Welcome to Year 1 (Rabbit class)

In Year 1 we have Miss Everest and Miss Daniels in the class all week, with Mrs Hayes teaching Spanish and Mrs Hollands teaching PE and computing on a Wednesday afternoon. On a Friday morning the children will also have a music lesson with Mrs Hanna.

We aim to make the transition from EYFS to Year 1 as smooth as possible. With this in mind we begin our learning in Year 1 following the National Curriculum through continuous provision. After an input on the carpet the children will either work in a teacher led focus group or be provided with an opportunity to independently explore different areas of the classroom that have been set up to consolidate and extend their learning. This style of learning brings many benefits, including that the children should have a positive attitude towards learning and become more resilient as well as independent learners. The children in Year 1 are able to access the learning both indoors and outdoors, using a wide range of resources.

 A termly curriculum overview is available below which includes what we will be covering in each subject and will be uploaded as the year progresses.

We look forward to working with you to ensure that your child has a happy, busy and successful year. Thank you for your support and cooperation.
