It has been a wonderful week in Class Romero! We began with Parents’ Evening, and it was truly lovely meeting with you all. Thank you for your continued support. In RE, we learned about the special story of The Last Supper. The children were fully engaged and acted out the story beautifully. We even enjoyed trying a hot cross bun to help us remember this important moment in Holy Week. In art, the children have sketched the outlines for their popart self‑portraits. Next week, they will begin adding bright, bold colours to bring their artwork to life! In geography, we explored the adventures of Christopher Columbus and created a personal timeline of the key events in his remarkable life. Next week, we will be heading out on our class trip to Martin Mere. I’m very much looking forward to an exciting and busy day out of school with the children!

It has been a beautiful, sunny and busy week in Class Romero! We have loved taking our learning outdoors— the children have thoroughly enjoyed exploring, investigating, and discovering new things in our outdoor environment. We began the week with an incredible World Book Day, filled with exciting activities and inspiring workshops. The children looked absolutely superb in their costumes! Year 1 have been busy planning and writing their own adventure stories, and their work has been fantastic. They have all put in such great effort—well done, Year 1! Reception have continued developing their sentence writing, and they are all making brilliant progress. We also had a wonderfully messy outdoor art lesson, experimenting with mark-making and colour mixing. In RE, we have been learning about the first part of Holy Week and creating our own palm leaves ready for our parade. Alongside this,
we have delved further into our explorers unit, looking at some extraordinary journeys made by significant people from around the world. I am very much looking forward to meeting with you all at parents’ evening.

It has been a wonderful, fluffy and joyful week in Class Romero! We welcomed some very cute, loud, and cheeky chicks into our classroom. They have filled our days with smiles, curiosity, and excitement. The children loved caring for them and learning all about the lifecycle of a chick. This week, we also began our new units across the curriculum. The children have thoroughly enjoyed exploring Pop Art, as well as learning about famous explorers in History. Next week, Year 1 will be planning and writing their very own adventure stories in English. Reception will be writing and drawing about adventure-themed questions inspired by 'Billy and The Pirates'. In Maths, Year 1 have begun exploring place value within 50, focusing on counting and grouping in tens. Reception have been exploring length, height, and time through handson practical activities. We have especially loved taking our learning outdoors, making the most of practical experiences to deepen understanding. I am looking forward to another exciting week ahead, starting with World Book Day, where we will be engaging in drama sessions and CAFOD workshops.

It has been a wonderful first half term of Spring. The children have grown in confidence and continued to nurture their love of learning. To end our week, we led a Prayer and Liturgy for parents, centred on sharing peace and love with one another. Thank you to all the parents who joined us for this special time of reflection. This week, we brought our curriculum units to a close, and the children have thoroughly enjoyed each topic. In R.E, we created our own “helping hands” bunting to show how we can offer love and care to those in our community. Year 1 have planned and written their own poems inspired by animals, while Reception have been busy designing a new dress and headpiece for the “Carnival Queen.” On Friday afternoon, the children illustrated and wrote about their favourite celebration of the year, discussing the different celebrations we have explored this half‑term. I am very much looking forward to another busy and exciting half‑term as we journey towards Easter.
