Welcome to Year 1!

"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are hidden in the most unlikely places." - Roald Dahl

Miss Cork is the Year 1 teacher. The wonderful Miss Porter is the teaching assistant working alongside Miss Cork. Mr Hall, an Associate Teacher from Liverpool Hope University, will also be joining us this term. Whilst we are looking forward to having fun with our class we also have high expectations of you and want you to do your very best at all times. 

Our aim is to ensure that the children experience a smooth transition from the Foundation Stage to Key Stage One. The Year 1 curriculum builds upon and extends the experiences that children have had in Reception. Learning through play will continue to be an important part of the school day, and the children will gradually be eased into more formal learning as the year goes on so that they remain motivated, enthused and eager learners. 

The summer term will see Bunbury plunging into another whole school project - "Where would we be without water?" 

Scroll down to download the topic web showing an overview of learning. This half term the children will also be asked to complete one takeaway homework task linked to our topic (a paper copy will be sent home but you can also download it below). This is a project to be completed at home which the children bring into school on Wednesday 23rd May. Their fantastic projects are celebrated and shared with the rest of the school. I love seeing their hard work and displaying it in our classroom.

Please continue to bring boxes, tubes, bottles, yoghurt pots etc into school. 

Children will have PE on Wednesday and Thursday. Please ensure your child has their kit in school on these days.

Thank you,

Miss Cork
