Lowry-Year 1

Welcome to Lowry - Year 1!

In Lowry class we live and breathe our School Values of R.E.S.P.E.C.T as well as our Habits of Mind.

Welcome to the Lowry class page of our school website.

The year 1 class teachers are Mrs Wolfreys (Monday – Wednesday) and Mrs Jacob (Wednesday – Friday). Our LSAs are Mrs Casey (Monday, Wednesday AM and Friday), Mrs King (Tuesday and Thursday) and Mrs Shakespeare (Tuesday lunch, Wednesday PM and Thursday AM).

We will continue to look closely at our School Values of R.E.S.P.E.C.T and look at how we can show this in our classroom.

We are now learning and challenging ourselves by working independently as well as with our learning choices. We know how we can use the environment to help us.

Our concept this half term is HOPE and we will be thinking about Florence Nightingale and how she filled her patients with hope. We will also be looking at the work of Mary Seacole and how she compares with Florence Nightingale. We will be exploring hope further looking at our NHS today and how our doctors and nurses are our real-life superheroes.

In RE this term we will be learning about Hinduism. We will be looking at the story of Krishna’s birthday (Janmashtami) and how this is celebrated within the Hindu community. We will also link this to our prior learning of ‘Creation’ and who we remember as Christians.

Year 1 is a wonderful year where the children become little learners. They are encouraged to join in with all learning and really push themselves! This helps to set them up for a very successful journey at CKS.
