Year 1
Welcome to Year 1
Welcome to Term 1
Welcome to Year 1. I hope you have all had an amazing summer break and managed to create lots of memories! We know the children will tell us all about them over the next few days.
During Year 1, our children will be exploring ideas, discovering different ways to learn, and will be enjoying a variety of fantastic and new experiences. We will endeavour to instil a love of learning in each and every one of our pupils in Year 1, and to inspire the children's imaginations through the different topics chosen throughout the term. Please do have a look at the Newsletter and the Curriculum overview attached.
In order to help you and the children transition into the new school year, here are a few important bits of information for the upcoming term:
