Stars of the Week: Leon and Dhani
In our science lesson this week, Leon and Dhani used impressive scientific vocabulary to describe the properties of everyday materials and why they are important. They correctly explained that windows are made of glass because glass is transparent.
This week in Class 1
I hope you all had a wonderful and restful Christmas break! It’s been lovely to see everyone return to school refreshed and ready to learn.
Class 1 have settled right back in and hit the ground running—full steam ahead! This week, we dived into our new science topic: Everyday Materials.
To kick off the topic, we sat together in a circle and explored a variety of materials. The class did a fantastic job identifying the different properties of each material. We heard some brilliant use of scientific vocabulary, including words like transparent, flexible, and rigid. It was impressive to see how confidently Class 1 used these terms!
Next, we ventured on a materials hunt around the school. The children spotted objects made of wood, metal, plastic, and more, while discussing their properties and uses.
Well done, Class 1, for a fantastic first week back! Have a look at the bottom of the post for information about Spellings.

Spellings
Dear Parents and Carers,
Your child will have a spelling test every Monday. Please make sure spelling books are brought in each Monday in preparation for this. Children will get a new set of spellings each week, these will be stuck into their spelling books. You may use the page the spellings are on for practice, but please do not use further pages.
I will upload the spelling words each week, in case children lose their spellings.
If you have any questions, please come and ask me or Margaret
