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. Miss Edge, an Associate Teacher from the Universtiy of Chester, will also be joining us this year. 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. 

Our autumn term whole school topic is 'We will remember' and our learning in year 1 will be based around remembering the dinosaurs. We will be using several texts as a stimulus for our learning and the children will also be organising a very exciting event! Our autumn term topic web below outlines what we will be learning accross all subjects. KS1 will also be collaborating on a 'mini' project to remember 100 years since World War 1 ended. 

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

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

Thank you,

Miss Cork
