Year 1 2024 - 2025
Mrs Priestman
Welcome to Year 1!
Year 1 is a place where curiosity, creativity and excitement for all learning shines brightly! Every day is an adventure as we explore new topics, ask big questions and develop a love for learning.
Our class is a caring and supportive environment, where we follow our school and Christian values—showing love, respect and determination in all that we do.
Our learning journey takes us through fascinating topics. In history, we step back in time to discover how childhood and family life have changed since the 1950s. We also learn about our own school and local area, comparing how schooling today is different from the Victorian era.
In science, we become investigators, exploring the materials that make up the world around us and why they are used for different purposes. We learn about the human body, naming our body parts, discovering our senses, and understanding how they help to keep us safe. We also explore the changing seasons and the exciting world of plants, watching how they grow and change over time.
Maths is full of exciting challenges! We build our confidence with place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, time and measurement - learning through hands-on activities and problem-solving.
In English, we develop our phonics skills and grow into fantastic readers and writers.
Every day in Year 1 is an opportunity to explore, imagine and achieve. We can't wait to show you all that we achieve throughout our exciting learning journey.
