Key Stage 1 (Seals and Seahorses) 2023-2024
That is the end of the year! What a year it has been! When we think back to September, to now, we can see how much all the children have grown as learners. We have so many memories from this year, from the topic Great Fire of London, to Pirate day, to the year 2s at Go Ape. It is always sad to say goodbye to our year 2s but we know they will be amazing at their new schools. Thank you all for your support with their learning. We hope you all have a great summer and have a well earned rest. Please keep going with reading, including doing the Totton library reading challenge. For the year 1s going into year 2, there will be a new section called 'Seals, Seahorses and Dolphins 2024-2025'. Information regarding our topic 'Space' in September will be in there.
WELL DONE EVERYONE!

The children all deserve a well earned break ready to tackle the last half term.
