Curriculum Overview
 
We have a very exciting Year 1 curriculum that your children will not be able to stop talking about! Over the year they will enjoy learning about the Titanic which will include a fun Titanic day where the children come in dressed as passengers ready to hop on board! They will also enjoy visiting the local church and take part in weekly forest school sessions developing their skills in teamwork, endurance and problem solving. Our English sessions help us dive into a world of imagination exploring stories and poetry and in Year 1 we love reading.

RE - Harvest
PE - Health and Wellbeing
Computing - Learning how to log into purple-mash and find our way around the site.

Homework - Reading
 
In year 1 we love reading!
 
 
We want our children to be reading every day, even if it's only a couple of pages. From 9th September we will send home with the children 1 book at a time in their bookbag. When you have finished that book, jot down a note in their journal and please send in their bookbag and we will change it for a new one. Sometimes the children may bring a book home that they have already read - this is a good thing. The first time your child will read a book, they may spend a lot of time sounding out the letters (segmenting) and then the second time they read it they will be blending their letters to form words. Reading the same book again is fun (we even do it as adults) and it will help them develop fluency and to understand what they are reading.
 
HR Books - You may have noticed that we have introduced a new reading book (in addition to their regular levelled books) to take home. These are from our class library. They have a sticker on the front with the letters HR on it, standing for Home Reader. Children will be encouraged to choose a book from the library, take it home and read it with you. These books are for you and your family to enjoy together, they are above your child's reading level, so please read it to them and enjoy it together. When you finish the it, send it back and we will give you another one.
