Welcome to the 2025/2026 Year 1 Class page!

We hope you have had a lovely summer break and are looking forward to a fantastic new term of learning. Our topic for the first Autumn term is 'Dinosaur Planet'. This History and Geography project develops children's knowledge about dinosaurs, fossils and the British palaeontologist Mary Anning. We will also start learning about the 7 continents and 5 oceans of the world.  

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 'Where the wild things are', 'The girl and the dinosaur', 'Gigantosaurus', 'Bumpus Rumpus' and 'There is a dinosaur in my school'. We will also be focusing on the traditional tales 'Cinderella' and 'The three Billy Goats Gruff'. We will be writing recounts this term.     

PE this term will take place on a Tuesday and Thursday; 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.   

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. 

The Meet the Teacher meeting will take place on Monday 8th June at 3.20pm. In the event that you cannot attend the meeting, please see the PowerPoint presentation attached below.
