Class 1 2019 - 2020

The teachers in Class One are Mrs Jobbins and Mrs Harris. We also have Mrs Roberts to help us with our learning.

Our big classroom is made up of lots of areas for us to explore and investigate. We also love to play outside and in our purpose built outdoor classroom 'The Den'. 

Our outdoor space is full of wonderful wooden equipment; our marvellous water wall, play house, rope and pulley system, den posts and story telling throne are just the beginning! We look forward to making the most of it all and seeing lots of wonderful conversations and moments of learning.

We will be welcoming 16 new starters and spending all of our time getting to know them and their families.

Our first topic is 'Amazing Me' so we will be considering the important people in our lives and what makes them special. We will also think about our similarities and differences to to others and how we can be a good friend. We will start by reading some of our new books, 'Starting School' by Janet and Allan Ahlberg, 'Betsy Goes To School' by Helen Stephens, 'The Pigeon Has To Go To School!' by Mo Willems.

In Phonics we will start with Phase One with a focus on initial and final sounds and rhyming. We will introduce Phase Two alongside this with a focus on single sounds and segmenting and blending simple 3 letter words.

In Maths we will start by focussing on one number at a time, thinking about how it can be represented and broken down in to other numbers. We will practice being careful counters.

In Literacy we will practice identifying and writing all or parts of our name, mark making and enjoying stories together.

We are so excited to share our learning with you over the coming weeks. Keep an eye out for photos!
