This week in Class Romero, we’ve been busy learning and exploring across all subjects! In Science, we started our new topic on the life cycle of a frog, and the children were fascinated to learn about frogs—next week we’ll be looking closely at frogspawn! In Design and Technology, we continued exploring chassis and axles, and the children are excited to begin designing their own vehicles. In History, we stepped back in time to discover how Christmas was celebrated in the Victorian era, comparing traditions from the past with those we know today. In English, Year 1 have been learning about non-fiction books and their key features, and next week they’ll start collecting information to create their own China fact files. Reception have impressed us with their fantastic sentence writing inspired by Mog’s Birthday and have loved getting creative in our birthday-themed provision. It’s been a wonderful week of learning in Class Romero, and we’re looking forward to all the exciting activities next week will bring!

What a wonderful first week of Spring One it has been in Class Romero. The children have settled back into our daily routines brilliantly. We have begun our new units for this half term, and the children are particularly enjoying our DT unit on wheels and axles. This week, we also celebrated Epiphany Day and my birthday! It was lovely to mark these occasions with the children by taking part in a range of fun and engaging activities together. In maths, Year 1 have been exploring numbers above 20, practising counting forwards and backwards. Reception children have been investigating the number 0, identifying what is and what is not zero. In English, the children have been writing about their Christmas holidays, and it has been a pleasure chatting with them about everything they enjoyed over the break. In history, we created our own personal timelines. The children were especially amazed when they saw baby photos of me! I am looking forward to another busy and exciting week in school.

It has been a festive and busy week in Class Romero, starting off with our stay and play. It was lovely to watch the children showing their families around their learning space. Rehearsals for our Nativity performance are in full swing now, the children are thoroughly enjoying this time with the rest of the school. Please continue to support your child with practising their lines.
As part of our geography topic we have been on a virtual tour around Hoghton, identifying our local physical and human features! The children loved the yellow figure on Google Maps! In English we have been busy writing our wishes for Christmas, and our Reception children have begun writing short sentences! I am looking forward to another festive week in school - this is my favourite time of the year!

It has been a wonderfully productive week in Romero Class! We have begun our Nativity preparations and joyfully led a Celebration of the Word. Inviting parents into school made the occasion even more special—the children loved sharing their reflections and missions with their families. In geography, we explored compass directions and had great fun putting our learning into practice outdoors. Year 1 have been diving deeper into addition and
subtraction, while Reception have been busy investigating the numbers 4 and 5. In English, the children are thoroughly enjoying their new topic books, which carry a delightful hint of Christmas magic. It’s been a week filled with learning, creativity, and community spirit—Romero Class are truly shining!
