Welcome to Year 1
Mrs Jenkins and Mrs Talkington, supported by our fantastic Key Stage 1 team, provide an engaging and exciting curriculum that inspires children to love learning.
This year, we will explore a wide range of fascinating topics, including living things and their habitats, everyday materials, plants, seasonal weather patterns, the Great Fire of London, castles and explorers, hot and cold places around the world, abstract art, local artists, geography, and music.
Year 1 is an important step from the Early Years Foundation Stage into a more structured learning environment. We carefully support this transition by developing children's skills and knowledge while continuing to nurture their creativity, imagination and curiosity through our C.O.O.L. (Choosing Our Own Learning) areas. These opportunities encourage children to explore their interests, ask questions, solve problems and become increasingly independent learners.
We are proud to offer a welcoming and inclusive environment where children grow into confident, independent learners who respect and care for one another. We encourage children to look after each other, both in the classroom and on the playground, and to understand the importance of caring for the world around them and all of God's creatures.
We love sharing our learning journey with families through Seesaw, allowing parents and carers to celebrate our achievements and keep up to date with classroom life.
