Welcome to the Wrens
Year 1
Wrens are the year 1 class at Greenfield School. During year 1, we work hard to transition from the Early Year’s curriculum to more formal learning while developing routines to help us begin to establish our independence. Year 1 is a very exciting year as the Wrens experience many things for the first time, have ample opportunities to challenge themselves and start to discover their own skills and talents.
During year 1, we work hard to learn new skills with a particular focus on phonics, reading, writing and maths. The Wrens also enjoy the opportunity to focus on individual subjects such as history, geography and science for the first time as well as broadening their social skills in PSHCE. Wrens continue to reflect on the school values and how they can fully embrace them both at school and home.

Autumn 1
The Wrens have all settled well into the routines of Year 1. They are working really hard to remember to use the phonics that we have learnt in their reading and writing. In science this half term we have been learning about the seasons and weather, creating our own weather forecasts by the end of the unit! The Wrens have been creating simple maps of the classroom and playground in geography, learning how to use keys and symbols and thinking about how they can improve the playground. In art we have been learning about nature sculptures and the work of Andy Goldsworthy. The Wrens had lots of fun making their own nature sculptures with things that they have brought in from home.
