This week in Year 1 we have been very busy.

We all took part in Christmas jumper day and had Christmas dinner with everyone! We have also been to the pantomime to watch Sleeping Beauty, which was very fun! On Monday we had a visitor in forest school who told us Christmas stories while we drank some hot chocolate. Also, over the past few weeks we have been practicing our Nativity play and we have performed it front of our families. We did some great singing and dancing.
