Welcome to Year One

We are delighted to welcome both you and your children to an exciting new year in Year One. This term, we will go on a  story adventure with the book "The Gruffalo" by Julia Donaldson. We will listen to fun stories, orally story tell The Gruffalo and do exciting activities. This will help the children get better at reading, encourage them to use their imaginations, and hopefully love books even more. "The Gruffalo" is all about friendship, being brave, and being creative, all important life skills.

Below you can see the theme web which will give you an overview of the learning which the children will undertake over the next few weeks.

The children have made a great start with their learning. In maths we have been looking at place value. The children have been matching numerals to objects as well as number names. They have carried on with this learning during any non directed time. The pictures below show some of the children enjoying their maths.

In English we have been working hard on our phonics and our handwriting. We have written sentences about what creatures we have seen in the books and labelled the parts of the Gruffalo.

We have have been investigating the weather and have started a weather diary. This links to our science work when we have been talking about the seasons. We went for a walk around the school grounds to look at the trees and discover which ones have started changing colour as we enter autumn.

In PSHE we have been thinking about what we would like our learning environment to be like and how we can work together to achieve this, such as listening to our friends when they are talking and looking after all the equipment. We have been thinking about what qualities a good friend has
