Welcome to Year 1
Welcome to Year 1! This is an exciting stage in your child’s education, where they build on their Early Years experiences and begin their journey into Key Stage 1.
In Year 1, we focus on developing confidence, independence, and a love of learning. Pupils continue to strengthen their skills in phonics, reading, writing, and mathematics through a wide range of fun and engaging activities. Our learning approach is practical and creative, and we use continuous provision within the classroom. This means children have regular opportunities to choose from a range of structured activities that support their learning, helping to develop independence, curiosity, and problem-solving skills.
A key part of the Year 1 curriculum is phonics. Children take part in daily phonics sessions to support their reading and spelling skills. In June, all Year 1 pupils take part in the Phonics Screening Check, a short, informal assessment that helps us understand how well children are progressing with their phonics knowledge. We will keep you informed and supported throughout this process.
We encourage our pupils to be kind, curious, and ready to try their best every day. Year 1 is a wonderful time of growth, where children develop confidence and begin to build the positive learning habits that will support them throughout their school journey.
Important information.
Reading books will be changed every Friday. Please read regularly with your child at home to build fluency and comprehension skills. Encourage your child to use 'Fred talk' when sounding out new words - they are familiar with this way of reading in school.
Year 1 PE sessions take place on a Wednesday afternoon. Please ensure that your child brings the correct kit every week.
