Year 1 - Squirrel

Welcome to Squirrel Class. We have 24 children in our class. Our teacher is called Mrs Palmer and our teaching assistant is Mrs Jenkin. Mrs Hargreaves is also based in our classroom as SEN support. 

In Year 1 we follow the Blossom curriculum and like to make sure that the learning is enjoyable, fun and memorable. Lots of small group work happens in Year 1, indoors and outdoors. We are a very hard working class and have really enjoyed this term's topic- Superheroes and Explorers. 

We have learnt that we all have a superpower, one of which is the amazing way that the children have adapted to the changes in school. We have learnt all about Antarctica and the animals that live there. The children have discovered all about Robert Scott and his race to the Antarctic. 

In English we are focusing on the Lost and Found story by Oliver Jeffers. In Maths we are learning addition and subtraction calculations. We also have the Key Instant Recall Facts (KIRF'S) that we practise. 

We have PE on a Tuesday, as well as the daily mile and various Go Noodle challenges throughout the week. On Fridays we have a spelling test. Please click on the timetable below to find out more about our week.
