Year 1

Year 1

Year 1 is an amazing year group.  Mrs Gaunt and Mrs Day are the class teachers and they are supported by Mrs Chapman, Mrs Burnett and Mrs Mason.

We continue to learn through play but also balance this with more structured time too.  We continue to explore, discover, invent, problem solve and discuss in our indoor and outdoor environment.  We have lots of fun topics to explore and we make learning exciting, creative, lively and relevant.  We thrive on learning together!
