Year 1 – Merlins

Welcome to Merlins Class!

 

Teachers - Mrs Smith and Miss Buffery

Teaching Assistant - Mrs. Fortsch

 

During Year 1, our pupils 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 the children in Year 1, and to inspire children’s imagination using our terrific topics! We use a cross-curricular approach, ensuring that their learning is meaningful, effective and most of all fun!

During Year 1, we will work hard together to create a positive learning environment where children can be the best that they can be and reach their full potential!

 

Autumn Term

Our topics this term are “To Infinity and Beyond”: and “On a Starry Night”. Our literacy is closely linked to our topics. This term we have stories by Oliver Jeffers including “A Way Back Home” and “Lost and Found”.
