Year 1 - Mrs Blackett 2021 - 2022

Mrs Blackett

Welcome to Year 1

Our Class Teacher is Mrs Blackett and our Teaching Assistant is Mrs Regan.

Despite the difficult year with school closures and bubbles we have still had lots of fun and produced some fantastic work. We are extremely proud of all of the children in Year 1.

Here are some examples of the super work the children have completed both at home and school.

We began the school year exploring the topic of 'Penguins, Possums and Pigs.' In Art and Design, the children enjoyed experimenting with a variety of media; pencils, crayons, pastels, charcoal to observe and draw shapes from observations. They were able to investigate tone and enjoyed using the watercolour paints. The children had great fun manipulating clay to make a sculpture of a penguin!

Remote education at St Lawrence CE Primary School

Every member of staff is still working full time in school.
Teachers and teaching assistants will be available throughout the day to answer any queries you or your child has about the work that has been set.
There is no difference between the work set in school and the work that is completed by pupils at home.
Literacy and Numeracy lessons taught in each class are shared via Zoom so that every child has contact with their teacher on a daily basis. Children joining by Zoom will be expected to join in with the learning in class.
Lessons will be shared via the class pages on the website and / or class dojo.
Children at home and in school will be set a personal project to work on alongside the formal teaching. This could be a history, science, art or DT project. Additional work will be set for other subjects.
Pupils will be encouraged to take part in PE activities from home.

In all subject areas, standards of teaching and learning will remain at the usual high standard. Pupils will be expected to submit work and teachers will mark and return it. Everyone at home and in school has worked incredibly hard throughout the Autumn Term to plug gaps in learning; pupils were making excellent progress. We do not want to let that slip!
