Welcome to Year 1 PowerPoint
Social Story
Each year, we create a Social Story for our individual year groups. The aim of the Social Story is to help children become accustomed to their change in environment as they progress upwards through the school. It outlines how their classroom will look, who their teachers are, and how the school day may look. Our Year 1 social story can be found here:

Our Learning
Rockstar and Robot Day
Year 1 rocked out on Times Tables Rock Stars and Robots Day! We love practising our maths skills using the Numbots app and loved dressing up as robots and rock stars even more! We took part in lots of maths activities and had a brilliant day. (Click on the gallery link to see more)
Friendship week
Year 1 loved celebrating Friendship week. We took part in lots of wonderful activities that allowed us to explore what friendship means and also celebrate our wonderful friendships. (Click on the gallery link to see more)
Leaf Man
As the Autumn leaves started tumbling, Year 1 read the book Leaf Man. We collected leaves and threw leaves and made our own Leaf Men to explore different verbs to describe how Leaf Man moved. (Click on the gallery link to see more)
Andy Goldsworthy
Year 1 have had great fun exploring the work of Andy Goldsworthy. We loved the sculptures that he made using natural materials. He inspired us to create our own masterpieces.
