~ Welcome to Class 1 ~

A great big 'Hello' to our returning Year 1 children and also to:

Adam, Albie, Elara, Imogen, James, Kiera, Michael, Mick, Phoenix, Tom and Zach, our new Reception children. 

It has been lovely to welcome you to our school and we are very proud at how quickly and enthusiastically you have settled in to Class 1. 

We look forward to sharing a wonderful learning journey with you.

Autumn Term 2021 

Welcome to Class 1 which comprises 12 Reception children and 7 Year 1 children. 

Mrs Peile is class teacher and she is fortunate to be supported by the following fantastic Teaching Assistants who help to provide a nurturing, responsive environment for our pupils:

Ms Evans, Mrs Richardson and Mrs Edge.

Should you require any further details regarding any aspect of your child's education, then please feel free to contact us for a chat with one of our team - we are always happy to help. 

Summer Term 2021 

We have had a very busy start to this half term and are currently enjoying learning all about our topic of 'Dinosaurs'.  We have considered when they roamed the Earth, researched various species and thought about the similarities and differences between these.  This research has been turned into fantastic reports which include super features such as sub-headings, illustrations, labels and fabulous, fascinating facts.   We enjoyed typing them up using our laptops and learnt skills such as how to choose fonts, alter text sizing, change colour and underline. 

In PE we continue to particpate in team games and have also begun to learn to play cricket.  Each Friday, if the weather is dry, we try to use the climbing equipment across on the school field to improve our physical health.  However, if the weather is unkind, we stay indoors and particpate in mindfulness, yoga or Dinosaur Dance.

For History, we have started to learn all about the famous female paleontologist Mary Anning from Dorset whose scientific work is celebrated world wide.  She made many important discoveries along the Jurassic coastline, including the first plesiosaur and many other ichthyosaur skeletons. 

For Art and DT we are working on designing and producing moving pictures (- of dinosaurs ....!) that will involve us learning how to create hinges and levers.

Year 1 children are currrently working on Phase 5 phonemes.

Reception children are currently learning their Phase 3 phonemes.

Lockdown Remote Learning 

Happy New Year to you!  

We are so disappointed to have to start this year in lockdown and very much look forward to welcoming all children back to school as soon as possible.  In the meantime, please find included below, weekly learning for both Reception and Year 1 children.  

This planning will be updated each week.  Paper learning packs (which include the same resources) will be prepared for those families that require them.  These will be made available for collection from school each MONDAY.
