Year 1 Trip to London June 2025
Year 1
Our Teacher is Mrs White
Our Teaching Partners are Miss Jarrusso and Miss Bishop
As we step into the autumn term, Year 1 is full of curiosity and creativity! The children are making the most of our continuous provision, both indoors and outdoors, as they explore, play and learn in hands-on ways.
In English, our mark making is taking us on wonderful adventures into the world of fairy tales. The children are retelling familiar stories, adding their own imaginative twists and bringing characters to life through writing, drawing and role play.
In History, we are learning all about toys from the past—comparing them with the toys we enjoy today. The children are fascinated by how play has changed over time and love sharing their own experiences.
In Geography, we are beginning to explore our local area—noticing the special places around us and learning more about the community we are part of.
In Art, we are experimenting with different tools and techniques to develop our mark making, expressing ourselves in creative and exciting ways.
It is wonderful to see the children settling into Year 1, growing in independence and embracing every opportunity with enthusiasm. We are looking forward to a busy and magical autumn term together!
Please keep an eye on our Instagram and Facebook pages for reels and photos capturing our learning journey.

Growth Mindset
Growth mindset is about having a positive attitude and supports being a successful learner.
Showing a growth mindset helps us face challenges, overcome failure and
be resilient. At WCP we celebrate mistakes in all subjects as we know that that can be the first attempt in learning. We discuss how our
learning behaviours contribute to be successful in school and relate this to
future ambitions. Each term we focus on a particular learning behaviour
that is linked to growth mindset and certificates are awarded to children who show these learning behaviours in school.
