Welcome to Red Class' Page
All Year 1 children are taught together each morning as "Red Class".
In the afternoons the Year 1 class is split between Purple and Yellow classes.

P.E
P.E days vary according to which class children are in in the afternoon, so to save any confusion P.E kits (including trainers) are best left in school all week. If all items are clearly named they can be easily reunited with their owners.
For health and safety reasons jewellery is not permitted in lessons. Please aid us by removing any jewellery before school and making sure that any long hair is tied back on P.E days. NOTE: Teaching staff cannot remove jewellery so please take this into account with tricky to remove items.

Home Reading Books
When your child has read their home reading book with someone at home and is ready to move on please remind them to put their book and reading record book into the blue box in the classroom.

Our Learning
We like to have fun whilst we learn in Red Class; we often venture outside to make the most of our wonderful Outdoor Classroom and woodland area. If you have come into school recently you may well have seen us outside during RE lessons finding out how Jewish people build their temporary Sukkah shelters which are used during a Jewish festival called Sukkot, or collecting leaves to make repeating patterns in Maths, or perhaps you have seen the photographs of our art sculptures made from things we could find in the woodland? In our music lessons we have spent time listening for different sounds in the Outdoor Classroom and had a go at making some ourselves. We have had to wrap up warm sometimes but we love learning outside!

We have our Numeracy lessons in the morning in Red Class and we use all kinds of things to help us find out as much as we can about numbers, shape and reasoning. We have had a Toy Shop to help us learn about money, we have drawn around our feet and compared them to see whose are the shortest, the longest and whose feet measured the same, (come and see our footprints pictogram in the classroom!) At the end of the Spring term we were deciding how many Easter Eggs each person in our family might get, we had to share out eggs into groups. We do quite a lot of cooking too which means lots of weighing, measuring and counting. We like to try to make our Maths fun!
