WELCOME TO YEAR 1

Welcome to year 1, we are very excited to see all the amazing progress each child will make this year. Your year 1 teachers this year are, Miss Read (Rosen Class), Miss Judge and Mrs Piper (Butterworth Class).

We are thrilled to welcome you and your child to an exciting year of learning, discovery, and adventure. This term, our writing and reading will be inspired by The Snail and the Whale and other fantastic books, as we explore the wonders of stories, the sea, and the world around us. In maths, we’ll be building strong number skills by counting to 100 and practising our twos, fives, and tens. Our geography topic asks, What makes the UK a great place to live? while in science we’ll be learning all about the human body and how it works. Music will get us moving as we discover how pulse and rhythm work together in “Hey You!”, and in PSHE we’ll be thinking carefully about our rights and responsibilities. In RE we’ll learn about belonging to a church, in ICT we’ll explore the technology all around us, and in DT we’ll design with sliders and levers to make our creations move! Year 1 is a time of curiosity, creativity, and growing independence, and we can’t wait to share this journey with you.

P.E. Learning

Our focus this term will be on team building and developing fundamental multi-skills. Please note that P.E. takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and it is very important that children come to school dressed in the correct P.E. kit on these days so they can take part fully and safely. 

Home learning

Home reading books should be brought to school daily. Please listen to your child read every day.

Please email your child's teacher if you have any questions, queries or concerns.

Class Teachers can also be reached via Class Dojo.
