Welcome to the 2025/2026 Year 1 Class page!
Welcome back, we hope you have had a great Easter break and are looking forward to a fantastic new term of learning. Our new Summer 1 term topic is 'Enchanted Woodland'. This Geography / Science project develops children's knowledge about plants, woodlands and maps of the local area. We will be sharing lots of stories, starting with 'The Gruffalo' and will write our own beat the monster tale.
All of our learning is linked to books suitable for pupils' age and stage and to encourage reading for pleasure. We concentrate on a book each week; this term we are reading 'Stick Man', The Oak Tree' and 'Tidy'. We will also be focusing on the traditional tales 'Little Red Riding Hood' and 'Hansel and Gretal'.
In PE this term, we will be concentrating on striking and field games, which will continue on a Tuesday afternoon; please make sure your child comes to school with a P.E. kit, which will remain at school until the end of the half-term.
We will also be swimming on Friday mornings. Please make sure your child has their swimming kit with them on this day, which is to include a full swimming costume (no bikinis) or swim shorts (above the knee) together with a towel and swimming cap.
Please continue to listen to your child read their phonic book daily (which is levelled at their current phonics stage) and share their reading for pleasure book. Please also sign the reading record. Children reading red and yellow phonic books will have a bookmark (kept in school) and will take part in the reading reward scheme where daily readers can earn a Bronze, Silver and Gold reading reward badge.
Please find attached at the bottom of the page our learning overview for this half-term together with the curriculum overview for the year.
