This week in English, the children have been enjoying the story I Love You, Blue Kangaroo, which tells the tale of a little girl and her beloved toy. To help bring the story to life, the children were invited to bring in one of their favourite toys from home.

It was wonderful to see how proudly and confidently they spoke about their toys, sharing what makes them special. The children listened carefully to each other and answered questions thoughtfully, showing great speaking and listening skills.

This activity really helped the children connect with the characters in the story and inspired some lovely discussions and writing. Well done, Year 1 – what a fantastic week of learning!
