Park equipment and how it moves.

The children enjoyed their trip and noticed early signs of Autumn. They took turns on all the park equipment and discussed the materials used to make them. With their group leaders the children chatted about the different road markings and what they were there for.
A big thank you to all the parents who came with us, we really appreciate your help.

Year 1: We Went on a Bear Hunt

On Friday 2nd October Year 1 went on a bear hunt. Armed with a map of the school the children looked for clues as they went on their quest to find a bear. They trampled through swishy swashy grass, located deep water (at the swimming pool) and found other clues. They heard the roar of a bear in the infant playground and finally arrived in the hall to be met by a circle of bears who shared their fruit and 'Pom Bears' with them.

The children can now mark off 'Going on a Bear Hunt' on their passports.

Welcome to the Key Stage 1 Blog

We take school-home communication very seriously at Hacton Primary. Parents should feel confident that their children are getting the very best education in our friendly, nurturing environment. Children's successes should be celebrated so that they feel proud of their work and motivated to improve. Magical moments happen every day at our school and we hope that this blog helps to capture some of them.
