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.

Welcome to Godfrey Class!

This term promises to be an exciting journey of learning and discovery!

In Maths, we’ll dive into understanding place value, mastering addition and subtraction, and exploring time and money—skills that will turn everyday moments into fun learning opportunities.

 In English, your child will unlock the magic of storytelling with the heartwarming tale of "Dogger," before getting hands-on with writing instructions for their own creative “silly sandwiches.”

Geography will take us on an adventure through maps and compass points, helping students see the world from new perspectives. In Science, we’ll embark on a fascinating exploration of the human body and the incredible senses we use every day.

In RE, we’ll ponder big questions about Creation, and in PSHE, we’ll focus on building friendships and making everyone feel welcome. Art will be a colorful exploration of famous artists, brushstrokes, and the magic of color mixing, while PE will have us practicing our throwing, catching, and teamwork skills. We’ll also get creative in the kitchen during D&T, learning about

nutrition and cooking delicious dishes inspired by Greek culture.

 Finally, Music will have us moving and grooving as we compose rhythmic samba pieces and layer rhythms to create our own musical masterpieces​

For more information, please see our curriculum overview.

We can't wait for a fun term ahead!
