There are two classes in Y1, Daffodil Class and Sunflower Class

Welcome to Year 1 - Year 1 Induction 

Children begin the National Curriculum in Year 1 and this is a natural progression from Early Years.

Core Subjects taught are:

• English (Reading and Writing)
• Maths

Other Foundation Subjects that are taught are: 

• Science
• History
• Geography
• Religious Education
• Music
• Design and Technology
• Art
• PE
• Computing
• PSHE

We focus on using developing children's language skills and their use of language to support learning across the curriculum. They are able to use skills across subjects especially using their developing reading skills to access a range of resources.

In year one we have a big focus on developing children's phonics looking at alternative ways to spell sounds they have previously learnt in reception, which develops their reading and spelling.

In Year One children have daily whole class phonics sessions, as well as group interventions to support the needs of all pupils. In Year 1 we embark on the Phonics Screening where the children are tested on the phonemes that they have previously learnt. The link below gives you some government information about the screening. parents_phonic_info.pdf

As well as daily reading at home and weekly spellings, homework will be set throughout each half term as a project, research or skills practice through TEAMS. We ask that parents encourage their child to complete these tasks. Please remember if you are a member of our Year 1 community, you have access to TEAMS where staff will regularly add links, activities and information to inform and support your child's learning. If you have any trouble accessing this, please speak to your child's class teacher.

Your child's progress will be monitored closely and you will be informed through parent's evenings, targets and reports throughout the year. The class teacher's will discuss any additonal needs with you and work together to support your child's learning and development.

You are also welcome to ask about your child’s progress at any time.
