Year 1

Autumn 2026

 

Welcome to Year 1

One Family, Aiming High, Learning Together with God 

Welcome to a brand-new school year! I am so excited to be your child’s teacher and to begin our learning journey together. Year 1 is a very important and exciting step, full of new skills, discoveries, and adventures. This year, we will explore stories, numbers, the world around us, and lots of creative activities that help each child grow in confidence and curiosity.

We aim to create a happy, safe, and inspiring classroom where every child feels valued and encouraged to try their best. With your support, I know this will be a wonderful year of learning and fun.

I look forward to working with you and getting to know your children as we make Year 1 a memorable part of their school journey.

Our first full week back has been extremely busy but the children have coped extremely well! All the children have settled into year one beautifully.  They have taken part in a variety of lessons and have thoroughly enjoyed them.

In Maths we have been learning to sort and count objects, In English we have been learning to use our phonics to write labels. In science we have begun exploring plants and will be going on to learn the different parts of a plant. In History we have begun to learn all about timelines and how to use a timeline. In RSE we have been sharing what makes us special and discussing our likes and dislikes. The children also took part in their first Art session with artist Gina.
