Wold Newton Foundation School

Welcome to Class One 2024/25

Spring Term

Teacher: Miss Scatcherd

Teaching Assistant: Mrs Barnett

In Class One our year one and year two children work together to learn and develop their knowledge and skills in a friendly and creative environment in which we celebrate the uniqueness of each child.

We follow the Jolly Phonics programme which is supported with reading books which the children take home. The children will be completing lots of practical maths, reading, writing, role play and creative activities (using a multi sensory approach). Where possible, these will be linked to the topic.

The children participate in differentiated phonics and guided reading groups and receive individual support as needed. They also have a spelling check every week and will begin to have times tables checks as the year goes on. Continuous provision is in place to promote creative learning and to allow the children to apply their knowledge and skills. We also have a wonderful outdoor area which is used daily to support the teaching of maths and English.

Children have a Jolly Phonics reading book to take home, which we politely request is read as much as possible.

Please see our planning, updates and photos (below).

Spring 1:

PE will be on Wednesdays (gymnastics)

Please see what we have been doing during the Autumn term below

History: We have been looking at the history of flight, this included going on a school trip to the Yorkshire Air Museum

Design and Technology: We have been looking at flight and how aeroplanes can fly. We made paper aeroplanes and helicopters and changed the designs to see how we can be affective in the design process.
