Parents and Families of Year 1

Mrs Carew

Welcome to Year 1 class page 2024-2025

School starts at 8:45am and finishes at 15:15pm- if you can drop off and pick up from the Infant playground and access this via the gate round the right side of the village hall.

Please find the Start of Year pack attached, the yearly overview and a letter from this year’s Year 1 class- they have pearls of wisdom for you! 

I will use the Year 1 class webpage to keep families informed with what's going on.  Please do take the time to check this for regular weekly updates (News Items - below) about our learning in class, as well as notes and important dates for the coming week.

Families, there is a variety of ways for you to contact me.  If you would like to get in touch, or find information, you could:

• Face-to-face:– pop in to see us either before or after school
• Drop a line:- write a note but please don't put any important notes into child’s planner (I only see this once a week)
• Telephone:- give us a ring on 01270 918940 – best before/after school, or during lunchtime
• Website:- check out this Year 1 class page (updated each weekend)
• E-mail:- contact me at mrs.carew@goostrey.cheshire.sch.uk  (emails are checked regularly throughout the week)
• Newsletter: check the school newsletter online – you’ll find it on the homepage, uploaded each Friday
• Twitter: the school has a Twitter account - search for @goostreyprimary to see regular update

On this page you will find lots of information that will be useful to help you and your child. Below you will see a summary of our learning for the term ahead and information about homework. At the end of each week please check the "News Items" for information about the week ahead - scroll down to the bottom of the page to find it. 

Please remember to tell me if your child will not be collected by the usual adult at the end of the day. Thank you.

Autumn Term 2024

Welcome to Year 1!

I hope you have had a wonderful summer and I am excited to hear about your adventures.

I am very much looking forward to our year together. In Year 1, we work hard and we have lots of fun doing it. To start with we will get to know each other and learn how Year 1 works. I hope you enjoyed the letter that last year’s class wrote for you and that it has helped you to understand a bit more about what your time in Year 1 will be like.

In English we will be writing labels, lists and captions whilst looking at friendships and writing about characteristics for our exhibition.

In Maths we will be looking at counting accurately and number formation, as well as adding and subtracting.

As you know our exhibition theme is ‘Heroes and Leaders’. We will be focussing on what makes a good leader, what makes ‘me’ a hero and studying Frida Kahlo as our ‘art hero’ and animals in Mexico: this work for this will involve lots of exciting things including: art, writing, geography, science, PHSE and history.

If you have any question, please let me know.
