Green Class - Year 1

Welcome to Green Class. The class teachers are Mrs Callicott and Mrs Hicks. Mrs Callicott teaches in Green Class on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Mrs Hicks teaches in Green Class on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

In Year 1 the children learn by exploring, talking, being active and creative whilst developing independent working skills. The children learn new information and skills both indoors and outside. There are a variety of topics throughout the year covering the National Curriculum. Interesting educational visits and visitors into school are an important part of making learning engaging. Learning in Year 1 takes place through play and continuous provision, as well as whole class learning.

Every term we have a homework grid which can be completed at your own pace throughout the term. We encourage children to complete as many homework activities as they like, and bring them in to be celebrated and displayed throughout the term. Children have the opportunity to change their books on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday –  please hear your child read every night as reading is essential to all areas of learning.

The teaching assistants in Year 1 are Miss Howells, Mrs Venn, Mrs Fairhall, Miss Derrick and Mrs Vowles. The children also have weekly PE lessons taught by Swift Sports.
