Welcome to Year One with Miss Margerson
Welcome to Year One! Alongside me this year will be our lovely Teaching Assistant Miss Begum.
Our Year One Classroom has a caring and nurturing environment where the children can flourish, succeed and build up their independence as they make the transition from the Early Years Foundation Stage. The children will have opportunities to build on those fundamental skills through enquiry, exploration and use of their imagination.
Below are just a few pictures of our classroom.

In English, we will read and share lots of new texts. We will be exploring our new focus text ‘Goldilocks and Just the One Bear’, learning how to use traditional story language. The children will be encouraged to use a wider range of conjunctions to help lengthen and link sentences. The children will be asked to check and correct their own writing as well as being encouraged to edit and improve their own writing.
In Maths we will continue learning about numbers to 20 within different contexts. Then we will learn about unitising and coin recognition - counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. . The children will also be bridging back to what they have already learnt about number bonds, addition and subtraction, measuring and how we can use these to help us with our new learning.
In Phonics, we will continue to use Little Wandle, as well as having our guided reading sessions.
Reading
Your child will be read with three times a week. They will focus on decoding, prosody and comprehension. Your child's reading book is matched appropriately to their phonics level.
Please aim to read with your child three times a week. This will support fluency, comprehension and expression.
In Handwriting, we will continue to look at the correct formation of our letters and numbers. In these sessions, we will also be encouraging our hand muscles to work and get stronger by doing some fun finer motor activities.
Our PE days are Monday's, Wednesday's and Friday's and we will be outside and inside for this half term. Please send your child in with their PE kit on these days with appropriate clothing for the weather. We will be getting changed in school, to support the children's independence with dressing.
Please see our Summer Two Curriculum Map, this has all the information about what we will be learning:
Your child's well being and education is of the utmost importance to me. I believe that the relationship between parent and teacher is as important as the relationship between a teacher and a child.
I have always had an open door policy for communications with the parents of the children that I teach - If there is ever anything that you would like to discuss with me, please approach me at the end of the school day or email me on the address below.
