Welcome to Year 1
Who are we?
Welcome to Year 1 – The First Class of Key Stage 1!
We are 5- and 6-year-olds who are beginning an exciting new stage of our learning journey. Building on the strong foundations from the Early Years, we focus on developing greater independence, confidence, and a love for learning.
Our curriculum is based on the National Curriculum (2014), and we deliver it through a mix of practical, creative, and written activities. Each half term, we explore a new topic that brings learning to life and links subjects together in meaningful ways.
We make full use of our outdoor learning spaces to support and enhance our learning experiences, helping children connect with the world around them in fun and engaging ways.
Who Teaches Us?
Mrs Lawrence is our teacher.
Mrs Maule teaches the class on a monday afternoon.
Mrs Pietruszka is our the teaching assistant in the morning.
Mrs Richardson is our teaching assistant in the afternoon.
Miss Abrahams, Mrs Cademy, Mrs Scoulas, and Mrs Sanders provide additional support.
Homework and Reading
Each Friday, children will receive new reading books, a spelling list, and a homework task to complete. These should be returned to school by the following Tuesday.
Spellings will be tested in school, and children will have regular opportunities to read with an adult throughout the week. Homework tasks are designed to reinforce and support the learning taking place in class.
If you have any questions about the homework, please don’t hesitate to speak to a member of the Year 1 team — we’re always happy to help.
P.E.
On our P.E. days, children should come to school dressed in their P.E. kit. This
should include a white t-shirt, navy shorts or joggers, and trainers.
