Year 1 Teacher's Message

Welcome to Year One. We are Miss Matthew and Miss Purchase and we are eager to share a little about ourselves and what life is like in Year 1. Year 1 is a big step for our children, but we aim to support them in a nurturing way and allow creativity and each child’s individual spark to shine- through roleplay, crafting, writing and reading. Our classroom is a busy, bustling environment, where we explore a range of topics.

Miss Matthew loves spending time outdoors, and will often be seen out and about with her running club. She also enjoys singing, particularly nursery rhymes, and making memories with her little girl at home. Her favourite topic is PSHE, where we learn about lots of ways to work as an effective team.

Miss Purchase loves to be creative, spending her time enjoying music, drawing and crochet. Her favourite subject to teach is art as the children can express themselves in their own ways through collage, painting, drawing and in so many other ways.

Numbots

NumBots | Welcome to the NumBlog!

NumBots is a maths app that helps children learn numbers, addition, and subtraction in a fun way.
Children play short games with colourful robots to help them get better at basic maths.
The app supports what they learn in school and helps them feel more confident.

Here are some ideas of how you can support your child with our Year 1 curriculum:

  • Visit the library and read some books by our class authors; Jill Murphy, Oliver Jeffers and Nadia Shireen.
  • Talk to your child each morning about what the weather is like and what season we are in.
  • Look around your house and talk about what materials different household objects are made from, e.g. wood, plastic, glass, metal, water, rock.
  • Can you take a walk in your local area and identify different types of houses and homes, e.g. detached, semi-detached, terraced house, bungalow, flats/ apartments etc.
