Mr N Nickeas

Welcome to Year 1B!

We are excited to teach your children this year and be a part of their learning journey. We have Mrs Griffin who is supporting in our classroom and we will all work together to create the best learning environment for the children. We look forward to sharing what we learn together and to make this an enjoyable year for everyone!

Thank you!

Our Learning Journey:

English: In English we will be looking at many different stories and books including: You Choose, Lost and Found, Dogger, Zog, Little Red Riding Hood and The Enormous Turnip

Maths: In Maths we follow the White Rose Scheme of work. We begin with Place Value to 10 followed by addition and subtraction, before moving onto the same skills but with numbers up to 20. We then look at numbers to 50 and even within 100 in the Summer term!  
Topic: Geography topics include the United Kingdom, our local area and we also look at London!

In History we learn about toys from the past and present time, The Great Fire of London followed by Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole in Summer!

Science: In science we will learn about materials, animals and plants!
RE: In RE we explore many different bible stories each half term!

We also learn about lots of new things in our Computing, Music, PSHE, Handwriting, Mastery of number, Art and DT!

Phonics:

We use the Read Write Inc. Phonics scheme. Phonics begins everyday at 9am so it is important children are in school on time ready to go! The following video shows the sounds we learn this year and you can practise at home too!

Important Information

• PE days are on a Wednesday afternoon. Children need their PE kit and black pumps. We will send PE kits home at half-term to then be returned when the children come back in. 
• Homework is sent out on a Friday and needs to be returned by the following Wednesday.
• Reading books are sent home each day with a reading record. When your child reads to you, please sign their diary. It is important to read every night with your children.

Thank you!
