Year 1 - Seacole Class
Welcome to Seacole Class
Our Teachers are Mrs Grier (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) and Mrs Gregson (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday). Seacole’s Learning Support Assistant is Miss Ryan. From February half term, Mrs Grier will start her maternity leave. Mrs Gregson will be in class five days a week.
We have a fun packed curriculum for the Spring Term. We will start with a History unit all about a significant historical local - Samuel Cody. In Geography, we will be learning about Cove Brook River. We will meet some dedicated volunteers who are experts about the river.
Class reading time is a very important part of our day. This term we will explore stories and poems from Michael Rosen.
Take a look at our spring curriculum web to see our full curriculum coverage in all subject areas.

Our outdoor Games lessons are every Wednesday afternoon. Children must come to school dressed in their kits.
We follow God Matters in Religious Education (the Portsmouth Diocese scheme of learning). The children learn two hours and 15 minutes of RE per week in KS1 and are involved in Liturgical Prayer.
Things that help us learn
We have established the use of Google Classroom as our online learning platform in Key Stage 1. We also use a Mathletics, which will be used as weekly homework. 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.
If you have any questions or there is anything urgent that you think I need to know, please contact the School Office either by phone at 01252 548123 or by email at adminoffice@st-bernadettes.hants.sch.uk
