Welcome to Year 1

Autumn Term 2023

 

Welcome to Year 1 .We are a class of 29 children with Mrs Thomas as our  class teacher.  We have a teaching assistant that helps us as well, called Mrs Berry.

Our topic this term is 'Time to Celebrate' . We will be talking about different celebrations that the children know at the start of the term. We will discuss celebrations that occur at different months of the year eg Harvest, Bonfire Night, Christmas, New Year etc . We will also include Celebrations around the world eg Diwali, Hanukkah, Holi etc .

From this we have planned the work that we wanted to do and used our characters, Ambitious Anwen, Healthy Hywel, Global Gethin, Creative Cariad to help us. We will be looking at Wales and identifying Wales on a map. We will discuss St David's Day and how we celebrate this special day. We will identify different countries around the world just like Global Gethin.  We will be investigating how to look after ourselves like Healthy Hywel . We will be learning different songs from different celebrations and creating our own dance/drama  just like Creative Cariad.  We are going to be just like Ambitious Anwen when taking part in many science experiments.  
We will also be joining in with activities to support our Mental Health like yoga, circle time and mindfulness.  We will be learning in the outdoors whenever we can.

Year 1

Welcome to Year 1

Spring Term 2023

 

We are a class of 20 children, with two class teachers, Mrs Fossett and Mrs Evans. We have a teaching assistant that help us as well called Mrs Berry.

 

This term, we are investigating our big questions Why are rights important? and How can I be responsible?  We have begun our learning with a visit from a Celtic Warrior called Jem.  From this we have planned the work that we wanted to do and used our characters, Ambitious Anwen, Healthy Hywel, Global Gethin, Creative Cariad and Digi Dec to help us. We will be looking at how Celtic people lived. We will be visiting St Fagan's to see a Celtic roundhouse and investigate what life was like for a Celtic tribe.  We will also be attempting to make our own Celtic roundhouse and cooking some Celtic food on a camp fire. All of these activities will help us to be more like Global Gethin and strengthen our understanding of what life was like in Wales a long time ago. We will also be joining in with activities to support our Mental Health like yoga, circle time and mindfulness.  We will be learning in the outdoors whenever we can.
