Bertie Bunny.

Today we had a special visitor. 

Bertie came to visit us, and we have really looked after him today. He has had a lovely day with us in year 1.

We enjoyed taking part in the Easter cup today.

Today the house teams Romans, Saxons and Vikings set off for an expedition. Together the teams took trails through the countryside just like the explorers we have studied this term. Team Roman were the first team back and placed their flag in the summit!

​​​​​​​We have been tasting bread from around the world as part of our design and technology, we will be evaluating the bread we have tasted, then we will make some exciting choices, watch this space!

Transitions 2022-23

Welcome to Year 1 at Harlaxton CE Primary School. Here is a little information about the class for you if you are due to start here soon. 

Welcome to Year 1

We have a fun filled year planned beginning with the project "How is Britain so GREAT?" For this, we will investigate local and national events that have happened in the past. We will look at the Gunpowder plot, Margaret Thatcher to name a few... 

As well as this, we will continue with Read Write Inc, learning sounds to help us fluent readers, we will write character profiles as well as winter poems. 

Remember to keep coming to the class page to see photographs of us taking part in a range of learning experiences.

Leader in Me

On a daily basis, the children try to demonstrate our core values within school. As we aim to practice them so often, they become good habits that we can use not only in school but also at home too. 

• Habit 1: Be Proactive (You’re in Charge)
• Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind (Have a Plan)
• Habit 3: Put First Things First (Work First, Then Play)
• Habit 4: Think Win-Win (Everyone Can Win)
• Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood(Listen Before You Talk)
• Habit 6: Synergise (Together Is Better)
• Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw (Balance Feels Best)

Growth Mindset

We support the children to develop a Growth Mindset. This aims to increase their resilience, perseverance and independence in their learning. Further information can be found by following the link below.
