Year 1

Welcome to Year 1! 

We are so lucky to have a brilliant Year 1 team – Class 1R and Class 1V

In 1R we have Mrs Robertson (Class Teacher), Miss Lindley and Miss Hodgson.

In 1V we have Mrs Vedia (Class Teacher), Miss Lee and Mrs Bosworth.

Key Information

Our PE lessons are on a Monday (indoor PE) and Thursday (outdoor PE). Please remember to come wearing PE kit on those days.

Autumn 1

This term we are focusing on settling the children back into school. We will make sure to have plenty of free time to explore the classrooms as well as enjoying outdoor break times and lunchtimes. We are focusing on our three school values: kindness, curiosity and courage.

In maths we are looking at numbers 1-10 and 10-20. We are going to develop our number sense by practicing to count both forwards and backwards. In phonics we are meeting our new groups and teachers and learning all the sounds we need to read simple words and stories. We will learn all about the United Kingdom in Geography and our human bodies in science. In PSHE we are looking at how people celebrate different events and in RE we are learning about how we care for others.

It is going to be a wonderful term to settle back into our school routine.

Autumn 2

We hope everyone is refreshed after a lovely half term holiday! This term we will continue learning our phonics every day during classes and interventions. We are already seeing the positive impacts our phonics work on our reading and writing. Everyone is learning how to write simple sentences using full stops, finger spaces and capital letters!

In maths we will start learning subtraction which will require us to count backwards, therefore we will try to do lots of counting in school and at home! We love counting games! We will even start learning about numbers 11 to 20.

In Geography we will continue to learn about the United Kingdom and do some role play about visiting some exciting capital cities such as London, Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff. In science we will continue exploring the human body and senses and will even begin to look at the seasons and how they change over time. Especially as we go from Autumn to winter. In Art, we will be learning all about print making. We will practice it using different colours, lines and forms.

Lastly in RE will look at messages from God and in PSHE we will focus on being me. PE will be pilates on Monday’s for our indoor sessions and we will have our outdoor PE lessons with Mr Young as usual.

Spring 1
We hope everyone is feeling refreshed after the holidays and ready to take on a new year! Happy 2025!

This term we will be continuing to work hard in our phonics to learn more sounds to help us to read and write. All of the students have made amazing progress so far and they continue to work hard every day. Their writing has really seen the benefit of these phonics sessions. This term we will learn the story of the magic porridge pot! We will put the story to actions and write a 5 sentence story focusing on the use of adjectives.

In maths we will be moving on to study numbers 1-20 and will practice adding and subtracting them using the skills we learnt over the autumn terms. And in science we will look at animals, caring for the planet and seasonal changes in spring. In RE we will be looking at the religion of Islam.

We will be starting history this term and will be looking at toys and how they have changed over time. We will be arranging a time and date for the students to bring in some of their toys and some of their grown up’s toys! In PE we will be looking at gymnastics and in Design and Technology we will be making some yummy oaty biscuits.

It is going to be a wonderful term and we look forward to learning lots and having lots of fun!
