Hello and welcome to Woodpecker Class! 

My name is Mrs Allen and I am your teacher.  Mrs Taylor is the teaching assistant in our class. We are really looking forward to teaching you and going on lots of adventures in learning.  

We want our classroom to build on your time in Reception and be full of fun and inspirational opportunities for you to take your own learning further. We have lots of lovely resources to use and a wonderful outdoor area for you to explore in too. We like Woodpecker Class children to be respectful and kind and to always try their best. 

In Year 1, we will learn lots of exciting things! In the Autumn term, we find out about our amazing bodies and get a visit from some animals to help us with our science learning. We also work on our drawing skills in art and learn about how toys have changed over time in history. In the Spring term, we learn about the United Kingdom in geography, make a vehicle with wheels and axles in DT and learn how to stay safe and healthy in PSHE.  In the Summer term, we find out more about our local area, make yummy fruit kebabs and even visit the beach!  

What an exciting year we're going to have - we can't wait to get started on our learning journey together!
