Astronauts Class

Welcome to Astronauts

Welcome to Astronauts class which is home to the Year 1 children. The transition from Reception (Earth Class) to year 1 is one small step in their school journey but a giant leap for the children in terms of their learning.   

Astronauts continue to learn through 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.
