Welcome to Class 1

 'Let all that you do be done in love' - 1 Corinthians 16:14

Year 1 is the first year of the National Curriculum, as such there is a more structured environment where children are encouraged to further develop their independence and to take ownership of their learning. Enhanced learning is part of our practice and therefore children will have access to this part of the curriculum.

We aim to grow lively and enquiring minds believing children should always find learning worthwhile and challenging. To do this we scaffold, model and nurture children through their learning so that they can achieve at their own pace and to their best ability. Underpinning all of this is St Anne's Vision 'Do everything in Love' which is the guiding principles of how all members of the St Anne's community should learn, play and be together in line with the school's values and ethos. 

We look forward to sharing your child's learning journey with you and seeing them shine in their own individual ways!

 

Spring Term 2026

 

This term, our class will be enjoying a variety of engaging learning experiences across the curriculum. We will be exploring London and our local community in Geography, helping children develop an understanding of where they live and the wider world. In Art, pupils will use paper to create structures and textures, encouraging creativity and experimentation. Computing this term is about programming beebots and creating our own codes.  

In Science, we will be learning about the human body, naming different body parts and discovering their functions. Our English lessons will focus on developing writing skills, including describing characters from stories and creating our own poems. In Maths, children will build confidence with numbers to 20, exploring addition and subtraction through practical and engaging activities.
