Class 1

Class 1 - Miss Jefferis

Welcome to Class 1!

I hope that you have all had a fantastic summer holiday and enjoyed lots of time in the sunshine! I am so excited to welcome you all into Class 1. We are going to learn lots of new things this year and have so much fun together!

First half term at Wymeswold:
We understand that starting school is a big step from Nursery and that children and parents may feel apprehensive and nervous about this new chapter. We would like to reassure you that it is our priority that your child feels safe and happy at school. During the first few weeks we prioritise settling the children into their new environment and giving them opportunity to become familiar with us and their surroundings. It is also important to us that the children feel a sense of belonging as new members of the Wymeswold School Community. Our first topic ‘All About Me’ gives the children an opportunity to learn about each other, their families, friends, likes, dislikes and what makes each of them different.

Learning in Reception:
Throughout class 1, your child will learn through a mixture of short, structured teaching sessions, circle time discussions and continuous provision (play). The structured teaching sessions include: phonics, literacy, maths, topic, PSHE, RE and PE.
In addition to this, each half term we will have a focused topic. These topics are:
Autumn 1: All About Me
Autumn 2: Celebrations and People Who Help Us
Spring 1: Traditional Tales
Spring 2: Growing
Summer 1: The World Around Us
Summer 2: Minibeasts and The Great Outdoors
During each half term, the children will learn lots of new things about the topics listed above. They will learn both through ‘topic’ teaching sessions and specific activities that they may engage with during play.

Key Information:
Class 1 will have PE sessions on a Monday afternoon and on a Thursday morning. Please ensure that your child comes into school on these days wearing their PE kit. PE will be either inside or outside so please send appropriate clothing for the weather.
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday your child should wear normal school uniform.

As the year progresses, I (Miss Jefferis) will add more information onto the Class 1 page to inform you with any key dates, topics, visitors or activities that are coming up. I will also add specific subject information for phonics, maths and literacy. You may use this to support you and your child at home.

If you have any questions, queries or concerns. Please do not hesitate to contact me using the class 1 email address.

I cannot wait to teach your children – we are going to have a fantastic year!
