Year 1 Summer Term Update
As we step into the summer term, Year 1 is full of energy and enthusiasm! The children are making the most of our continuous provision outdoors, exploring nature and enjoying time in our wonderful wildlife area.
In Science, we’re exploring the topic of plants. The children have been busy gardening—planting, observing, and learning to name a variety of flowers and vegetables.
In Art, we’re focusing on portraits, and the children are having immersive creative experiences in our outdoor provision, using nature as their inspiration.
There’s even more excitement to come—our big trip is coming up soon (we’re keeping the destination a surprise for now!). We’ll also be learning all about castles as part of our History topic.
June will bring the Phonics Screening Check, and the children are working hard and making fantastic progress.
It’s a joy to see how much the Year 1 children are flourishing—I can’t wait to see them continue to grow this term! Please keep checking our social media pages on instagram and facebook for reels and photos!

Growth Mindset
Growth mindset is about having a positive attitude and supports being a successful learner.
Showing a growth mindset helps us face challenges, overcome failure and
be resilient. At WCP we celebrate mistakes in all subjects as we know that that can be the first attempt in learning. We discuss how our
learning behaviours contribute to be successful in school and relate this to
future ambitions. Each term we focus on a particular learning behaviour
that is linked to growth mindset and certificates are awarded to children who show these learning behaviours in school.
