Year 1
Welcome to Year 1
In Year 1 with our Autumn topic ‘Memories’, children’s knowledge and appreciation of local history, special memories, customs, traditions and growing up are studied. With our Spring topic ‘My School and the World’ we look at the location of our school, explore this within the UK and learn about the UK’s four countries and capital cities. We look at where the UK is in the world, learn the names of the continents and oceans and look at weather and climate across the globe. Finally, in our Summer topic ‘Sun, Sea, Sand’, we learn about the history of holidays at the seaside and look at similarities and differences between our holidays then and now.
Daily phonic sessions support your child to become independent readers and regular reading at home helps your child to review and recall their learning. You don’t need to read a whole book every night but a few pages a night would be very beneficial.
During the school day, we always look out for children demonstrating our school values: Happiness, Responsibility, Courage, Resilience and Quality. We always try to be the best we can be in Year 1 and are not afraid to give things a try, no matter how hard they may seem!
