Year 1 – Palm & Chestnut

 

Welcome to Year 1’s group page!

This page is where we will update you with news about what is happening in Year 1.  We will also use this space to give you a snapshot of what we have been doing in school and to celebrate and share the children’s learning achievements with you. 

We are passionate about learning through Continuous Provision, where children pursue projects to embed and extend their own learning. At Parkdale, we are also committed to Active Learning. Children are encouraged to be physically active as part of, and between, their learning sessions.

Please see below the key areas of learning that we will be covering throughout the year, and see the Class Notices and Documents sections for important information and year 1 updates.
