Children

Class 1

Welcome to Class 1

 Brilliant Buttercups and Delightful Daffodils!

We are the best year group in the school! We have lots of fun learning through play and exploring. 

Our teachers are Mrs Wilkinson (Brilliant Buttercups) and Miss Collett (Delightful Daffodils) and our teaching assistants are Mrs Turner and Mrs Andrew. On Tuesday afternoons Mr Yates teaches us PE! 

Please remember:

  • Keep an eye out for our weekly newsletter which is uploaded onto the website every Friday - it provides you with useful information about what we are learning about in Class 1.
  • Our P.E. day is on a Tuesday. Please ensure that your child comes to school in their P.E. kit on this day. 
  • Make sure all items of clothing, book bags and water bottles are clearly labelled with your child's name.
  • Please ensure you are listening to your child read three times per week with a signed entry in the diary. 
  • Please keep wellies and a raincoat in school so that we can be outside in all weathers. In the winter, please make sure your child comes to school in a warm coat. 
  • No toys are to be brought into school. 
  • Learning through play can be messy! We endeavour to keep the children clean using aprons but sometimes mess on clothes is unavoidable. 

Forest Fridays

Here at St Michael's, we are blessed to have amazing school grounds. Every Friday, we make use of our school grounds and spend all afternoon outside! We passionately believe that taking our learning outdoors provides the children with rich opportunities to learn real life skills, in an environment where they can seek adventure, make sense of the physical world around them and enhance their well-being!

  • Autumn Term 1 - Discover - What if we were all the same?

    Published 12/10/22, by Vicki Collett

    This term, our topic is 'all about me' where the children begin to get to know each other and learn all about themselves through discovering similarities and differences between themselves and others. 

    To explore this topic, we will be reading the following stories: 'Super Duper You', 'Owl Babies', 'No Place Like Home', 'Funnybones' and 'Mr Big'.

    Through learning about themselves and those around them, this should enable children to make connections with others, supporting them to self-regulate, show respect and spread kindness which are all deeply rooted in our Rainbow Values.
