This year has been a tale of two halves. However, despite that, it has been another fabulous year of learning in Year 1, filled with questioning, problem-solving and innovations. The children have grown into independent, responsible, creative, resilient learners who have often led their own learning and continued to wow us!

Whilst we were in school, there were never two days quite the same in Year 1. From the moment our children entered through the doors in the morning there were always new adventures and exciting discoveries. One day we could be busy being crime scene detectives, on the hunt for who stole the Giant’s golden harp, the next we were scientists, exploring ‘how to catch a rainbow’. However, one thing that remained consistent each day was the children’s wonderfully positive attitude towards their learning!. Some of our favourite adventures this year have included a trip to Dubai Miracle Garden, where we got to discover some of the beautiful gardens and saw some of our favourite characters made from flowers. We also had great fun at Green Planet, where we were taken on a journey of discovery through the layers of the rainforest and learned about the different animals that lived there. During our Year 1 assembly, we had great fun sharing our learning with visitors ‘Bob’ and ‘Moonbeam’. We were so proud of the children’s hard work and the confidence that they displayed on stage.

During our online learning, our Year 1’s have been nothing short of incredible! It was a new way of learning for everyone and their positive attitude remained throughout. They adapted and continued to work incredibly hard. They have worked collaboratively, invented stories together, wrote traditional tales with a twist, filmed weather reports, performed poems, baked cakes, sang songs, made clocks and used anything and everything when learning in Maths, proving that Mathematics really is all around us! The list could go on and on. We would like to thank all our parents in Year 1 for their continued support and commitment over the year, working in partnership with the Year 1 team to best support the children’s learning. We wish all our fabulous Year 1 children the very best in their future adventures in Year 2.
