Hello and welcome to STARLING CLASS!
My name is Mrs Horne and I am one of your teachers alongside Mrs Smith. There are also two lovely teaching assistants who work with you in Year 1 called Mrs Harman and Miss Coombes. We are all really looking forward to teaching you and going on lots of adventures in learning together.
We want our classroom to build on your time in Reception and be full of fun and inspirational opportunities for you to take your own learning further. We have lots of lovely resources to use and a wonderful outdoor area for you to explore in too. I like the children in Starling Class to be kind, polite and look out for each other. I also like you to be independent and look after our amazing classroom.
In Year 1, we will learn lots of exciting things! In the Autumn term, we find out about our amazing bodies and get a visit from some animals to help us with our science learning. We also work on our drawing skills in art and learn about how toys have changed over time in history. In the Spring term, we learn about the United Kingdom in geography, make a vehicle with wheels and axles in DT and learn how to stay safe and healthy in PSHE. In the Summer term, we find out more about our local area, make yummy fruit kebabs and even visit the beach!
What an exciting year we will have! I cannot wait to begin!
