Welcome to Year 1 with Mrs Cooper, Mrs Conway, Mrs Harvey, Mrs Watson, Miss Phillips and Mrs Yol

We are well and truly into the swing of things in Year 1 and we are used to our timetable and the learning expectations of KS1. We now have 2 terms to really progress and fly in all that we are doing.

Just after Easter we will have learnt all of our Level 5 phonics sounds and will be used to spotting them in words to read and we will hopefully be trying to apply them in our writing too. Our writing is coming along brilliantly, we are getting better at remembering the key features in our sentences – capital letters, finger spaces, full stops and also trying to extend our sentences using adjectives and conjunctions.

In Maths we have now progressed onto working with bigger numbers, up to 50 initially and then 100 by the end of the year.  We are gaining confidence in reading these numbers, counting forwards and backward to 100 and carrying out calculations using these numbers too. 

We will continue enjoying our other subjects too and learning lots of interesting facts.

You wait and see what we can do in the summer term, we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
