Welcome to Year One at Thomas Willingale School!
We currently have two classes in Year One; Oak Class led by Mrs Goldie and Spruce Class led by Miss Hartnell.
Mrs Porter is the KS1 Phase Leader.
This year, we will be covering a range of subjects from across the curriculum in a fun and interactive way. Some of our learning will be accessed through our half termly themes.
PE days are Tuesdays and Thursdays.

This week in Year 1, we have been using the greater than (>), less than (<) and equal to (=) symbols in Maths to compare two sets of numbers. In English, we have been reading 'Rain' by Sam Usher and writing sentences about the story. In our My Happy Mind lesson, we learnt about our brains, what they help us to do and what they look like. In PE, we practised controlling our bodies and moving at different speeds. In Science, we learnt about the typical weather patterns that happen during the four seasons.

This week in Maths we have been counting on one more from any number and finding one less than any number. In English this week we have enjoyed reading the book 'Rain' by Sam Usher. We have used this book to inspire us to write super simple sentences! In science we learnt the names of the four seasons and ordered them. In our Computing lesson we learnt about what the internet is and how to use the internet safely. This term in Computing, we will be learning how to use technology safely and respectfully. We will learn the importance of keeping personal information private and how to stay safe when using the internet and other online technologies. We will also discuss what to do if they see something that worries them online and identify trusted adults and sources of support who can help if they have concerns about online content or contact.

This week in Maths we have been recognising numbers as words and practising matching numerals to their number names. We also practised finding one more than any given number. In English, we have been writing all about ourselves! We practised using capital letters, full stops and finger spaces to make sure our sentences were clear and easy to read. In our reading lessons, we are reading a fantastic book called Grandpa's Handkerchief. We explored some of the vocabulary in the text, practised reading with fluency and expression, and retrieved answers from the text. In Science, we are learning about the four seasons. This week we learnt the names of the seasons and practised ordering them correctly throughout the year.
Welcome to Year 1 – 4.9.26
We hope you have all had a super summer! This week the children have settled into Year 1 wonderfully! They have adapted well to the new routine and have been working hard. We have been practising our number formation and our speaking and listening skills. In Maths we have also been learning to sort and count objects. We have enjoyed practising the alphabet in English and forming our letters correctly. In Art we looked at rainbow paintings by different artists and used water colours to paint our own rainbows.
