Welcome To Year One!

Teachers - Miss Buck and Mrs Buckle

Teaching Assistants- Miss Crawford, Mrs Laundon, Miss Curtis and Mrs Palmer

Our theme for Autumn 1 term is Bob the Builder!

Week 1-2

We have been focussing on transitioning back to school, getting to know our new teachers and classrooms. Our teachers are finding out what phonics and maths we can remember. We are doing this alongside our busy learning activities which include designing and making things out of lego, blocks and junk materials, writing cards to our friends, investigating different materials and drawing self-portraits. We have also begun our Forest School sessions with Mrs Palmer in 'The Woodlands'! 

Week 3

This week our theme is ‘The Three Little Pigs’. We are beginning our phonics sessions, writing about The Three Little Pigs and practicing our counting and sorting skills in maths. Some of our busy learning activities this week include painting in the style of Paul Klee, building houses, making puppets and role playing an architects office and a construction site. 

Week 4

We are continuing with our theme of 'The Three Little Pigs' this week. In English we are working on recalling the story. In maths we are practicing our number skills by learning to represent numbers in different ways. In busy learning we are continuing our printing pictures based on Paul Klee's- Castle and Sun, making story maps, making a three little pigs puppet show, building houses and acting out the three little pigs.
