Welcome to 1T

'Love, Learn and Live Like Jesus'

Our School Mission Statement; 

"I have come that they should have life and have it to the full." (John 10:10)

Inspired by the teachings of Christ, St Edmund's and St Thomas' Catholic Primary school encourages and guides our pupils and all our school community to have a strong sense of service, love and compassion. In this way, they are encouraged to develop a vision for what they want to achieve with a zest for living life to the full.

                                                          We are the Authors. 

Welcome to our class pages. Here you will find lots of information about the exciting things we are doing in year 1.

This half term our topic is called "We Are Family". We will learn that we are all connected through our home, school and community.

We will be finding out about...

Come and See- our  topics this term are Families - we will find out how families care for each other and that we are part of God's family.  Belonging- we are baptised into the churches famlily. Waiting-Learning about Advent as a time for waiting for Jesus

Timelines (history) - looking back at our own lives and the lives of our family and beyond! We will be looking at the local band The Beatles and how they became famous.

Maps (geography) - We will discover what is in our immediate locality, where everyone in the school family is located and their favourite places in school. We  draw a map of our school to help the people who visit us feel right at home.

Music- listen to and appreciate songs by the Beatles.

Cooking for our family (Design Technology)- making a simple 3 course meal for a family to share (soup, sandwiches and friut kebabs) we will learn some sewing skills too. We will need an apron if we are cooking!

Animals that live in our environment ,including ourselves! (Science)- we will go on an animal hunt and  find out about the anumals that live in school grounds

Take photographs of our favourite places in school and the people who are part of our school family (ICT)- we hope to put these on our map.

Draw and paint pictures of oursevles and our family (art)

Our English work runs alongside all of this. We will be planning a birthday party for a freind of ours. Writing is a big part of this, lists, instructions and stories. We will learn some great grammar skills too. 

Reading will take place everyday as part of our Read Write INc. sessiosn and as an independent activity. We are trying hard to read quietly to ourselves and too our friends. Reading sessions take place daily in class, I try to hear the children read as often as I can on an individual basis.

Maths this half term includes - place value, addition and subtraction, money, multiplication and division.

WOW! What  a lot of things we will be doing....

Don't forget....

School starts at 8.55 and finishes at 3.05

Reading books should be in school everyday so that the Read Write Inc. teacher can change it.

Children should bring a water bottle to school filled with water.

 A healthy snack can be brought to school to have at break time, fruit is provided everyday. A healthy snack is cheese and crackers, toast or fruit.

Please only bring a book bag to school (and your lunchbox of course) We have limited space in our cloakroom and large backpacks don't fit in the space.

If you need to pass me a message on to me when you drop your child off please call or email the office. if you want to see me at the end of the day please wait until all the children have been dimissed.

Keep checking back here for new information about our learning.  I wonder Where will it take us next?
