KS1 Autumn 2025 Newsletter.

26th August 2025Stuart Longley

Welcome to Key Stage 1 for the Autumn term.

Below is some information about our autumn expedition – Not All Heroes Wear Capes. Page 1 contains an overview of the learning children will take part in and the home learning menu. Children can earn crew coins for any home learning completed.

We would be very grateful if anyone would visit the children as an expert to talk about being a community hero. This could be firefighters, police officers, NHS staff, or community volunteers. The children would love to hear from real-life heroes to make their learning even better!

Page 2 also has details of key dates for the autumn term.

Year 2 will normally have PE on Tuesdays and Year 1 on Thursdays. We will endeavour to notify you of changes where possible.

From Week 3, book bags will be sent home on Mondays and should be returned to school on Fridays.

A few gentle reminders to assist the team in school:

  • Please ensure all clothing is clearly labelled
  • Children should bring water bottles with water or squash in.
  • Stud earrings are permitted, but children must be able to remove these independently for PE.

F2BP party time

12th September 2025Mrs Price

We had lots of fun at our party.
We learnt to be courageous, doing forfeits in pass the parcel. Some children found these tricky and we talked about how we needed to be courageous.

Crew Party in F2M

12th September 2025Joshua Meade

We introduced our first Plover character trait today at our Crew party – courage! We showed great courage to join in our party games and do forefeits infront of our friends. We played musical statues, pass the parcel, musical bumps, had party food and finished with the balloon game! #LovePlover

Making sandwiches ready for the party

11th September 2025Mrs Price

Tomorrow is our party. We are going to be learning about courage as we play different games. Today we made sandwiches using our fine motor skills. All the children were able to spread the margarine and jam really well. They are looking forward to eating them tomorrow.

Making Jam Sandwiches

This afternoon we enjoyed making some jam sandwiches ready for our crew party! First we washed out hands, then spread the butter, next week spread the jam, finally we cut the slice of bread in half to make a sandwich. #LovePlover

Cake Collage

11th September 2025Joshua Meade

We created a cute CAKE collage just like the story ‘Cake’ we have been reading during hook week for our expedition – Marvellous Me! #LovePlover

What is in the surprise box?

9th September 2025Mrs Price

We opened up the box to find out what was inside. There were lots of objects and the children decided that they were for a birthday party. We shared the story “Cake” to hook us into the rest of hook week and painted and collaged the cake for our display. We talked about the different textures.

Compassion in 4B

4th September 2025Laura Brown

On the third day of Crew Week, the class completed some activities to demonstrate the character trait: compassion. We took part in the colour run to raise funds for the school as well as our charity the RSPCA. We also completed a kindness chain to display the kind acts we have done some far this year which we will hopefully add to as the year progresses. Finally, we decorated our own baby egg which we had to show compassion and care for to make sure it didn’t crack.

Well done 4B, we have shown what a kind and compassionate class we can be!

Craftsmanship and Quality in 4B

4th September 2025Laura Brown

On the second day of Crew Week, 4B were learning all about the character trait “Craftsmanship and quality”. We used demonstrated this by creating and critiquing drafts of a poster about our school charity the RSPCA. After several attempts, we produced some beautiful work which we are proud to display in the classroom.
