Welcome to Year 1. A year full of fun and new learning.
At the beginning of the term, we’re going to spend some time getting to know one another. We will learn our daily routines and re-visit 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 homes and toys have changed over time. In Science, we explore the seasons and then later we learn about ‘Animals Including Humans’. In Art, we will explore spirals and in Design and Technology we will have fun making our own shelters for Julia Donaldson’s scarecrows ‘Harry and Betty’ from the text, ‘The Scarecrow’s Wedding’.
We will learn to read and write through our daily phonics sessions and English lessons, where we will write brilliant sentences for story writing, poems and instructions. We will learn about number every day in maths lessons, learning to calculate and learn number facts.
Keep checking our website for any updates throughout the year.
Here is an update on the reading opportunities for Year 1 children at Great Crosby. Page 1 and 4 are shown first, click Next/Previous below to change the pages.

An update for parents and carers about Little Wandle Letters and Sounds, our phonics scheme, and how you can help your child prepare for the Year 1 Phonics assessment. The videos below are mentioned in the Phonics meeting video. Find out more by clicking on the parents' page image below.
Year 1’s trip to Formby Beach supported the children’s learning in their Geography topics – ‘Our local area’ and ‘The UK and surrounding waters’.
The day included art using the nature around us, a wildlife scavenger hunt, following trails using a compass, a walk around our local coastline and a sandcastle competition!
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.
Sing along and learn all about numbers with the Numberblocks! Watch episodes on the CBeebies website and BBC iPlayer.
