On Thursday we celebrated World Book Day 2026. Our theme was 'Perfectly Norman' written by Tom Percival. This was such a lovely book with the underlining theme of the importance of being ourselves and being proud of who we are. Year 1 loved reading and chatting about the book and the children talked about their reasons for their chosen costume. Rosie's mum kindly brought in some real fossils from the Jurassic Coast of North Yorkshire which we all loved looking at.

A great first week back! Year 1 have loved learning about another famous woman in history, Mary Anning, the fossil finder. We enjoyed making a visual timetable and have developed our knowledge of the timescale of when Dinosaurs lived on Earth. We have done some lovely handwriting and have enjoyed exploring our new provision areas. Today we had a mass to mark the beginning of Lent and received our ashes.
