Year 1 at Maple Court Academy is such a fabulous place to be and we are very excited to share our year band with you! We are enthusiastic learners, we are always supportive of our peers and are proud of each other’s achievements. The reading area is extremely popular in 1K, children often share their favourite stories with each other and show lots of interest in looking at new texts. We also vote daily on which story we would like to read as a class before home time. Our lessons are fun, interactive and build upon already gained skills. Children have the opportunity to work independently, in small groups and in pairs whilst exploring Science, History, Geography and Religious Education to name a few lessons.
At Maple Court, we are proud to show the MAPLE values at all times.
The Summer Term is busy in Year 1! Our RE topics are all about Creation and thinking about the world we live in. Our science topic for the term is ‘Plants’ as well as learning about the seasons of Spring and Summer. In PSHE our topic is all about relationships, we will be discussing how to build positive, healthy relationships with our friends and family. In summer term 1 we are learning about Kings and Queens in History and Structures in DT, where we will be designing and making a model climbing frame. In the second half term we will be covering maps, compass points and landmarks in Geography, as well as revisiting our learning on the countries of the United Kingdom and capital cities. In Art we will be studying the artist Jeff Koons and creating our 3d sculptures. Computing this term will focus on programming, we will be using BeeBots to give commands to make it move.
Our PE lessons takes place on a Wednesday & Friday. Please make sure your child has a red PE top, black shorts/joggers and black pumps in school ready for PE. Any earrings must be removed. Please help your child to practise getting changed for PE independently.
Maple Court Academy uses Class Dojo as a way of communicating with parents.
For any help or assistance with using Dojo, please speak to a member of the Year 1 team who will be more than happy to help!
In 1W we are keen learners, we are always supportive of our peers and are proud of each other’s achievements. Our classroom is bright and stimulating and our working walls help us to be independent learners. We love stories in 1W and have enjoyed spending time in our school library choosing books to take home. We also vote daily on which story we would like to read as a class after dinner. Our lessons are fun and interactive and build upon already gained skills, children have already begun to show lots of enthusiasm to all of the new things they will be learning in year 1. Together we thought of what we wanted our classroom rules to be. They are:
