Welcome to Year 1!

Miss Enright

Hello and a big warm welcome to Year 1! In our class, we use hands-on and engaging learning opportunities to assist children in their learning journey. Through this transition from Reception into Key Stage 1, we strive to celebrate all achievements and progress, supporting the children as they continue their journey to becoming independent, well-rounded and, most importantly, happy individuals. 

Here you will find the relevant documents to support your child's learning, key information and some pictures of the lovely activities we have been doing together in class. 

Our English focus this term will be 'On My Travels' and we will be using this theme to inspire our writing. Our first book is Petra! The book is about a rock who changes into new things when she goes to different places. We have painted our own Petra rocks, using this to write sentences with prepositions!

In Maths, we have just started learning how to add numbers up to ten. The children have been using part-whole models to identify the different parts of a number sentence. 

Year 1 also enjoyed TT Rockstars Day! The whole school spent the day learning all about times tables, alongside dressing up with blow-up guitars and rockstar hair-dos. In our class, we used chalk to draw numbers up to 10 in the playground and used natural resources, such as sticks and rocks, to form the numbers. I was blown away by how amazing these turned out, Year 1 are definitely Maths Rockstars!
