

We were also lucky enough to welcome some very special visitors: a real doctor and three police officers! The doctor showed us some of the equipment she uses to care for her patients, and we even had the chance to listen to each other’s heartbeats.

The police officers gave us a tour of their police car – the siren was very loud! They also showed us the protective clothing they wear to keep themselves safe while doing their important jobs. We were surprised by how heavy it was.

To finish off our exciting day, we even dressed Mrs Sturrock up in the police uniform! We all had lots of fun while learning about the important roles people play in our community.

A big thank you to our visitors for helping to make our Careers Day so memorable. 🌟

Year 1 Water fight Friday Afternoon (10.7.26)

Good afternoon,

As you are aware, tomorrow is expected to be very hot. The children had so much fun during our water fight in the last heatwave that we have decided to organise another one as a special way to help them cool down tomorrow afternoon.

Please can your child bring something suitable for the water fight, such as a named water pistol. We will also provide additional equipment for the children to use.

The water fight will take place at the end of the school day, so please be aware that the children may come home a little damp. If your child attends ASC, they are welcome to bring a change of clothes.

The children have coped exceptionally well with the recent hot weather and thoroughly deserve a bit of fun!

Thank you for your support.

Year 1 Team 😊

Year 1 walk to the Park

We are planning a walk to the Park on Monday 6th July in the afternoon. Please can you ensure your child has a hat, extra sun cream and is wearing sensible shoes such as trainers. They  are able to wear their normal school uniform. We will be taking their water bottle with us and something nice to snack on!
