Yesterday the children looked at some of the writing they had done in the very first week of Year 1. They compared it to the most recent piece of writing they had done in their English books and were amazed by how much progress they had made! 📝

Finished for the holidays but so many members of staff and their children are in prepping for September! #dedicated #committed #organised Allenton Primary AllentonEnrichment

A snapshot of some of the children’s fantastic work today! We read the story Bloom, all about a Jellyfish. The children drew pictures of the main characters and wrote a sentence thinking about how the character was feeling. Allenton English!
