It has been lovely to welcome the new children into school this week. I have been impressed with the level of responsibility shown by those in Year 1, supporting the new starters, showing them around the classroom, and setting up resources for them. The new play builder set has been popular and configured differently each day. Outside, the children have investigated the water wheel and arranged the channels to catch the water.

Indoors, potions were concocted in the sand. We have learnt about Steve Antony, the author our class is named after, and looked at a selection of his books. We used the front covers as inspiration for our class logo, drawing Mr. Panda, Rainbowsaurus and Blip!
