Wow! We can’t believe the first week back is over already and what a week it has been. 1BN have all had a great first week in year 1 and we are so impressed with how quickly they are settling in.

This week we have spent a lot of time going over the routines and expectations in year 1. The children have been practicing ‘ACE walking’ and should be able to tell you what this means and what it looks like. They have also been recapping what it means if an adult asks them to show 5; eyes looking, ears listening, lips locked, hands still and smart feet.

It has been great to spend time with the children in provision this week, really getting to know them and what their likes and interests are. We have had lots of different activities happening like writing, drawing, painting, reading, counting, building and so much more. The weather has been a challenge this week as our classroom gets so hot and the children have coped really well but I am sure they will all be ready for a good rest this weekend.

Finally a warm welcome to Ahed who has joined 1BN this week, the children have been fantastic at showing her the rules and routines and making her feel really welcome.
