Year 1 Curriculum Information
Please see the link below for the curriculum overview for Year 1. This overview includes all the topics covered in the Autumn, Spring and Summer terms.
Phonics
We use the Read Write Inc. Scheme for phonics. As your child progresses through Read Write Inc phonics, they will take learning support materials home including QR codes (related to the sounds and words they are learning to blend to read) and books (reflecting their current phonic knowledge and skills). Phonic books include the following:
Storybooks: Each week your child will take home a copy of the storybook they have just read at school. Re-reading familiar stories helps to improve your child’s fluency and comprehension.
Book Bag Books: These books are matched to the storybooks your child has read in school. They are used for extra practice.

Welcome Back!
Have a look at some of the amazing activities we have been up to in the Autumn Term so far 🙂
We had a visit from Levi Trefari on National Poetry Day. We joined in with his poems and had a go at writing our own poems.
RE
As part of our Harvest topic, we found out about Sukkot. We had a go at creating a model of a Sukkah using our construction toys.
Art
We have been looking at primary and secondary colours in our Art lessons and worked out how to create different shades of green to decorate a handprint.
Mathematics
Following the White Rose Maths scheme, we have been comparing numbers using the comparison symbols.
Art
We have used our knowledge of primary and secondary colours to create a circle design based on the work of Clarice Cliff
Extra Curricular
We had an amazing opportunity to visit Laurel’s Wood Forest School. We learnt how to make fire and made marshmallows on it, created flags using flowers and leaves, made medallions by sawing wood and drilling a hole for the string and created dens using sticks and leaves from the area.
