Year 1 2026 - 2027
Mrs Ehlen
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
Mrs Ehlen is the Year 1 class teacher.
Miss Stokes will teach Year 1 on a Friday.
Mrs Cowap is our teaching assistant.
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, continuous provision will remain central to our learning. The children will gradually be eased into more formal learning as the year goes on so that they remain motivated, enthused and eager learners.
Past and Present Bunbury
Our class Autumn Term topic is based around our local area of Bunbury and understanding the past and present, inspired by our text Lost and
Found written by Oliver Jeffers, the story follows a boy and a penguin exploring their local area in an effort to find penguin’s home.
Our Autumn Term 1 web below outlines what we will be learning across all subjects.
Our scheduled PE days are Monday and Thursday.
We ask that you come to school dressed in PE kit on these days each week. You will stay in your kit and do not need to bring your uniform on that day.
Forest School will be taught on a Friday so children can come to school in own clothes and will need suitable clothing for the outdoors including wellies and waterproofs. Please ensure all clothes/items are labelled.
You will find all of the documents you need for completing the homework in the tab at the top of this page.
Reading books must be in school on a Monday and they will be changed on a Wednesday.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask me!

Our Class Charter
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 that these rights are met.
