Hello Year 1

Miss Angliss is your class teacher.

We have Learning Support Assistants -

Miss McDonnell, Miss Kaiser, and Mrs Rodriguez. 

Welcome to our class page which outlines what we will be learning this half term, as well as showing you all the fun we are having in year 1. 

The Virtues and Values for this half term are grateful and generous.

The children are growing to be grateful for the gifts that they have, the gifts of others and being grateful everyday for what we have. They are also learning how they can to be generous with their gifts. 

Year 1's class saint is St. Andrew. He is the patron saint of Scotland. As a class we constantly think about how we can be kind to others and spread God's love the way that he did.

Thank you for all your support.

Miss Angliss

Here is what Year 1 are going to learn in Autumn 1

^{REThis half term we are learning about the story of Creation.}

We will recognise some of the different parts of God's creation. They will be able to sequence the story of creation.  Later on, we will be writing prayers for harvest and learning about the story of St. Francis of Assisi.

During Year 1 we will focus on these prayers.  Please support your child to pray these at home.

Autumn 1 Curriculum Overview

Superheroes

Intergalactic greetings, young heroes. It’s time to rescue the planet from evil villains.

Who’s your favourite superhero? Spiderman? Wonder Woman?

Maybe your heroes are ordinary people who’ve achieved great things. Or is it those people who save lives in our emergency services that you admire most?

Superheroes have super senses. Use yours to identify mystery items by their smell, taste, sound and touch. What do true superheroes eat to keep their senses and special powers sharp?

Science

Year 1 will learn to identify and label the basic parts of the human body and say which part of the body is associated with each sense.

What do true superheroes eat to keep their senses and special powers sharp? We'll explore how to keep our bodies healthy.

Friendly reminders 

* Please ensure your child has a named water bottle every day.

* Please ensure ALL their belongings have been labelled with their names - coats, jumpers/cardigans and ties.
We are encouraging more responsibility and independence this term so this will help your child greatly. 

*Reading book and reading record book to be brought in every day.

*PE will be on Tuesday and Wednesday – please ensure you send your child in their PE kit and trainers as well as their school jumper and coat.

Home reading is vital as it helps your child practise their reading as it develops fluency and expression. Please ensure your child reads at least 3 times a week and record it in their diary. Children who read 3 times a week will receive a gold star on their sticker chart!

Your child's phonic teacher, as well as Miss Angliss will be checking and changing reading books on a weekly basis.
