Autumn Term message from Mrs Eaves:
Welcome to Year 1 after the summer holidays! I hope you all had a lovely summer, spending time with your family and friends after working so hard in Reception Class. We are really looking forward to welcoming you in your new class - we will be very busy doing lots of new learning during our first term in Year 1. Our main learning theme will be 'Childhood' with a focus on History learning. We will be learning all about life in the 1950's.
Our focuses in Maths for this term will be Number and Place Value. We will be working on practising counting in 1's to 100, forwards and backwards from any given number. As a school, we now also have access to Numbots, which can be accessed on any device. Your log in for this is in your reading record. I would love it if you could have a go on this at home.
I have put a link to the Year 1 Common Exception Words below. These are words that all children are expected to be able to spell by the end of Year 1. It is important that we practise spelling these words, as they are commonly spelt incorrectly meaning that we may find them a little bit trickier to remember. How many can you already spell?
Our Autumn Term Learning Letter and knowledge organisers are also linked below. These detail everything we are going to be learning about this term. Please take a look so you know exactly what we will be exploring.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask - I am always happy to help! I can't wait to start our year together.

PE in the sunshine
Posted: Feb 16, 2024 by: Lindsay Walton (L.Walton) on: Year 1 Blog
We love to be active and what better way to do PE than out in the sunshine! We have been developing our fundamental movement skills. We can balance, throw, hop, jump, catch, run and skip!
