Class 1
(Year 1)
A very warm welcome to Class 1 – a year of exploring, investigating and fun!
Class 1 marks the start of your child’s journey into Key Stage 1. A time where they become readers, writers, mathematicians - and future leaders! We aim to make the transition from Reception as smooth as possible and will continue to make as much of the learning hands-on and explorative as possible. We use drama and group work to develop their speaking and listening through all the subjects we teach. Our curriculum will build upon their Reception experiences and includes daily Maths and English sessions as well as regular small group phonics lessons. We get out and about as often as possible with lots of outdoor learning, trips, sports festivals and Forest School adventures!
Here is just a flavour of some of the brilliant things we will learn. We look back in time in History, learning about home life through the years as well as celebrating two amazing women in Grace Darling and Beatrix Potter (a firm favourite with the children). In Science we explore magnets, seasons, plants and animals to better understand and question the world around us. We get creative and study a range of different artists through our drawing, sculpting and painting topics. We get to plan, create and build in DT with incredible windmills, smoothies and puppets to show for our efforts.
We strive to create an environment that is inspiring and sparks the children’s curiosity for learning. It is a classroom where everyone feels comfortable and happy to ‘have a go’. We cannot wait for you to watch your child grow in confidence, independence and knowledge this year!
