Puffin Class is home to our Year 1 children as they take the next exciting step in their learning journey. The transition from EYFS into Year 1 is a considerable one, but we make sure that our children continue to learn in a nurturing, supportive environment where learning is fun, purposeful and engaging.

Puffins are naturally curious, adventurous and resilient birds – qualities that we encourage in our children as they explore, discover and develop as learners. We want our children to be confident in trying new things, curious about the world around them and resilient when faced with a challenge.

A key focus in Year 1 is building strong foundations in phonics, reading, handwriting and number sense. We provide plenty of opportunities to practise and apply these important skills through practical, creative and enjoyable experiences, helping children to develop confidence and a genuine love of learning.

Mr Kent and Mrs Breeze create a caring and nurturing classroom where everyone feels valued, supported and encouraged to have a go. We look forward to a wonderful year of curiosity, discovery, friendship and fun as our children learn and grow together!
