Sprites Class

Welcome

Welcome to Sprites Class

Welcome to Sprites class which is home to the year 1 children. The transition from Reception (Earth Class) to year 1 is considerable but please be assured that we continue to learn through in a range of fun and exciting ways including, song, dance, drama, play and exploration; however, they are now introduced to some more academic learning and have weekly spellings and Key Instant Recall Facts (KIRFS) to learn which support them with their learning. A copy of which can be found on our Class page.
