In Year One with strive to teach our learners to develop their independence, resilience and confidence in all aspects of learning and life skills. That is why we teach through a mixture of adult and child led learning.

What do we teach?

Children in Year One build on their learning from Early Years through practical tasks, hands on learning and a variety of evidence in their books.

In Year One the subjects we teach are:

• English
• Phonics
• Maths 
• Reading 
• PE
• History / Geography (alternated half termly)
• Art / DT (alternated half termly)
• Science
• PSHE 
• Computing 
• Music
• Kickboxing

Reading and phonics

We are passionate about teaching early reading skills which opens opportunities for children to achieve well in all areas of the curriculum. We follow the Little Wandle scheme for reading and phonics. Each child has a reading book which is matched with their current phonic stage.

As well as the book your child has been reading during Little Wandle sessions, children also select a library book to develop a pleasure of stories. This can be enjoyed as a family at any time of the day. 

In class we have daily just listen time. Below are the stories that Year One enjoy during just listen time.
