Welcome to Orange Class

Our lovely Year 1 this year is made up of Danuta and Sébastien we are the class teachers. We also have a wonderful TA team made up of Agnes, Bibi, Baaba, Joselin, Rashanna, Courtney, Maha and Kelly.

The three topics Red and Orange Class have this year are:

Autumn Term – Famous 5

This topic has a history and science focus and looks at famous people across history. These people are Neil Armstrong (space), Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole (People who help us), Guy Fawkes (Bonfire Night), Christopher Columbus (Travel) and the King (Important people). For each of these people, we look at specific themes and we will base our work around the theme for this person.

Spring Term – Where the wild things are

This topic has a science and geography focus to it and looks at animals and their environments. We will look at a variety of different animals and the environments they live in. We will also explore our senses within this topic.

Summer Term – The Seaside

This topic focuses on history and geography. We will look at all things to do with the seaside environment. Looking at past events, our classroom environment and what a day by the sea would be like. This topic involves role-play and sensory exploration.
