What a week we’ve had in Year 1,

With shapes, experiments and Christmas fun!

The children explored 2D and 3D shapes,

Using them—what did they create?

In science they’ve been using their senses—what could they smell? What did they taste? 

Sweet, salty, bitter, sour or bland—some might be able to guess from the look on their face!

 

Taking time to enjoy a story or two, 

Playing outside with all of our friends, too. 

Building nets and 3D shaped snowmen, 

Remembering the names and faces of shapes again. 

 

We went to church and made a Christingle there, 

Joining together for a service and prayer. 

We’ve enjoyed singing hymns and Christmas songs loudly,

Today’s Christmas dinner was shared with each other proudly!

 

A busy end to our Autumn term, 

So much done and so much learned. 

Year 1 are now ready for some Christmas cheer, 

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
