Welcome to Amelia Earhart Class
Teacher: Miss Goodall
Welcome to Amelia Earhart Class! We are the Year 1 class at Scissett CE Academy. Our teacher is Miss Goodall and she loves teaching in Key Stage 1, having done so for many years. Mrs Martin, Mrs Conway, Mrs Glen and Mr Burrows also work in our classroom over the week.
In Year 1, we work hard to build on the skills that we have learnt last year in Reception, with a greater emphasis on independence. Though we have a more structured daily routine, access to continuous provision and our outdoor area is incorporated into our weekly timetable. We have lots of exciting topics this year, from the Great Fire of London to Terrific Transport.
We can’t wait to show you what we learn over the year – keep checking back to stay up to date with our Year 1 journey!
Amelia Earhart Autumn 2022
The Big Anti-Bullying Assembly
Michelle Bennett (mbennett) on: Amelia Earhart Autumn 2022
Today, we watched The Big Anti-Bullying Assembly, hosted by The Diana Award. We learnt what bullying is and what to do if we come across it. We feel very proud that no one has experienced bullying in our class - and we hope it stays that way!
We have all raised our hand to take the pledge to stand up to and stop bullying, wherever it may occur. Will you join us in our pledge?
Science Working Walls
Michelle Bennett (mbennett) on: Amelia Earhart Autumn 2022
We are big fans of helping ourselves to develop our own learning in Year 1. After starting our science topic on seasonal changes this half term, we have set up our working wall with key vocabulary. This is working really well for our children who are using their reading skills to help develop their science knowledge. William told us that if we don't know where to look, check the working wall first - what a great skill!
Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart?

Welcome to Year 1's blog! This year we are named after the inspirational pilot Amelia Earhart, who set off to fly around the world in 1937...but didn't return. We have been thinking about what we know about Amelia Earhart and what we think may have happened to her. What do you think happened? Please let Year 1 know!
Prepping for Cross-country
Michelle Bennett (mbennett) on: Amelia Earhart Autumn 2022
We had a wonderful morning with Mr Morris preparing for the cross-country competition. He taught us to go amber NOT green all the way around the course...save the green for the last minute sprints! We are looking forward to competing next week!
And the hat went...SWISH!
Michelle Bennett (mbennett) on: Amelia Earhart Autumn 2022
Our book this half term is The Queen's Hat by Steve Antony. Unfortunately, her hat blows off in the story and goes off on an adventure around London. Today, we investigated how easy it was for our own hats to blow off. Most of them stayed firm on our heads but one did go for a flight.
