Chestnut Year 1

Not long until Christmas, the school is starting to look festive! This week we have shared the book 'You can't take an Elephant on the Bus' by Patricia Cleveland-Peck. It's a really funny story exploring why certain animals can't use certain vehicles. The whale can't use a bicycle because it has no feet! It has given the children the opportunity to use conjunctions (and, but, because) in their writing. In maths we have completed our unit about shape and have started to learn

A reminder we break up for Christmas on Friday 19th December. School finishes at 1.15pm on this date and all children must be collected at this time unless they are in Years 5 & 6 and are a home walker. Monday 5th January is a PD day therefore, school is closed on this day. All pupils return on Tuesday 6th January 2026!

We are holding our Christmas Carol service on Thursday 11th December, 1.30pm at the Baptist Church. All children apart from children in Beech class (Reception) will be taking part in this Carol Service. Beech class children have their Nativity on 5th December. More information can be found for this on the events page of the website. We ask that all parents/carers wishing to attend the Carol Service sign up via the link below and access a free ticket.
