WELCOME TO YEAR 1

Mrs Trafford and Miss Adamson are available to speak with you if you have any questions or concerns at drop - off and pick - up each day.  You can also contact us by Dojo messages.  We will also keep you updated with the children's learning throughout each week on Dojo. 

Danielle Adamson and Sarah Trafford are the class teachers and Amanda Brentnall and Sue Branny are the teaching assistants.  

• PE is on Mondays and Wednedays - Children are to come to school in their PE uniform on PE days - please make sure all earrings are removed in the morning, especially if your child is unable to remove them for themselves. 

• Reading Books - Please bring your reading book to school each day and put it in the classroom boxes.
• Water bottles - We encourage the children to bring in a bottle of water (not juice or flavoured water) and drink regularly throughout the day. 
• Labelled belongings - Please make sure ALL items of clothing, bags, etc are all labelled.  You will be surprised at just how many unlabelled items of clothing go unclaimed each term.
• Shoes - May we kindly request that any children unable to tie their own shoe laces yet are sent to school with shoes that have Velcro straps?

PREVIOUS YEARS' LEARNING

CURRICULUM GUIDELINES

Home Learning - Pick 'n' Mix

Our learning for Term 1 -

English

We were shocked to find 3 porridge bowls (one eaten), 3 chairs (one knocked over) and a bed (slept in) outside of our classrooms.  We used our skill of 'inference' to deduct that these items must have belonged to the three bears and that Goldilocks must have visited. 

When we returned to the classroom, we found a book covered in post-it notes.  As we revealed the different parts of the book, we 'inferred' as we went, using the clues to make a sesnsible guess (prediction) about what the book would be.  We are very excited that our first book this year is Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

MATHS

Our first unit in Year 1 is 'Place Value'.  We have started by sorting objects by size, shape, colour and type.

GEOGRAPHY

Our first project this term is a geography project called, 'Marvellous Maps'.  We are Geographers and have explored lots of different types of maps.  We already know that maps help us find places, show us which direction to travel, help us to explore and may even help us to find treasure!  We would like to know what all of the things on a map mean and how to make a map.  We are hoping to find this out this term.
