Year 1

Hello from the Year 1 Team. The class teachers are Miss Barrett and Miss Nelson. We follow the National Curriculum and promote a love of learning and provide exciting opportunities for hands on learning.  We love to learn and have created a happy, relaxed and stimulating environment both inside and outside the classroom.

In Year 1 we love to read and it makes up a large part of our day. We love hearing about what the children are reading at home and enjoy sharing recommendations from our friends. Please ensure reading books and diaries are brought into school everyday as we often spend time reading them in school.  Reading books will be changed every FRIDAY so please ensure that both decodable and phonic books are brought into school on a Friday to be changed. 

We cover a wide range of topics in Year 1 including; ‘Where do we live and play?’, ‘Schools in the past’ and ‘Where does our food come from?’.

Home learning will be given out to children each Friday, please ensure children return their home learning on Thursday. The children have their own home learning folder they should complete any written tasks. They will also be given weekly spellings which the children will learn in school as well as practice at home. 

In Year 1 children will participate in PE twice a week. Please ensure that children are sent to school in their PE kit on the correct days:

Y1B – Thursday and Friday

Y1N- Monday and Thursday

If you have any questions or would like any clarification, please speak to a member of the Year 1 team.
