• Homework Summer 1

At the heart of everything is a personalised approach to each unique individual as part of our Christian Community. The strong family ethos ensures that all children and staff feel valued, respected and grow in self-confidence. Enthusiastic and caring staff with high expectations, demonstrate care of the whole child. Through God’s guidance we encourage each and every child to 'let their light shine.'

Welcome to Year 1

Miss Cork is the Year 1 class teacher and we are very lucky to have Miss Moss supporting us every day. Miss Stokes, an associate teacher from the University of Chester, is back with us for the summer term. 

Our aim is to ensure that the children experience a smooth transition from the Foundation Stage to Key Stage One. The Year 1 curriculum builds upon and extends the experiences that children have had in Reception. Learning through play will continue to be an important part of the school day, and the children will gradually be eased into more formal learning as the year goes on so that they remain motivated, enthused and eager learners.

As a rights respecting school, one of the first activities completed in September is our class charter. The children choose a number of articles which they feel must be met at school. It is then discussed how the adults (duty bearers) and the pupils (rights holders) in school ensure these rights are met.

Our topic this term is 'Where would you travel to?' which we will explore in a variety of ways across the curriculum. Our class text for Summer 1 is ‘Toys in Space’ by Mini Grey and our class text for Spring 2 is ‘Goldilocks and Just the One Bear’ by Leigh Hodgkinson.

Reading books must be in school on a Monday and they will be changed on a Wednesday.

PE is on Wednesday and Thursday.
