Hello Year One!
The teachers have really enjoyed speaking to so many of you on the phone over the last couple of weeks and finding out about all the things you have been up to. It has been so lovely to see the fantastic work you have been doing so keep sending your photos and updates to our year group page yr1@pegasusacademytrust.org. Don’t forget we need the name of the child, class and school!
Here are some excellent examples of home learning that has been sent to us:
