Year 1
Welcome to our Year 1 class page
Year 1 have made a fantastic start to the summer term in Year 1! In writing, we have enjoyed writing creative underwater descriptions based on our story Billy’s Bucket, whilst also practising our handwriting and spelling skills. In maths, we enjoyed learning to tell the time, and in art we had fun creating our own clay leaf models, which took lots of patience and concentration to make!
We have also been working extremely hard during our phonics lessons to prepare for the Phonics Screening Check during the second week back. We look forward to seeing all the children’s hard work pay off!
To end this busy half term, we have enjoyed two weeks of swimming! The children have been developing their confidence in the water, improving their swimming skills, and learning important water safety techniques.
We are super impressed with all of the children’s hard work, enthusiasm and positive attitude throughout this busy half term!

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.
