Our Classes

Year 1

Welcome to Badger Class

Year 1 is the beginning of the children's journey into Key Stage One, so it's a very important year! We do lots of hands-on learning through our ambitious and creative curriculum. We inspire every child to develop a love for learning through supporting them to achieve their best.

Our Curriculum

In Year 1, we support children in their progression from Reception and to a more structured style of learning, whilst still offering a curriculum which the children can enjoy, be creative and access the wonderful outdoors.

This year’s exciting topics are:

Autumn 1 - Me and My Senses

Autumn 2 - Polar Explorers

Spring 1 - Superheroes

Spring 2 - Aliens

Summer 1 - Growing

Summer 2 - Sun, Sea, Sand and Wonderful Weather

P.E is on a Monday and Tuesday afternoon. Please can you ensure that children have kit for both indoor (shorts, t-shirts and pumps) and outdoor PE (Warm tracksuit) as we do as much P.E as we can outside (weather permitting).

Homework / Helping at home

Homework will reinforce what has been happening throughout the week and we would encourage your child to always try their best.

Spellings will be uploaded to Class Dojo every Monday. These will be taught, practised and reinforced throughout the week. The learning of spellings will be assessed the following Monday.

A Maths task will also be uploaded to Class Dojo every Monday.

We will provide a reading book which is the appropriate level for your child and would encourage your child to read daily at home.
