Centipedes

Centipedes class is one of our two Year 1 classes, where our children are in their first year of Key Stage 1. During Year one, we aim to support the development of independence both academically and personally.  Children work hard during their transition into year one and they will become much more fluent in their reading, writing and known facts related to number.  These are the building blocks for future learning and we value the support of parents to help develop fluency in reading and number bonds. We have high expectations of our children but we also have large amounts of fun along the way!

On this page you will find lots of useful information about what we are up to in class, as well as how children's learning can be supported at home, both from a parent's perspective, as well as how children can learn independently at home in their spare time.  We hope you find it useful.

Our Local Area
During this autumn term we are looking at our local area of Bayston Hill. We will take a trip around the village and pay particular attention to our natural areas such as Parrs Pool and the sensory gardens. We will look at the different businesses and facilities which make up our village. We will use this topic to create wonderful, natural art pieces and learn about some important people who used to live in Bayston Hill. In Geography we will look at different maps and begin to understand how we use different symbols and images to navigate.

Important notices:
  • Children will receive new spellings on a Friday, to practise every day.
  • Phoneme mats have been sent home to support the phonetic learning the children will receive at school.
  • Children should aim to read 10 minutes every evening at home and this should be recorded in their individual reading diaries.
  • Children's work and important class announcements will be uploaded onto the seesaw platform. All children have received individual invitations for family members to join.
  • Book change will occur once over the course of the week. The reading records are also checked on these occasions. Children will have many opportunities through phonics and shared reading sessions for additional reading throughout the week. If you have a question or concern and can't see a teacher personally, then these can be written in the diary. More urgent communication should be conducted through the admin office.
