Year 1 Preparing for Lent.


Year 1 have made a calender to help us remember that there are 40 days in Lent. We have learnt that Lent is before Easter and is a time to remember Jesus. Children helped make the calender by each drawing a special picture of Jesus. Each day we will open a window and look at and think about Jesus.

Bonds...Number Bonds

The tables clubs have been such a success in school that Mr Conlon has brought out a new club- The Number Bonds Club. Children can demonstrate their knowledge of their number bonds to 10, 20 and even 100!
If you want to practice your tables or your number bonds you can find the tests on the school Number Crunch website.
