A warm welcome to Owl Class. We are a very happy and caring team who learn through fun and hard work. Year 1 is a big step up for the children and our priority is to ensure that your child feels happy and safe. We aim to encourage independence and confidence as the children move on through the school. We have an exciting year ahead and are looking forward to many great learning activities and adventures.

This term we will be learning about traditional tales. We will be reading lots of different versions of these stories and retelling them through drama, writing and puppets shows. We will be looking at flipped and twisted versions of these well known stories and creating our own versions.

We will be developing our mapping skills, directional language and programming skills creating maps of a fairytale kingdom and of our school grounds.

 We will be creating large scale mixed media art works as well as designing, and making homes that are made from a range of materials. In Science we will be exploring the properties of materials, carrying out a series of fair tests to evaluate the suitability of different materials for different purposes. 

Madame Pond will be leading our interactive French sessions on a Thursday morning. The children learn through a variety of exciting interactive activities. On   September 26th we will celebrate the European Day of Languages. (http://edl.ecml.at/)

The children will really benefit from the expertise of our gymnastics coach Ruth. Every Wednesday afternoon they will be taking part in fantastic gymnastic sessions lead by our talented professionals. Please ensure your child has their kit each day though as there may be other physical sessions throughout the week.
