This month we have been very busy, Pumpkin Week, Hedgehog Week, French Day, learning about St. Catherine, painting poppies, creating Nativity displays and Crib Blessings... as well as our daily learning, exploring and investigating!
YEAR 1: Year 1 have completed their first Science topic - Animals Including Humans. In this unit we learned about human and animal bodies, considering differences and similarities.
