    Welcome to Kingfishers

    We are a loving group of year 1 children. We love creating our own games and work well together role playing, being creative and using construction.

    We enjoy being outside and love to swing on the slack lines and climb across the equipment.

    In Kingfishers, we strive to make the right choice by demonstrating our school values. Our ‘stars in the ten frames’ rewards are decided by the children and may include treats such as extra playtime on the field, time on the bikes and scooters, a classroom disco or a tea party. 

    Kingfishers have selected their first ‘stars in the ten frames’ rewards for this term:
    30 stars 60 stars 90 stars
    extra OPAL play (30 minutes) and ice lollies Pizza party make fruit kebabs and watch a film

     

    Our Class Teacher - Mrs Duff

    I am delighted to be teaching Year 1 and feel privileged to be part of such a wonderful, welcoming community. I look forward to learning alongside the Kingfishers, nurturing their curiosity, and embarking on new adventures together as we grow throughout the year.

    Outside of school, I love spending time with my husband and our two daughters, as well as our playful dog and cuddly cat. They keep life busy, joyful, and full of laughter, and I always enjoy bringing that same sense of warmth and enthusiasm into the classroom.

    Our Class Books/Books to Support our Project

     

    This half term, our classroom text is the Dragon Post by Emma Yarlett. We will use this exciting story to inspire our reading and writing. The children will explore clues, think about the characters and their problems, and write their own letters, advice and instructions. We will also be developing our vocabulary by describing dragons, knights, castles and magical settings.

    We will also be reading The Knight and the Dragon by Tomie dePaola to support our castles, knights and dragons theme.
