With Jesus in our Hearts, we have:
The passion to learn,
The courage to fail,
The strength to love
Our Class teachers are Mrs Gregson from Monday to Friday while Mrs Grier is on maternity leave and our Learning Support Assistants are Miss Ryan and Mrs Gould.
This term we will explore a range of traditional tales, rhymes and poems as well as texts Where’s my Teddy? Traction Man and Claude in the City during our English lessons. We will learn about toys, the local area and many more exciting things throughout our Year 1 learning journey.
Class reading time is a very important part of our day. We will read an exciting selection of books together of the course of the year.
Please ensure zippy wallets come into school with the children every day.

Things that help us learn
We have established the use of Google Classroom as our online learning platform in Key Stage 1.
We follow Little Wandle as our phonics programme. A reading book (Big Cat for Little Wandle) is sent home on a weekly basis which will be pitched at your child’s current phonic ability and at a level they can decode and comprehend at a 95% accuracy.
They will also take home a reading for pleasure book, which they will select from the school library.
Weekly spellings are sent home to consolidate the phonetic sounds the children have been learning that week.

Take a look at our curriculum webs to view what the children will be learning throughout the year.
Trips
This year we will be organising some exciting school based enhancement activities. Our first trip of the year will be to the Milestones museum on Tuesday 26th September.
