Welcome to Sloth Class!

The children of Year 1 will be taught by Mr. Beresford with teaching assistant support provided by Miss Bexon & Miss Gittens.

Mr. Beresford is also the school's SENDCo - commitments relating to this role mean that he will be out of class on Wednesdays. Mrs Ward will cover the class on these days.

Our Curriculum

The document below outlines the curriculum coverage for Year 1, some of which is still under review and subject to further development. 

Visits & Visitors

This year we are planning on taking the hard working children of Sloth class to the Magna in Sheffield. No date has been set for this as yet but this will take place during the summer term. Details will be confirmed via Dojo in due course.

In Year 1 we get through a lot of books, too many to mention here but here are the books that form the core of our writing in each of the first five half terms...

• The Enormous Turnip - Kathy Parkinson
• How to Catch a Star - Oliver Jeffers
• Handa's Surprise - Eileen Browne

Oliver Jeffers and Benji Davies have also written a number of other books that we particularly enjoy in Year 1, you can see a seclection of these below.
