Hello and welcome to Jeffers class page. My name is Mrs Crato and I will be teaching Year 1. I am looking forward to all the exciting learning and experiences that we will have this year!

Eglish - Experience day

The Way Back Home by Oliver Jeffers

The children have created their own string telephone so that the boy and the alien can communicate with each other.

Eggbox Maths

The children have enjoyed exploring all of the different number bonds that make 10.

Maths

Year 1 have explored all the ways of making 5

Geography

Year 1 have enjoyed learning all about the compass. We have explored using a compass on the playground and the children followed the direction of North.

Targeted Provision

What is targeted provision? 

We have short bursts of activities each day. These activities help to develop the skills that the children need to further their learning such as fine motor skills, cutting skills, number formation, letter formation, mathematical awareness, Phonics and sentence structures. Each activity is planned and delivered to target areas that the children need to develop. Here are some of our activities below.

Autumn 1 - DT Making our fruit salad

Autumn 1 - Science

We followed instructions and made our own dog biscuits.

English - Little Red Riding Hood

Experience Day - We went exploring in the wild garden to see what we could see and hear.

We used our experiences to create sentences about what we would be able to see and hear in the woods.

Homework

This will consist of a half-termly project.

Weekly spellings will be sent home every Friday.

Reading 

Please try to read each night with your child. It will really help them to progress in all curriculum areas. Your child will be sent home with a reading book and a RWI book to read at home daily. We will be teaching and learning our Phonics sounds daily so it is important that the children also revise this at home. 

P.E/Swimming 

P.E will take place on a  Wednesday and Thursday.

Our P.E kit includes the following:

• White polo shirt
• Navy blue shorts
• Black pumps 

​During the colder months children can also wear the following:

• Dark tracksuit bottoms 
• School jumper  

Please ensure that your child's P.E kit is clearly labelled and is inside a school P.E bag. P.E kits will be kept in school and will be sent home half-termly to clean and return. 

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to come and see me at the end of the day!
