Year 1

Welcome to Year 1

Class teachers for Year 1 are Miss Penny and Miss Bradbury (1P) and Miss McAleenan (1M)

We also have Miss Wong and Mrs Rawes as our Teaching Assistants.

Topics we explore throughout Year 1 are ‘Our Local Area', ‘Families’ and ‘Seasons’.

We also explore topics such as: Animals including Humans, The Great Fire of London, Chinese New Year and Healthy eating making a fruit salad.

We have lots of lessons each week, including: English, Phonics, Maths, Religious Education, Science, Topic (which includes History, Geography, and Art & DT), PSHE/RSE, PE and Computing On a Tuesday morning we have specialised teachers delivering PE and music.

Throughout the year we rotate our areas of learning in our classrooms, focusing on: Role-play, Maths, Writing, Reading, Creativity, Malleable, Construction, Computers and Small World.

Reading is a big part of school life in Year 1, and we love to read with our teachers and teaching assistants. Phonics is a big focus in Year 1 and every day children receive a discreet phonics lesson. We follow the Read Write Inc programme. To finish our day we often enjoy a story together as a class. We take a reading book home every week to read with our families as well as a variety of books from our school library.
