Welcome to Robins Class
We are a Year 1 class taught by Miss Moscatiello.
I absolutely love my job and enjoy teaching and supporting your wonderful children each day.
I am passionate about inspiring a love of learning and helping every child reach their full potential. Most importantly I value building strong positive relationships and creating a happy safe and supportive classroom where children feel confident and excited to come to school.
Outside of school I am a busy mum to two children a boy and a girl and we also have a much loved dog who keeps us active. I enjoy spending time outdoors going for walks and exploring new places with my family.
I am very much looking forward to a fantastic year of learning growth and fun in Year 1!

What are we learning about this Term?
Exploring Our Local Area
In Year 1, we will be learning all about where we live and the world around us. Children will explore their local area, looking closely at the human features (things people have made) and physical features (natural things).
Learning About Our Local Area
Children will:
- Go on local walks to spot human and physical features
- Talk about what makes our area special
- Use simple maps and photographs to describe what they see
Using Google Maps
We will use Google Maps to help us:
- Find our school and our homes on a map
- See where we live in the United Kingdom
- Look at our town from above using satellite images
Comparing Our Home to Shanghai, China
We will also learn about Shanghai, a city in China, which is in the continent of Asia. Children will compare:
- What our local area looks like
- What Shanghai looks like
- How people live, work, and travel in both places
This helps children understand that the world is a big place with many different environments and ways of living.
