Welcome to Year 1!
Welcome to our Year 1 page! We are so excited to share some of the wonderful learning experiences your children will be enjoying this year. In spring, we will observe the changing seasons, giving the children an opportunity to connect with nature and explore the world around them. Our history lessons will focus on the fascinating story of the Great Fire of London, sparking curiosity about the past and its impact on our lives today. In geography, we’ll be looking closer to home, learning about London and the local area to develop a sense of place and community. Science lessons will be full of hands-on discovery as we investigate the properties of materials and their uses, while art will take an immersive turn as we dive into the world of colour, encouraging creativity and self-expression. In PE, the children will be developing their balance and coordination through gymnastics, helping to build both skill and confidence. Throughout all of our learning, we will use enhanced continuous provision to create engaging opportunities for the children to explore, play, and grow their love of learning. For weekly highlights of our class adventures, please see our school Instagram page. Thank you for being part of this exciting journey with us in Year 1!

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.
