“If you can dream it, you can do it!”
We’re excited to welcome you and your child to Year 1! This year, your child’s class teacher is Miss Mitchell, supported by our amazing teaching assistants Mrs Rodgers and Miss Puller. Our class theme for the year is "Inside the Big Top", inspired by the delightful children’s book Claude at the Circus.
In Year 1, we believe that books unlock the imagination therefore throughout the year, we will explore a variety of year 1 recommended reads to support our learning and creativity across the curriculum.
Your child will take part in daily phonics lessons, building on the sounds they already know and learning alternative spellings used in writing. In literacy, we’ll use our class books to support dictated sentence writing, helping children focus on capital letters, full stops, finger spaces and applying their phonics knowledge.
In maths, we will be recognising numbers to 20, adding and subtracting to 10 and within 20, learning number bonds to 6, and exploring the position of numbers on a number line.
