Rabbits

Welcome to Rabbit Class! 

Mrs Smith is the class teacher for Rabbit Class. Each day there is a helper of the day. The chosen child wears a special rainbow lanyard and they help Mrs Smith with lots of important jobs during the day. This is a very privileged role and Rabbit children look forward to their turn.

We have a class mascot, Hopping Holly, who goes home with the children at the weekends. The children take turns to have adventures with her and write in her diary: explaining what they have done together. 

As rewards for demonstrating the Sheerhatch values, the children can earn ‘Gems’. These are counted up at the end of each week and added to the Gem-O-meter total. Over the term, the more they get, the better the treat at the end of the term.

The Year One curriculum is organised around three term-long topics. Our exciting Autumn topic is ‘A Basketful of Memories’ when children begin to learn about chronology- thinking about features of and events in their own life time and comparing these to those of the older generation.  Spring’s topic is: Ice Worlds. During this term, children will learn about all things polar: comparing and contrasting the polar regions to our own locality. The year finishes with the tasty topic: Yum Yum! Children will learn about where their food comes from and how far it has to travel. They will also learn about the origins of some famous foods such as the Victoria Sponge and the Bedfordshire Clanger.

Topic Overviews and Knowledge Organisers

The topic overviews give a brief snapshot of what will be studied in each topic- these are intended as information for parents and guardians. Knowledge organisers are used from Year One upwards: they contain the ‘sticky knowledge’ of a topic and are used by the children for reference and recall. In Key Stage One, these are used for history, geography and science. Once Key Stage Two begins, the range of knowledge organisers is expanded.
