Teacher's Comments

Welcome to Enthusiastic Ennis Class! Our class is named after the incredible Jessica Ennis, an Olympian who competed in seven events and won many gold medals for Great Britain. Jessica demonstrated the determination, competitiveness and sporting behaviour, which is something that we will be prioritising in Ennis Class this year too.

Just like Jessica, in Year 1 we will continue to show determination towards our learning and persevere with learning new skills. To start our fabulous learning, we will be taking a tour through our capital city of London, We will be exploring the famous landmarks within London and we will be using key texts to support our learning: 'Katie in London' and 'The Queen's Hat'. Then, it will be time to head to space to learn about the planets and all of the adventurous astronauts that have travelled there. We will then travel back in time to learn about dinosaurs in our Dinosaur Discovery project too, which is a common favourite. Alongside these great projects, we will be developing our skills in Mathematics, English, Phonics, Science, ICT, PSHE and many themed days to explore Art, Citizenship, RE, Geography, History and Music.

Enthusiastic Ennis Class will be filled with ambition, determination, perseverance and fun learning this year - there is so much knowledge to gain.

There is a need to be the best you can be. You can't panic; you concentrate.
