Class 1 2023-2024

Hello and welcome to Class 1.

This year the year 1 team is Miss Beecher, class teacher who is joined by Mrs Sheppard and Miss Hill.   

PE

This is on a Tuesday afternoon.  Since the warmer weather is upon us, and out learning is Athletics,  I will be taking the children outside for PE(weather permitting).  Could you please make sure they have appropriate footwear for this.

Welcome to Summer Term Year 1!

We had a wonderful Spring term in year 1.  There was so much and learning and growing happening and once more the children have been amazing!  One highlight was that class 1 went on their first ever school trip.  What a wonderful day we had visiting the Tropical Butterfly House- the children loved seeing animals up close, even touching and stroking some too .We now begin our Summer, (final) term with greater expectations or more learning, achievements and all round success and fun!

Children in class 1 are amazing and they are working hard to learn more and become much more independent young people.  I am immensely proud of how they have worked in key stage 1 and of all of their success.

Summer Curriculum

Our maths lessons continue to build skills in place value and addition and subtraction too, considering numbers up to 50 and 100 this half term.  We will also learn multiplication and division, and also fractions too.   In writing, as always  we have some amazing texts to work with such as The Tiger who Came to tea, the classic Little Red Riding Hood and we will also write more non fiction texts this term too.

This term,  our Science learning is about humans and then we move on to plants.  We will study the human body including different parts and the senses too.  We will beginning learning about plants in science too, learning names of common plants and their different parts.  Will will even grow some from seeds too.

In History we are going to be learning about Aviation, this includes investigating different transport, the invention of the wheel and also studying the Wright Brothers and their significance.  PE lessons will focus on athletics skills such as running relays and throwing with accuracy.  In PSHE our learning is based around Being our Best- this includes the importance of eating well, being hygienic and understanding our behaviour too.  This will link in really nicely with our science lessons too. 

Our computing lessons will involve us looking at different data and how we can group this. In art we will study and create work using different media, considering mood and colour too, we will look at different work portraying daily life and recreate work based on this . Our  RE lessons are based around being part of a faith community and what that means for different religions.

So as you can see we have another super busy and full term ahead!
