Year 1 - What we are learning

 

CHRISTMAS IS ON ITS' WAY!! The children have been working hard on practising the Nativity this week and we hope that you can all come to enjoy the children's performance next week. 

The children have also had a visit  from someone very special this week. Father Christmas came to Broadford and he gave some children a small present.

Although we have had lots of fun, the children have been working hard as always putting in lots of effort and care into their learning. 

Please continue to read and practice spellings with your children. Please do not forget to sign your children's Reading record book.
