Year One Class Page

A very warm welcome to our Year 1 children, parents and families! Year 1 is a very important year for your child as it is the beginning of their KS1 journey. We share lots of exciting learning journies together and develop children's exploration of new information and understanding. 

This year, the Year One children will sit their phonics screening check in June, please support your child's phonics knowledge by listening to them read their book-bag books regularly at home and sharing the phonics video that is uploaded to Dojo each week.

Please check Class Dojo for regular updates on what your child is learning and the exciting activities we get up to!

Beside the Sea

This term we are GEOGRAPHERS, our topic is called Beside the Sea. We will explore what a seaside is and where some popular seaside resorts are in the United Kingdom. We will look at the difference between human and physical features and see what we can find when we go on our own trip to the seaside!

We will also look at what it means to be safe by the sea and how we can encourage others to always be safe at the seaside.
