Year 1 Phonic Screening Check Week : 9th - 13th June 2025 ( details sent home)

Puxton Park Visits Y1 and Y2:

The children were very lucky and had some special visitors from Puxton Park. They told us all about a range of different animals, their habitat, diet and some unusual facts. This experience served as a fantastic stimulus for their English work, providing them with a wealth of ideas for their learning and writing. The children got to get up close to a scorpion, a tenrek, a chinchilla, a snake, a millipede, a rat, a lizard and a duprasi. The children all had the best time!

Visit From Puxton Park on 17th and 18th March:  As part of our ongoing curriculum enrichment, we will be welcoming a visit from Puxton Park as part of their outreach program. This engaging experience will provide the Year 1 and 2 children with an opportunity to encounter a variety of animals up close, including reptiles and furry creatures. For more details, please see copy of letter below.

The visit will take place over two days:

• Monday 17th March 2025
• Tuesday 18th March 2025

Year 1 and 2 Explorer Dome Visit: This term Phase 1 classes have been learning all about our planet Earth in Geography. They were very excited to have the Explorer Dome in school. They found out all about different habitats and the animals you might find there. They also learnt about the stars and constellations. 

During Parents’ Evenings parents and carers were invited to the Reception and Year 1 Dinosaur fossil and homework project display, all made by the wonderful Phase 1 children. The models and posters the children have made were absolutely fantastic - a display not to be missed!
