Year 1
Welcome to Class 1H
It’s great to see you all back after the summer holidays. This is a thrilling time, starting a new class with new, exciting things to learn and do. We can’t wait to teach you and help you learn and grow.
English
You will read a story by our class author Oliver Jeffers: There once was a boy and one day a penguin arrives on his doorstep. The boy decides the penguin must be lost and tries to return him. But no one seems to be missing a penguin. So the boy decides to take the penguin home himself, and they set out in his row boat on a journey to the South Pole. But when they get there, the boy discovers that maybe home wasn’t what the penguin was looking for after all.
