Year 1

Welcome to Year 1

The children in Year One experience a rich and varied curriculum. They are now taking part in more formal lessons that encompass all the Key Stage One subjects. They are encouraged to be more independent and to put forward their own views and ideas.

Life in Year One is very busy but interesting and the children thrive on the knowledge put before them. Within the year they develop into young scholars appreciating what and how they learn and enjoying the achievements they make.

Science

Year One have been learning about Senses. They have taken part in many activities using their sense of smell, taste, hearing, touch and sight. The children worked in groups listening to sounds, looking a pictures and smelling foods and perfumes. The children also took part in a food tasting day, where they had the opportunity to taste many different foods from all over the world, including bread from France and cheese from Holland.

Cross Country

Year One take part in cross country training every Wednesday lunch time. As well as being an exciting time for the children it also prepares them for events such as 'The CAFOD Fun Run' which took place in Runnymede in October and was a great success raising over £600. The children enjoyed racing with their friends and helping to support a great cause.

Religious Education

Year One have been looking at 'Signs and Symbols' in R.E. They have been searching for different signs in and around the school and trying to discover what they mean. The children have also designed their own signs based on the ones they have seen.
