Welcome to Year 1. A year full of fun and new learning!
At the beginning of this term, we’re going to spend some time getting to know one another. We will learn our daily routines and revisit our school’s Mission Statement and Code of Conduct.
Throughout the Autumn term, we explore topics such as ‘Changes in Living Memory’ in History, where we look at how our toys and transport have changed over time. In Science, we explore the seasons and investigate materials and their properties. In Art, we will explore spirals and in Computing we begin to learn about programming and algorithms.
We learn to read and write through our daily phonics sessions, following the Little Wandle programme and our first English unit uses the well-known book Old Bear by Jane Hissey as our vehicle text. More details about our learning can be found below in our curriculum brochure.
Keep checking our website for any updates and new photos being posted throughout the year.

Little Wandle Phonics Parents' Page
The resources on this page will help you support your child with saying their sounds and writing their letters. There are also some useful videos so you can see how they are taught at school and feel confident about supporting their reading at home.
Collins ebooks
In order to try to maintain the love and teaching of reading at home, we have purchased an online reading scheme, run by the book company Collins.
This will allow teachers to assign books to your child to read online at home. Parents and carers should have received an email with the login details. Click on the image above for the login page.
