Miss Edwards is the Year 1 teacher and works with a fantastic Key Stage team to deliver an engaging and exciting curriculum.
We are learning some wonderful things this year, but we especially love our Topic sessions in class where we will get to enjoy learning about:
- Living things, their habitats, everyday materials and plants,
- Where our school is in the big wide world,
- The Gunpowder Plot and Bonfire Night,
- Places that are really hot and really cold.
- Abstract Art and local artists,
- Seasonal Weather Patterns,
- Finding out about the past- Dinosaurs!
It is a big transition for Year 1 from Reception with the Early Years Framework. In Year 1, the children are introduced to a formal learning structure, developing prior knowledge whilst still enhancing their creativity. We promote a welcoming and inclusive environment for children to become confident learners, respecting one another.
In Year 1 we are given the opportunity to become more independent, we look after each other and care for each other in our classroom and on the playground. We understand the importance of caring for the world around us, including all of God’s creatures.
We enjoy regularly sharing our exciting learning journey with our families through Seesaw where parents and family members can keep up to date with us.
