Latest Year 1 News

Friday 6 December 2024 Year 1 visited St Saviour's Church Year 1 visited St Saviour’s Church this week, to embed their learning about a Place of Worship which is important to Christians. Father Salvador was very impressed with Year 1’s knowledge about the sacred artefacts they would find in a Church, and also their behaviour in an important place. They really were ambassadors for showing respectful attitude. Well done Year 1. Year 1 also got to experience what singing in a Church would feel like, as they performed their Christmas song to Father Salvador.
Friday 29 November 2024 Year 1 Retell the Story of Stick Man Wow! Incredible writing Year 1. After learning the ‘Stick Man’ story by Julia Donaldson using a story Map and Talk for Writing strategies, Year 1 retold the story of Stick Man all by themselves. It is incredible how much progress they have made this half term already. What good foundations they made in Early Years and how resilient they are at attempting tricky things. We also furthered our Design and Technology skills by creating a moving picture of Stick Man using split pins to create movement. We are looking forward to creating a background and adding a mechanism to make them move like puppets.

Year 1 New 2023-2024

Friday 12 July 2024 1A ASSEMBLY - Food glorious food Last Friday we were so lucky to see Year 1A 's assembly.. What a treat it was!! It all started with their own version of Handa's Surprise called Inayah's Surprise, adapted to our school in London, instead of fruits from Africa as in the original story. The children then showed where the fruits are found on the map of the world. Mr Andrews is certainly improving our mapping skills!

Friday 24 May 2024 Year 1 get Inspired by Klimt We are thrilled to share with you the highlights of an extra busy but exciting week! Your children showcased their talents and hard work in a way that made us all extremely proud, particularly during the OFSTED visit. Their enthusiasm and dedication truly highlighted the best of Year 1! During the week we focused a lot on Art and Science, drawing inspiration from the renowned artist Gustav Klimt. We really enjoyed looking at his beautiful paintings of flowers, and the children had lots of opportunities to draw and paint their own. The results were lovely! The children’s artwork was not only creative but also reflected their understanding of Klimt’s unique style. In our Science lessons this week we learned about deciduous and evergreen trees. The children enjoyed discovering the differences between these types of trees and identifying them from a range of examples. In Maths, we continued our exploration of place value and their progress has been really positive, and we are d
Wednesday 8 November 2023 Year 1 are Celebrating Year 1 kicked off their new topic, Let's Celebrate, by dressing in clothes they would wear to a celebration. It was lovely to see the children show off their different outfits that are worn for celebrations from Eid to birthday parties. Many of the children brought party food and we were able to share where the foods came from and also try some! Thank you to the parents who were able to make or supply food for this special occasion, it really helped us to appreciate different cultures and to understand the role of hospitality in our community, as we were able to share food with other year groups. The children also had the chance to talk about a celebration that they have been part of outside of school and show photos they had brought in from home.
