Year 1 Autumn 1 Information
Dear Parents / Carers, Welcome back after the summer holiday. We hope you and your families enjoyed a lovely, long break and are raring to go for the new academic year! This half termly information sheet informs you of our curriculum and important dates for your diary. We hope you find the following information useful. Year One is an incredibly special year, full of hard work, fun times and special memories. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries or questions.
Curriculum New Beginnings: We begin Year One with a short PSHE unit “Children in Our Class’’ and “Differences.” Through these units of work, the children will develop a growing understanding of their friends and will be taught to appreciate similarities and differences.
Religion: We will be learning about: Families – Exploring the many different family types Belonging – Recognising different groups to which we belong.
Each day at St John’s, we know we are a part of God’s family. In a place where we love and are loved. In a place where we learn to love and love to learn.
In a place where we believe in ourselves and believe in each other. In a place where we grow happily together trusting and loving God. Dios es Amor.
