What a lovely start to our year we have had, with the sun shining it has given us all a huge smile as we have re settled into school life. We began our Monday as a whole school, sharing a beautiful worship led by Mrs Gregan. Our worship was all about the creation and the take away message was ‘to be kind’ this year. To act with kindness and love towards one another and our world, a task we will certainly take on in Year 2!

Following our time of prayer together, we returned to our classroom and we began to think about how we wanted our classroom to feel, what rules we felt were really important to us all, and together we have created our classroom rules which we are all working hard to follow.

On Tuesday we visited our school chapel, thinking all about our school mission statement, “You are precious in my eyes.” We listened to a lovely piece of scripture, all about how we are God’s friends, and he is here to guide and help us. We have each been given a special star, which has our mission statement on as a reminder, we have put these safely in our pencil cases for those moments when we might need that extra bit of help or courage from God.

We have also taken part in our first ART, SCIENCE and PE lessons, with great excitement!

Certificates: See our wonderful winner!!! So hard to choose!
