Newton Class Y1

WELCOME TO NEWTON CLASS
 
Our class is a team - we are discoverers, educators, leaders and learners of the 21st century!
We have two classes of Y1 pupils and Newton Class is one of them.
 
We are part of the Discoverers Stage, working closely with the rest of Year One and Year Two across Key Stage 1. All of the Year One adults work closely together and know the children in both Newton and Fleming classes well. We also encourage the children to play, work and learn together across the two Y1 classes.
 
Our class is named after Sir Isaac Newton, the famous mathematician and physicist and recognised to be one of the greatest scientific discoverers of all time.
 
 

Mrs Keill

Class Teacher

I am Mrs Keill and I am the class teacher in Newton class. I am looking forward to working with Mrs Oswick and Mrs Reskelly. We will work closely together; we are lucky to have such a great year 1 team. We have so many fun learning activities and experiences planned for this year. Here are a few facts about me: Favourite colour: Pink Favourite animal: Dogs – I have a very naughty Miniature Schnauzer called Pippi. Favourite beach: Porth beach Favourite book: Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren– my dog Pippi is named after her! Favourite food: Street food, it is always so delicious. Interesting fact about me: I was born and grew up in Germany, as I am a military child. My dad is Dutch and I spent most of my childhood in Holland. I love everything about Holland, it is a wonderful, welcoming country.

English
This term, we will continue to develop our transcript and sentence writing based upon stories by Shirley Hughes. 
 
Reading
We teach reading through Little Wandle. We continue to develop our reading skills, including decoding, prosody and comprehension. We encourage a love of reading through engaging in a range of different book types and genres. We need your support with this and ask you to read 5 times a week and record this in your child's reading record. Please ensure your child's book and reading record are in school every day. 
 
Maths
In maths, we will learn to understand the part-whole model, fact families, number bonds to 10 and addition and subraction of one or two digits. Naming and describing 2D and 3D shapes.

Continuous Learning
Within Year 1 we follow a Continuous Provision alongside our whole class and group teaching approach during the Autumn Term. The children will have a main lesson input as a whole class and then complete their independent work with an adult in a small, focused group.  They are then able to access activities within the classroom or outside alongside this learning which will further their understanding of topics. 
PE
Our P.E. days in Newton are Wednesday and Friday. Please make sure your child comes to school wearing their kit.
