Year 1
Welcome to the Year 1 Class Page!
Year 1 learn together in a play based environment that provides the perfect stepping stone from Reception. We have a lovely classroom that is well resourced and offers a safe, exciting and inspiring learning environment. Our classroom is arranged to encourage the children to access resources, working walls and sound mats independently to scaffold and support their own learning. The children learn in a supportive but challenging environment enabling them to work both collaboratively and independently. We encourage Year 1 to learn from their mistakes and develop the skills to persevere even when finding a topic challenging. In Year 1 we encourage the children to use the skills and knowledge acquired from teaching inputs and apply these independently to learning tasks to begin to take responsibility for their own learning.
We love reading and read every chance we get; the classroom reflects this with a variety of books linked to each term’s topic. We are creative thinkers, confident speakers, compassionate friends and imaginative problem solvers!
Please find the attached letters and curriculum map to find out what we are learning about at the moment.

Who knew Year 1 were so smooth(ie)
This week Year 1 made smoothies following on from our DT learning. We discussed healthy eating and cooking safely. The children tried their smoothies on a hot Friday afternoon.
Marvellous Matisse with Year 1
Year 1 and Mrs Cairns have been learning about Matisse. Today we discovered that he drew with scissors and that his pictures were enormous! So we made some giant pictures of our own! (Or did we!!!)
Year 1 – Design and Technology
