Welcome to Year 1!

I am Miss Conway, your class teacher, and I am delighted to be working alongside Mrs Shah this year. We are so excited to welcome you into Key Stage 1 and begin this exciting new chapter together.

Year 1 is a wonderful year filled with exciting learning, creativity, friendship and plenty of opportunities to grow. We have lots of engaging learning planned and can’t wait to see the children develop their confidence, curiosity and independence as they continue to develop as independent learners.

We are looking forward to working closely with you and your children throughout the year, supporting them every step of the way and creating lots of happy memories together.

Here’s to a fantastic year of learning – we can’t wait to see what Year 1 has in store!

Week Beginning 7/09/2026

What an exciting week we have had! We even had an alien invasion when a spaceship landed in our playground during our English lesson! This led us perfectly into our new class book, Beegu by Alexis Deacon, which the children are already enjoying.

Year 1 have really thrown themselves into their learning this week. We have started our new topics across the curriculum, including learning about Creation in RE, Monarchs in History, and exploring different types of lines using coloured pencils and oil pastels in Art. In Science, we have begun learning about the human body and started our enquiry question: “Do the oldest children have the longest feet?” We can't wait to find out!

The children have been absolutely brilliant and it has been wonderful to see their excitement and curiosity about all the new learning ahead. What a fantastic start to Year 1! We hope you have a lovely weekend.

Week Beginning 2/09/2026

What a fantastic first week we have had in Year 1!

The children have enjoyed sharing their summer projects with their classmates and have loved finding out more about each other. They have also impressed us with how enthusiastically they have jumped into their learning, thoroughly engaging with their phonics, writing and maths.

This week has also been about laying the foundations for a successful year in Year 1. We have been settling into our new routines, getting to know our classroom and building on the wonderful skills the children already have. It has been lovely to see them approach everything with such enthusiasm and confidence.

We are so proud of how well everyone has started their Year 1 journey and can’t wait for it to continue!
