Year 1

Welcome to Year 1!

Thank you for looking at our class page.

This term our topic is "Into the Woods". I have attached our start of term letter to give you details about what the children shall be learning about.

We have already been on our school trip, and enjoyed our morning in the woods and tractor ride in the afternoon.

In music, we had a teddy bears picnic and have been working hard to learn our harvest song. In art, we have been making clay bowls and woodland ornaments.

Visit again soon to see what we have been getting up to.

Leader in Me

On a daily basis, the children try to demonstrate our core values within school. As we aim to practise them so often, they become good habits that we can use not only in school but also at home too. 

• Habit 1: Be Proactive (You’re in Charge)
• Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind (Have a Plan)
• Habit 3: Put First Things First (Work First, Then Play)
• Habit 4: Think Win-Win (Everyone Can Win)
• Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood(Listen Before You Talk)
• Habit 6: Synergise (Together Is Better)
• Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw (Balance Feels Best)
