Welcome to Year 1 Class Page!

Our ethos within Year 1 is to promote a love of independent learning. The indoor and outdoor environments are carefully planned and richly resourced to allow for curriculum coverage to be achieved through a provision based approach and purposeful experiences. We aim to build upon the characteristics of effective learning which underpin the EYFS and provide our children with opportunities to be critical thinkers and problem solvers. Supporting adults have a deep understanding of how to ensure children's experiences are developmentally appropriate and ensure learning is advanced by the use of careful interactions and open ended questioning. 

Please see the curriculum overview attached for more details of what we will learning throughout this term.

Our homework grid for this term is also attached. We encourage you to work through the activities at your own pace.

2024-2025 SUMMER

Welcome to Godfrey Class!

This summer term, our pupils will embark on a rich and diverse learning journey across all areas of the curriculum. In English, children will explore a variety of genres, including fantasy tales, explanation texts, non-chronological reports, and journey stories inspired by classic tales such as Jack and the Beanstalk and The Enormous Turnip. In Maths, they’ll build on their knowledge of place value, develop their understanding of the four operations, explore fractions and geometry, and gain confidence with money and time. Our History lessons will take us through significant moments in British political history, from Simon de Montfort to the role of the modern Prime Minister, while in Geography, pupils will learn about the seven continents and their unique features. Science will focus on animals, plants, and life processes, encouraging enquiry and observation. In Art and D&T, children will study famous artists, explore sculpture and create their own puppets and moving vehicles. PSHE will support children in managing change and learning about personal safety, hygiene, and well-being. Physical Education will include games to develop agility and coordination, alongside Forest School activities that promote resilience and teamwork.

We can't wait for a fun term ahead!
