Year 1
Welcome to our Year 1 class page
This half term has been an incredibly busy few weeks! In writing, the children loved reading our books Winnie the Witch and The Day the Crayons Quit. Year 1 particularly enjoyed exploring the stories and sharing their ideas and produced some incredible pieces of independent writing!
In maths, we started our new topic of geometry – describing positions. The children learnt how to tell their left and right, as well as learning about whole, half, quarter and three-quarter turns!
In PE, the children had fun learning how to play cricket and tennis, where they showed off their forehand and backhand skills.
This half term also included World Book Day! The children loved dressing up as characters from their favourite books. There were some amazing costumes, and Year 1 spent the day completing a range of World Book Day activities!

At Badsey First School, we value the importance of reading.
It is important that your child reads regularly at home to help them consolidate the phonics skills that they have been learning in school, develop their fluency and support their comprehension. It is really important that all children have their reading records and reading books in school each day. When your child reads at school, you will receive feedback in the reading record too.
