Class 1

Welcome to Class 1:

In Class 1, there are three year groups; Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. Miss Foylan is the teacher in Class 1. Miss Asher is the class teaching partner and Miss Muirhead also supports the class in the afternoon.

At times, all 3 year groups learn together and sometimes children receive adult-inputs for their year group, while other children are working independently to apply their learning to tasks.

Little Wandle phonics lessons are taught on a daily basis. English and Maths lessons also take place every day (during the mornings). In English, we use the Write Stuff planning. In Maths, we use the White Rose planning and resources. Every day the children also spend time developing their arithmetic skills and we use 'Rainbow Maths' to develop this skill. In addition to this, we have 3 group reading sessions for each child every week. We use Big Cat phonics reading books for these sessions and these books then go home, alongside an individual reading book, to help build further confidence/fluency.

Afternoons centre on cross-curricular subjects with each term having a key topic question to explore.

Class 1 have P.E every Tuesday and Friday afternoon and these sessions are delivered by a specialist sports coach.

We visit the school library every week and we enjoy sharing books together during this time. We also take 2 books home a week and these books are then shared with our families at home.

In Class 1, we have a rolling programme that teachers plan from (please see the document to find out more about this).

Please read the parent leaflet for more information on our current topics and you will also find some ideas on how to support your child at home.

We set Maths/English homework every Wednesday which is then due in on a Monday. A set of spellings are also sent home on a Wednesday, the children will then be tested on the spellings on the following Monday.

Class teachers update the Class Dojo on a regular basis. Any information about homework or class updates will be posted here. Pictures of Class 1 learning are also posted throughout the week.
