Year 1

Welcome to the Year 1 page! 

PE

In Year 1, we recognise how important PE is as part of the curriculum.

Our PE lessons are as follows:

• Outdoor PE - Wednesday
• Inside PE - Friday

The children will need their PE kits in school for their PE lesson. This should consist of:

• blue, black or grey shorts/ bottoms
• a white or house coloured t-shirt 
• pumps or trainers which the children can fasten themselves. 

Homework

We are really keen for the children to use Numbots.

This website allows your child to practice and apply their understanding of number. It supports them with their maths learning in school. We recommend that your child uses their login at least three times a week.

Reading at home

In Key stage 1, we value the importance of reading. We know that learning to read is a priceless, life-long skill that will unlock the whole curriculum for your child. Reading is important in all year groups but particularly in Year 1 as your children will sit their Phonics Screening Test in June. This assessment includes testing your child's phonics knowledge and how well they have progressed throughout the year.  

It is important that your child reads regularly at home to help them consolidate their sounds that they have been learning in school, develop their fluency and support their comprehension. It is really important that all children have their reading records and reading books in school each day. Within their reading record, it is really important that you record every time they read at home as this provides important communication between home and school. When your child reads at school, you will receive feedback in the reading record too. 

Continuous Provision in Year 1

We believe that continuous provision in Year 1 enables the children to explore and apply their recent learning, communicate confidently, think critically, while crucially building on their independence. The classrooms now have some continuous provision activities set out in the classroom to help aid the children's transition into Year 2.
