Overview
In Year 1 children learn through whole class carpet sessions, table work, group work and continuous provision. They are given a wide range of opportunities to discover and create. Mornings can include phonics, where we follow the Read Write Inc programme, Maths and English lessons as well as opportunities for independent learning. In the afternoons the wider curriculum subjects are taught through a connective approach, with more time to explore through provision. As the year progresses children will move to a more formal approach to lessons, helping them to get ready for Year 2.
To see more of the learning and activities we do in Year 1, see our Year 1 blog below.
Year 1 Home Learning Platform:
In Year 1 we use the Tapestry learning platform. Here you will be updated on events, notices and home learning tasks. We will also share some of the children's practical learning and the children themselves will use Tapestry to share their learning during provision.

They were incredibly inspired and we can't wait to see how amazing their own stories are when they write them in a few weeks.
Y1 – Day of Welcome
As part of our curriculum day Year 1 have talked about what it would be like to have to move to a new school or a new place. We read the story 'Bobble' and discussed how Bobble felt landing in a new place . The children were incredibly empathetic and we were really impressed by all their ideas about how to make someone feel welcome when they come to our school for the first time.
