Elm 2025 - 2026

Year 1 Class Page

In Year 1 the class teachers are Mrs Bretland (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday morning) and Mrs Stewart (Wednesday afternoon, Thursday, Friday). We also have Miss Lightfoot, Miss Henry and Mrs Tuppeney helping us.

This half term P.E will be on MONDAY. The children should come into school wearing their P.E kit. They should wear a plain white shirt and navy or black shorts or tracksuit bottoms. Most lessons will take place inside, but on occasions PE may be held outside.  Please ensure they have appropriate footwear.

In English this half term, we will be reading a book called Lost and Found.  We will be focusing on sentence writing, using capital letters for I and our names and starting to use the word 'and' to make our sentences longer. 

Phonics is the teaching of early reading and spelling. We follow Little Wandle Letters and Sounds. Please visit the phonics page for more information. Please continue to read with your child as much as possible and fill in their reading record. Reading records and books need to be in school every day. The children will be given a new reading book every Friday which they will read for a whole week.

In Maths, we follow the objectives set by White Rose. See the attachment below which details the mathematical topics that will be taught in each term. 

Please see our whole year overview below. It shows you what we will be learning throughout the school year in all subjects. There is also an overview for this half term which shows what the children will be learning in each subject until October half term.

If you have any questions or queries then please do not hesitate to contact us by calling the school office to make an appointment.

Thank you,

Mrs Bretland and Mrs Stewart
