Welcome to Year 1

Year 1 is taught by Miss Haynes

Teaching and Learning is supported by Mrs Van Russelt.

Welcome to year 1! I hope you have all had a fantastic summer making memories together. I have been enjoying hearing all about what you have all got up to. I hope you are all ready and excited to start your new adventure in year 1 because it is going to be a fun and enjoyable year with lots of new experiences.

Our new topic- Transport and journeys

This term we are going to explore the world of transport. Our topic is going to take us on our own adventure through using the story The Hundred Decker Bus where anything is possible. The story immediately gives us links to a variety of different types of transports from hot air balloons and ferries to cars and the decker bus itself. This book provides us with many role-play opportunities where children can act out the story in their own bus that they will design and create themselves. Using a bright red bus can create links to the capital city and London where children can discover and explore geographical similarities and differences between London and Wybunbury.

If you have any books, resources or links that will enhance our topic, please get in touch. This term our class author is Oliver Jeffers and we will share a variety of his stories.

Our Holistic Plan that goes alongside this newsletter, gives an overview of our learning intentions in each subject area which links to the national curriculum. Click here to see it.
