In the autumn term, Year 1 students embarked on an exciting fieldwork trip to explore the local area of Greenwich. The purpose of the trip was to investigate and identify both human and physical features, helping the children develop a deeper understanding of their surroundings.

As the students ventured out, they observed various physical features such as trees, grassy areas, hills, and the River Thames. The vibrant autumn leaves provided a colourful backdrop, and the children were encouraged to collect different types of leaves and describe the textures and colours they found. They discussed how the landscape changes with the seasons, noticing the cooler weather and the falling leaves as indicators of autumn.

The end of the academic year has brought about many celebrations of achievements. Reception classes have taken part in a graduation to mark them completing Reception. We are incredibly proud of them and can’t wait to see all that they achieve in Year 1.

To mark the Wimbledon Tennis Championship, Reception children at Peninsula Campus were incredibly grateful to be joined by coach Rose. Rose taught us how to move into a ‘ready position’, as well as return a ball using a forehand shot. We really enjoyed our session and are confident that there are definitely some future tennis stars amongst us!

We took part in our first Cross Country Race. We competed against schools in Greenwich. It was a great day, children gave their best effort and they felt amazing! Well done to all the children that took part. We couldn’t be prouder! This is an annual competition, we hope to be back next year.

We celebrated world book day on 7^th March 2024 and our theme was ‘Incredible journey’s’. We were looking at the book called ‘journey’ by Aaron Becker. We had a whole class assembly where we celebrated each other’s costumes, won prizes and heard a story from Mrs Wainwright. In class, we completed journey themed activities such as adding words to the story and making magical doors.

Teachers were dressed as ‘Where’s Wally’ and children went on a wally scavenger hunt.

We had lots of fun!
