We have had a superb day back at Countess Way after half term. Our assembly with Mrs Higginbottom gave us a chance to remember the skills we develop in each year group and we have settled quickly back into being friendly, determined, calm, balanced and achieving Brooklands’ children.
I can’t wait to see what new learning this term brings! Here are some of the high learning zones I spotted this morning:
Here is the half term homework for Year 1 on Countess Way. It is based around our new topic: The Great Fire of London.
Please can you bring home learning in on Tuesday 3rd November so we can share it as a class.
Have a lovely half term!
A big thank you to all those who have attended a Curriculum Tea over the past two weeks. It has been lovely to see so many faces and continue to grow that essential community feeling. I hope that the evenings have provided you with an insight into Year 1 and clarified all the key information.
If you have any further questions or queries, please feel free to ask!
Thanks
Miss Sutton
This week Year 1D took a walk on the wild side, as we ventured out of the classroom on our very own Bear Hunt. On our way we had to tackle some squelchy, soggy mud, swishy swashy grass as well as the squidgy sandpit, it’s a good job that we weren’t scared!!!
On Monday year 1 at Countess Way ignited their All About Me project with a walk to Brooklands Farm Fen Street and then to the park! On our journey we looked at the things we saw around us, we saw houses, trees, lots of cars and lorries and builders working on building sites!
As we are reading Rosie’s Walk in Literacy,on our walk from Fen Street to the park we discussed what we could go around, over and past. We continued to explore these directions and more when playing in the park!
Year 1D have made a super start to their Lanyard Learning this week! Taking big steps towards becoming independent learners in charge of their own work. It’s also amazing to see so many determined individuals achieving those high learning zones!
Keep up the fantastic work 🙂

Welcome back to all the Year 1’s who have joined us at Countess Way! We have been familiarising ourselves with our new school and classrooms. Reciprocal relationships have started to be built through giving good eye contact and gotcha smiles! We have also seen some DETERMINED muscles starting to grow.
It has been a fantastic start to the new year!
