A Taste of Daily Life in Class 1

Teacher: Miss Sharp TA Miss Singleton Mrs Nupur
Our Classroom doors open at 8:45am and we are greeted by the teaching time. We
enjoy eating our bagels before we take part in a morning starter task in our seats.
We have the opportunity to have a bottle of milk or a drink of water, before a whole
school assembly or collective worship session in the classroom.
We then start our day by taking part in small group phonic sessions following the
Read, Write, Inc programme. This programme helps all children to learn to read
fluently, spell words and focuses on developing their skills in comprehension.
 
This session is followed by playtime and a snack of toast. The children are given the
chance to take part in a range of playground games with their friends or explore the
fitness equipment outside.
After this we will complete a Maths session following ‘The White Rose’ scheme of
work before saying our school lunchtime prayer and heading to the hall for
dinnertime. After dinnertime we enjoy lots of physical activities outside with our
friends, exploring the equipment and playing different team games.
 
After dinnertime we will complete our English lesson. We focus on a number of
exciting texts and genres to bring our learning to life, whilst developing a range of
skills.
We have a short playtime to recharge and we are then ready to follow our national
curriculum subjects such as of Science, History, Geography, Religious Education,
Music Computing and Art & Design. During these lessons we will have fruit time, the
children can choose from a range of fruits to help keep their energy up for the
afternoon and a drink of water.
 
We acknowledge achievements by receiving stickers and Dojo points and being
praised for our achievements in assemblies.
 
Reading is super important in Year One and we have countless opportunities
throughout the day and in phonics to practice our reading. 
At the end of each day, we finish with a story that we have chosen. Developing a
love of reading. We will be encouraging your child to read for pleasure as much as
possible at home, alongside our whole class reader.
 
Our classroom is a happy, safe place, just the right environment to learn and have
fun. Each child will be supported to flourish into confident and unique individuals
