Week Beginning 12th January 
We have had a busy week of learning in Key Stage 1! The children enjoyed sorting food packaging into food groups within their Science lesson and used great vocabulary like 'healthy', 'dairy' and 'carbohydrates'. In Geography, we have begun looking at the Isle of Struay (based on the Isle of Coll) within the story of Katie Morag and the Two Grandmothers. The children were excellent in spotting human and physical features and used their locational knowledge wonderfully. Phonics groups have got off to a good start and we have been really impressed with the amount of reading children have been doing on a daily basis across the phase.

Week Beginning 6th January

It has been a wonderful week back at school and the children have settled back into their routines really well. We have all been reading a book entitled 'Clean Up' by Nathan Bryon.
The children have loved reading about the adventures of Rocket and how she creates her own 'Clean Up Crew' to tidy a beach in her grandparents coastal home.
We will be continuing this story next week as well as commencing our new phonics groups. In Science, we have started our new unit on Animals Including Humans and looked at the basic needs for survival. The children were excellent at recognising what a living thing needs to survive and we are looking forward to seeing their learning progress. Finally, we completed lots of PSHE and wellbeing related activities this week looking at what we hope to achieve this year and how we can be kind to ourselves, others and the planet.
