Welcome to Year 1!

Class Teachers: Miss Armitstead, Miss Vickerman, Mrs Grant & Miss Joss

Year 1 is a very exciting time for children and we make it even more exciting by organising special events throughout the year.

At Southey Green, we promise to provide our children with 6 unique  experiences in each year group. We call these 'Southey's Super Six.'   These tasks give our children something to look forward to each year and in places, provide an opportunity that the children may not have had previously.

Take a look at our topics for this coming year. We intend to teach the children a wide range of skills alongside an array of knowledge for each unit.  There may be slight changes throughout the year depending on weather, availability and other opportunities that arise.

Autumn 1:

This term we have really loved our DT topic “Movement Magic”, we learnt what a moving picture was. We then used a range of different sliders and pivots to create our own moving picture. We linked this to our English topic “Under the Sea.”

Take a look at some of the photos below – we are really proud of them.

Autumn 2: 

So far this term in Reading and English we have been looking at “Mog the forgetful cat” and “Gecko’s Egg”. Ask us about these stories, we can tell you the character, setting and which part was our favourite. We used these stories to help us write some sentences, making sure we used our phonics skills to support us.

Another area of the curriculum we have enjoyed this term has been Science. We are learning all about animals, we have been classifying them and labelling.
