Year 1

Welcome to Year 1!

Mrs Bush, Miss Curtis, Miss Jarvis, Mrs Monk and Mrs Coles are our Year 1 teachers.

This term, as part of their ‘What a wonderful world’ inquiry project, Year 1 children read a poem by Benjamin Zephaniah called ‘Nature Trail’. Benjamin Zephaniah is a well-known and celebrated poet whose poems often feature colloquial dialect. Inspired by his poem, the children went on their own nature trail to explore the creatures that live on our school grounds. They even wrote their own poems all about it.
