Welcome to Godfrey 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 and please share your learning with us on Class Dojo- we would love to see it!

2025-2026 AUTUMN TERM

Welcome to Godfrey Class!

During Spring 1 term, children will be enjoying an exciting and varied curriculum packed with creativity, discussion and hands-on learning.

In Maths, pupils will build confidence with place value, addition and subtraction, and explore shapes and directions through geometry.

In English, children will take part in lively discussions in non-fiction lessons as they debate Should Jack Bean be Jailed?They will also enjoy writing imaginative stories about losing and finding, inspired by the book Lost and Found.

Our Geography learning takes us around the United Kingdom, where pupils will discover the four countries – England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. In Science, children will explore seasons and weather, learning how weather is recorded, understanding symbols and forecasts, comparing weather around the world, and discovering extreme weather such as floods and hurricanes.

Through RE, pupils will learn about Christianity and explore the good news Jesus brings, including the story of Matthew the Tax Collector. PSHE lessons will focus on anti-bullying and personal safety, helping children understand kindness, feelings, staying safe and knowing who to talk to if they are worried.

In Art, children will become young architects as they explore famous buildings and develop skills in drawing, collage, clay modelling and design. PE sessions will focus on gymnastics, building strength and coordination through fun activities such as jumping. In Computing, pupils will begin their programming journey by exploring algorithms without using computers, and in Music, they will explore animals in music, learning about pitch, instruments and how sounds can tell a story.
