Year 1
Year 1 is taught by Mrs Flatt and Miss O'Connell
Mrs Flatt - Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday
Miss O'Connell - Thursday and Friday
In Year 1, we help to create a smooth transition from the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to Key Stage 1. The children will experience whole class, group led and paired work with teachers and will follow a timetable but will also experience a continuation of play based activities throughout the first Autumn half Term. By Christmas the journey into Year 1 will be embedded and more focus will be placed on structured lessons. We continue to learn practically and encourage the pupils to be the experts.
We have daily Maths, English and phonics learning, as well as weekly Music, PE, Computing, PSHE and topic themed sessions. As much as possible we link the topi learning to the children's own experiences and capital. Each week the children visit our wonderful school library too.
Like all classes in the school, Year 1 are lucky enough to have a weekly forest school session, led by the experienced team at Pure Nature Learning.
